So in that case, you'd be "average of this very select few who even make it this high to qualify for this course."
I don't find that bad at all.

This is a very valid point, but the ironic thing for me was by the time I was with a group who were all about my level, the grade itself meant very little and I could not tell you what grades I had in any but one class for those three years. Likewise there was no curve, we were just expected to KNOW it. A or C didn't matter at that point, while prior to that, a few C's would have been life changing for me.
I think it depends on how high you aim your academic goals.
