And yes, it's the portfolio that counts. It really feels more like competition with your self to be honest.

Especially about grades—unless you plan on going to grad school it doesn't much matter as long as your portfolio can speak volumes about your knowledge/education/skill. Truth all around.

There's one or two who are a bit competitive about marks but I don't think that's going to count for anything in the real world ... who cares what marks Mario Testino got at college, what matters is the work you can produce at the end of it. What I can see people maybe getting a bit competitive about in the future is the networking, interning, assisting, that kind of thing.
