My highest mark is 88%, and obviously wanting to be a working writer, I want to come in at 90 something % every time. But, not yet.
Well, I think because your degree is all writing, it's a bit hard to match up to mine, which is about... 30% or so writing. Most classes have little or no writing, but the ones that do tend to require a lot of it. The term paper I wrote last semester was graded at 95% but I'm sure it was sub-threshold for publishing, if only because I'm not advanced enough in my studies to confidently critique cited publications.
