Really? In the two graduate programs I know about, grades are A, B, and C-U-later.

@BobBrown So A and B pass. Does it really matter if you get an A or a B as long as you pass?

Grades are not so unimportant. If you ever go into industry or seek a teaching position or even research position at a lesser institution, they may ask for your grad school GPA. And it can very well matter.
