I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about the $45,000 I risk losing.

Gen Chem? I'll take the final for you and get an 86.

Seriously though, good luck.

not true at all! well unless your a minority

Well thats odd. Considering that minorities and women in order to get the same high profile job as a white male normally have a HIGHER amount of education.

My dad attended 4 years of college at Seoul University (the cream of the crop of colleges in Korea), and had to attend another 4 years of college at Cal State LA when he came to America.

You think minorities have it easier?
Frickin ignorant dumb@ss.

damn. sux 4 him.

seoul university might as well be the juco down the street. both my parents went to the better colleges in the philippines, my dad went to probably the best college there. but no one cares here.


i really dont think anyone cares if you are a minority all that much, but who the hell has heard of seoul university?



btw at all the UC schools we have + and -. so a + is .3 a - is -3


so like a b- is a 2.7


i have a 2.67 gpa, and well thats really not that good, but oh well. the +s and -s make you not slack off to get the lowest possible say B by getting and 80.5 like in high school.. etc

I have a full ride and had to deal with that sh1t too. I had a 2.97 at the end of my freshman year (I should have had much worse considering how little I cared back then). I wrote a spectacular letter and had the scholarship reinstated for a term (during which I had to get my accum above 3.00 to keep it).

And yes, I finally gave a damn after that. Well...sorta. Anyways, I have one more year left of undergrad, and a total of $0 student debt.

I hope you end up keeping yours Deeko. Nothing sucks more than losing free money.
