What's the best way to con my University?
« on: November 09, 2007, 05:52:54 PM »
I really need to drop this course I'm in, but the deadline to drop classes ended four days ago.  It says on the university web-site that the only way to drop a class at this point is if there's some sort of family tragedy and/or I get extremely sick.  What type of family tragedy can I come up with that doesn't come with any documentation/isn't easily verified?  I fucking have to drop this class or my already shitty GPA will read "Tobias Funke level Fuck-up" to all employers.

You'll have to personally confront the teacher and give the greatest sob story ever, I'm serious. A buddy of mine convinced his teacher that he was missing class to tend to his cancer ridden mom. He even faked paper work to pull it off.

If you're gonna do it, you have to do it WELL. Deaths in family is the ultimate no no because it can be traced; any compotent teacher has heard that excuse a billion times and will want something from the funeral as evidence. Therefore an illness is the best thing to fake. I wouldn't try my friend's "cancer mom" trick; instead use it on a young sibling. Its easier to fake the illness of a minor than an adult

Rygar brings out a good point. The teacher's word is basically the word of god when it comes to dropping. Schools have an actual code for unfortunate circumstances which is INC or something analogous to it. Unlike a W, it carries no negative weight in terms of your performance. If you could somehow pull that shit off :/ I mean your best bet is to try to reason with your professor. Going the ALL EYEZ ON ME/ONE AGAINST THE WORLD route is nearly impossible. I actually dont get long with my microbiology lab teacher and tried to figure out if i could drop on basis of some sort of unfair treatment student/teacher bias. Thankfully she was a grad student and i snitched her out to her grad teacher, dealt.

a W is better than a fail, trust me. I might need to drop a class this semester; the deadline is the 13th for us
