As a fellow dane, I can attest to the truthiness of this post ^^

Of course, even at the best of times, it’s tricky to convey exactly what a grade means…arguing that danish grades are worth more than the international standards is harder yet.

Suffice it to say that Danish Universities are generally tasked with pushing out people with diploma’s in such a fashion that the national average of passing grades is the numerical equivalent of our C(7), whereas for most graduate schools in the US, grades below C(2.0) _don’t even exist_ – it goes straight from C to F.
