How is that even remotely acceptable? No one should graduate anything with a GPA of 3.0 or less.
-
what's wrong with getting C's? You think yer better than average joe. huh?!

I agree. 2.0 is pretty sad.
-
Agreed. If it's something related to your future career, you shouldn't be getting anything less than a B/3.0.
-

There's nothing wrong with getting C's once in a while. But getting a 2.0 GPA implies you're pretty much getting C's ALL THE TIME.
There's no other way to put it - it's sad. And depressing.

Exactly. What quality of work will you be producing once you're out in the real world? C-class work that's what.

Who gives a shit
The person with a 2.0 average once they realize that no one will hire them. Unless they got teh connections.
-
What a conceited bitch you are.
-
I don't think you can graduate from the college of business at my school with less than a 2.5, nor can your GPA be less than 2.5 for classes that count towards your specialization.
-

I have a 3.7 :D

Fresh college graduates that have little work experience HAVE to have good gpa's, everything relies on your education in that case.
-
While you'd like to have some kind of self respect, considering you're paying for these courses. No employers look at GPA.

Not really. Employers look at internships, the degree, etc. The rare occasion is there are rather high level positions in law firms open to certain Ivy League graduates, and those are mostly determined by connections, but GPA can become a determining factor.

:lol :lol :lol Nobody gives a shit about your GPA except your mom. You dont put it on your resume, you only put what degree and where you got it. If they ask you tell them, but they wont.
-
Oh, and GPA can be a determing factor for medical positions too. But really, outside those two fields, medical and legal, nobody's employer is going to give a crap about your GPA. They want to know if you have the skills to make them money, the personality to work in the environment and the personal drive to succeed.
As if our President had a 3.0 GPA!
-
I got the skills, the skills to pay the bills.

Connection stuff is overrated. Just being in any of the 14 top law schools in the US is connection enough. You'd also want a high GPA, if nothing else to get on the Law review staff.

Of course you put your GPA on your resume (if it's any good).
-

Bush had a 77% average at Yale. That translates into a 3.0 or 3.3 at most schools.

Really? That's a shame and kills my joke!

I ended up with a 2.7 because of a fucking mixup that left with me TWO zeros on my record. They refuse to fix it. So. Fuck you.

I was English/Philosophy, so it's not like I'm hireable anyway! It's made getting into Grad School hard, though

some of our best worst employees got 4.0s, and many of our best got 2.0s. why? smart folks don't like academic rigor -- they get the basic principles, and then blow their "study time" on world of warcraft or smoking pot. they usually say "fuck homework" and then go ace tests -- which are usually about 70% of the final score.
mediocre folks think they hafta study and memorize to succeed, but they never grasp the basic principles of what they're studying. they get the 30% homework weighting and a consistent 80-90% of the 70% test weighting, which usually translate to As/Bs in courses. wouldn't hire 'em! gimme a sly lazy smarty over an overly-ambitious middling intellect any day!
on top of that, the study fegs are usually stress factories with underdeveloped networking and/or social skills destined to fail in the workplace. fuck 'em! in the end, it really *is* all about your connections, which is why we all end up working for frat boys!
(for the record, I got a 3.7 in CS and a 4.0 in English in my degree programs. that has done fuck-all for my career.)

I'm just sayin', if you're taking courses on video games, there's no reason to be bragging about your GPA.
-
I'm just saying my university is better than yours.
-
whats a gpa ???
-
yeah, bragging about getting a 4.0 in any liberal arts program is a bit like bragging about how you successfully tied your shoes each morning for a year. we vaguely appreciate the small amount of diligence it took for you to, y'know, show up, but don't go expecting any real credit.
-
whats a gpa ???
what the fuck kind of high school are you in that doesn't have a gpa? :lol

probably a detention center; they don't really so much grade as they give him a hug when he goes a whole day without pissing himself

I believe Vince Young went to Utexas not some doumbass canadian school.

for the record, vince young couldn't spell flaccid either

Vince Young also had one of the lowest Wonderlic scores in NFL history. And it's an intelligence test for NFL players, not the fucking SATS.
-

I hope you realize how this will be used against you :lol :lol :lol
UT is a good school tho, it depends on what classes you take as in every school. And imo, having a 3.7 in film school isn't impressive. I doubt many of the great filmakers even went to film school, and if they did they didn't do great (Spielberg)

Every single one of my film school buddies, all of whom graduated, will tell you that they learned practically nothing in school that'll help them in real-life... but the connections they made there were worth it.

Vince Young, a Texas flag, and a final paper on the wii.

The University of Toronto publishes more research than any other university in North America besides Harvard University.
The University of Toronto library system is Canada's largest academic library and is ranked fourth largest in North America after Harvard, Yale, and Illinois
The University of Toronto ranks first in Canada and 24th worldwide in the Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The Times Higher Education Supplement places the university at second in Canada and 29th in the world overall, 24th in science and 20th in biomedicine.[11] Newsweek also places the university first in Canada, and 18th worldwide, 9th among public universities, and among the top 5 universities outside the United States.
and my points are, y'know, academically relevant.
-
Largest library in canada? Do yall have 8 books now?

did you miss the "4th largest in North America" part in the second half of that sentence? Of course you did, because you're a moron.

Not everyone is cut out for school and some go just because thier parents want them to. Some of the hardest working people I know never got degrees.
oh and what Demi said, you seem to be a real concieted bitch Crystal. College doesn't equal real life.

if she isn't scared of you by the end of the day, you aren't doing something right
-
Not really, she's a really hard working student that loves her field and is proud of her success. She should be. She tries hard, not because having a higher GPA makes her feel better than other people, but because it makes her feel better about herself. She strives to perform better and better, and she is easily a model student at her campus.
:punch
-
She sounds like every other asian out there.

I easily make A's in my classes without working hard.

hard working and boring

Because the teachers call you Creampie Cathy

No, like Drinky said before, I can not study and opt to smoke a bowl or play WoW, or whatever and still go and ace a test. I work hard AT WORK where is actually matters.
-
Not really, she's a really hard working student that loves her field and measures herself not by her own confidence but by external, arbitrary metrics that have no bearing in the real world. She should be more secure. She tries hard, not because having a higher GPA makes her feel better than other people, but because she lacks any ability to recognize that a GPA will ultimate never acknowledge her excellence if she herself can't. She strives to perform better and better, and she is easily a model of complete conformity at her campus.
:punch
Fixed! I'm a jerk!
-
She sounds like every other asian out there.
hard working and boring
Oh snap! :lol
-
ok i apologize, i didn't mean she was like every asian out there
i meant she was like every woman out there
-
Is she hard working? Yes. Is she boring? No.
I think it's silly to condemn her for wanting to work hard. And Drinky, her GPA isn't formed by arbitrary tests. She is involved in mostly studio classes right now, which are incredibly difficult and time consuming. Most people in her program wash out simply because of the workload.
-
i didn't say arbitrary tests, i said arbitrary metrics -- which they are. they're metrics defined independent of any larger consistency or design, and are usually defined entirely by the instructor. they measure nothing in the so-called "real world".
and i'm not condeming her for working hard -- hard work is great, when that heat energy is put to productive causes. your gf just up and condemned an entirely broad swath of intelligent folks just because they don't support her philosophy towards educational rigor. you conservatives and your humorless judgments!
-
I'm not condemning her for working hard, I'm condemning her for being haughty and looking down on people who make a 2.0.
-
Crystal, someone has to make the rest of the students look good!
-
ok i apologize, i didn't mean she was like every asian out there

You're losing your touch, Demi.

i'd hate to see their relationship had willco been a 2.0 student

i don't smoke weed

Her instructors are all professionals in the field she wants to succeed in and her GPA is formed by her success in huge projects that are field related. I've got to figure in her program, moreso than most, that success in school is directly tied into success in the field.

Having been in film school courses, and knowing what she does on a daily basis, you could not handle the work load she has. Film school students are lazy.

I did chuckle that she used the word "distinguished mentally-challenged" in the thread title. Thanks for enlightening us Ms. Lohan.

That sounds like it's giving her real world experience from real world professionals. That's definitely a good thing. Lots of schools seem to think tests from retired, lazy professionals can get you into the work world

she's just so worn out from schooling that he has to pick up the slack

I'm not arguing for her. I'm not debating your point or her point that coasting with a 2.0 GPA makes you sub-human or not. She can argue that on her own. I even said GPA doesn't matter in real life for most employers.
But if someone is going to attack her on academic merit, I will simply backup with facts. The 2.0 GPA is her opinion, and she can argue that on her own.

Oh my bad. I was a little confused because you based your argument on her schooling as opposed to your own.
-
:lol
I think it frustrates her that people would waste money, because she recognizes the value of the greenback, to perform poorly in college. She loves her college so much, that she doesn't understand from time to time that a lot of people do not. I can understand her feelings on people burning their own money, but I don't think she looks down on people as much as she just doesn't get it. She has a lot of self respect.

If you can get a graduate and get a decent job with a 2.0, more power to you. I don't see the problem here. ???

My brother is one of the most successful graphic designers in Washington State -- if not the entire West Coast -- and has been published in more international design magazines than I can count (http://www.sectionseven.com/ for reference). He makes over a quarter of a million dollars a year. He graduated from a podunk university with somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3.0. He coulda got a 4.0, but he felt his instructors were all WRONG and refused to conform to their approaches.
I firmly believe that most 4.0 students are conformists, not original thinkers, and that many of the so-called lazy really feel they have nothing to prove to academia. Hell, I lived in a dorm packed with these folks -- Nat'l Merit Scholars -- for five years. They consistently got grades well below the average, and they're all raging successes. The best of the best spent their time socializing and networking, not studying. We're social creatures, not academic ones, and business operates on the same principles -- it's better to spend your time forming the friendships and connections that will serve you later in life than trying to complete a bunch of throwaway homework assignments or move your grades from B's to A's. Nobody gives GPAs more than a passing glance during the hiring process, anyhow, especially in creative disciplines.

Nope, she doesn't like that either. Everything, we've tried it.

I drink at night, it relaxes me. I drink with friends too, but I think the idea that drinking alone makes you an alcoholic is about as dumb as the idea that a 2.0 gpa makes u a dummy loser.

Haha!
I used to drink a lot. Most of my female exploits involve alcohol, were at colleges or places with booze, and as so, I was used to drinking a lot. When I was rooming with my Irish film school buddy, we'd drink a lot too. But since he's left and I've begun dating CrystalGemini, my drinking has been a beer here or there. The only time I really drink anymore is when I'm out with Disposable White Guy.
-
Usually if I drink a little too much I get really sleepy. I havent had a hangover before or vomited from booze. I dont drink wussy stuff either, I just dont like feeling like shit ;)

Pre-gaming is normal and to be expected if you're under 21.
Me? I don't have any booze at my house so I just bum drinks from my older buddies or girls I'm dancing with if we're going out clubbing. At parties I just take whatever's there. So there's usually very little pregaming for me.
Lol TBS. After hearing about your 'party' adventures, you have a lot more to worry about. lol
Nah homie, you're a lonely, diabetic drunkard. You definately have more to worry about than I do.

We had like 54,000 a few years ago. What happened?

declining academic standards that seemingly correspond with your admission?

probably tightened up the acceptance requirements, not a bad thing actually. U of Minn used to dominate the top spot until they started to tighten their acceptence standards. I kind wish ASU would do it, too bad our president said that any kid who graduates highschool in AZ will be accepted to ASU. I guess with all our campuses acrross the Phoenix metro we have something like 70,000+ students and plan on having about 90,000 total down the road. But at least the girls are fucking hot!

Why on earth would you be proud of being in one of the biggest colleges in the country, FoC? That doesn't mean people want to go there, that means they either have low standards or that it's a state school that everyone goes to due to financial benefits. It generally means nothing about academic rigor.
-
haha, even university of minnesota beats you out.
MINNESOTA
MINNESOTA

Did I mention the flag?
-
I forgot to mention that ASU also seems to be the school of choice (dumping ground) for people that didn't get into UCLA, CAL, and UT :(

More people = more chicks.
More chicks = more hot chicks.
More hot chicks = more chances to dig out a decent looking broad.
Small campuses are not the shit. On my campus if you're a girl that's a 7 or above you're in high demand. Plus, any chick that's a 7 or above thinks they're like the hottest thing on the planet. It's bullshit. I have friends at MSU and ASU and the chicks that they consider to be "average" would easily be considered a 9 on my campus. It sucks. Hopefully I can transfer to Columbia in Chicago next semester.

The university is annually ranked among the country’s very best public research universities and many of its colleges, schools and departments are considered among the finest in the nation. Because of its high academic quality and relatively low cost, the university is consistently cited as one of the best values in American higher education by publications such as the Fiske Guide to Colleges, the Princeton Review and the Kiplinger Business Magazine.
The Times of London, in a 2004 survey of colleges and universities around the world, ranked The University of Texas at Austin the 15th-best university in the world.
In the latest survey by the National Research Council, seven doctoral programs ranked in the top 10 in the nation, and 22 departments ranked in the top 25. Among Texas colleges and universities, The University of Texas at Austin ranked No. 1 in 30 of the 37 fields in which it was evaluated.

I guess that is pretty good then. I forgot that more students means more benjamins, which means it's attractive to bigger professors and research projects.

The person with a 2.0 average once they realize that no one will hire them. Unless they got teh connections.
Employer's dont care about GPA.
Fresh college graduates that have little work experience HAVE to have good gpa's, everything relies on your education in that case.
:lol :lol :lol
So hilarious. Tell that to people with degrees in art related fields. It all comes down to TALENT and ASS KISSING. lol gpa.
Fucking azns.
I know a guy with computer sci degree with a 3.5 + gpa, and he was looking for a job for like 6 months. lol No one wanted to hire him!
People think gpa is so important but it depends on your degree, first and foremost. People aren't going to give a shit about your gpa if you're doing graphic design. They will if you're trying to get into med school or be a doctor.

I've never understood the appeal of research projects and "bigger professors" to undergrad students. All this says to me is more bureaucracy and more classes taught by TAs.

This is correct. I'm working on my apple polishing skills right now. The guys from Campbell-Ewald came to our school and I made sure to get noticed by showing some enthusiasm and an actual interest in alternative/non-conventional advertising. My professor, a former ad executive for GE (not a pHD), even helped me get my personal letters to each one of them sent out and delivered. I'm pretty sure getting my name out there will help me land a job in the future. More than how I did on my Macro Econ final ever will.

Exactly. The chemistry department and engineering college are both really really good. Many of the professors could have easily gone to more prestigous institutions, but UT has a lot of money to spend on research.
UT's liberal arts kind of blows and probably decreases UT's ranking.
-
The college of communication is one of the best in the world and I have heard it's extremly hard to get into.

I don't know about their ranking, but the college of communication is separate from the college of liberal arts.

I only scanned this thread, but IME GPA means little outside of progressing through the scholastic system itself. In the working world, experience is of primary importance--however, the way GPA may transition into real-world experience may be through getting access to higher-tier internships/etc, depending on your field.
-
I don't care about GPA for the most part, but for certain fields I think a high one is a must. I wouldn't care of my accountant had a 2.0 GPA if he/she knew what he/she was doing and had good experience, but I'd be weary of a nurse or a doctor who had a 2.0 GPA.
-
You can't get an accounting degree at my school with a 2.0. :-\

I'm just saying my university is better than yours.

Reading all of your fagass responses reminded me that whether I take an academic direction in my life, I need to get off the fuckin internet and make something of myself.

There's a REASON I avoid the doctors office so much. Half a session is me diagnosing myself while they nod.

That's the thing, such a low GPA would translate into the Doctor not being placed into good/competitive programs, etc (which are hard enough to get into in the first place).
