Acceptable is a relative term like skinny or brain dead. It doesn't necessarily mean good and it certainly doesn't imply the best, which means to reach acceptable you don't have to spend all those extra hours in the library or on Professor Brown's couch with hand cramps. Acceptable will actually make your parents proud if you set the bar low, spending at least a few years in and out of teen rehab.
Most people who settle for just being acceptable won't have an infinity pool or a pharmacist on salary, but that's not really important when you can just marry someone who does.
