Nyu stern curve

Do you guys think the Nyu stern curve is too harsh? Does it prevent people from getting good jobs? I heard the average gpa is around 3.00 as only 35% of the class can get As. Most investment firms want gpas above 3.5, so in your guys' opinions, do you think getting a score above a 3.5 is too hard?

35% is a lot of As man and with a number of friends at stern I can say with certainty it is not hard to maintain a 3.5

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
