Straight A's

[ShOcKwAvE827]

Gross anatomy and radiology - honors
Molecules cells and tissues - honors??
medical school grading system here is crap though

 

[BrokenVisage]

IST 421 ADV ENT INT 3.0 B+
MGMT 301 BASIC MGMT CONCEPT 3.0 A
MKTG 301 PRIN OF MKTG 3.0 A

Comparing GPA outside of a specific course at a specific school during the same semester under the same professor is a waste of time. Two personal examples:


Digital Logic. My professor tought this as a weeding out course and my final grade after lots of work was a B-. My classmates had another professor who was a joke that same semester, they couldnt' even answer some of my relatively easy questions and they sailed through with As.

Probability, Statistics, and Reliabilty. I took this during summer semester in order to help me squeeze in a second minor. It was slightly difficult but I had that professor before and she was a lot easier than in my other course with her and I ended with an A. Next semester the same friends from the example above struggled to get Bs with the same professor I had (these friends have GPAs of 3.98, 3.8, and 3.65). My knowledge was on par with their knowledge, but since I was taking it with a bunch of people who had already failed her once, I got better grades.


It gets even worse when you're comparing degree programs. My wife has a degree in English. I love to read, I just don't like to analyze it. Most people would consider Engineering far superior than English. I believe I could have completed an English degree, but I guarantee I would have had a few sub-Bs when I hit the senior literature classes.

As far as different colleges, yes, there can be a large skill difference between similar degrees. That being said, getting up on a high horse just because of what college you went to is a joke. It looks good on a resume, but what matters most in a degree (generically) is the ability to learn. There are several specific fields such as engineering, medical, and legal that require a degree in that field because of the responsibility to the public, it wouldn't do to have bridges collapsing, patients dying, and bad laws being passed. (and of course it helps to know a subject to plan on teaching)

There will always be people who graduated from a big name university who you are smarter than, and there will always be someone who has no higher education who is smarter than you, so don't focus on where you stand but on what you are working on.

very well said. better to just ask if you are an A student, B student, or C student.

Just transferred to the engineering program at Univ of West Florida. Great way to start off my junior year! Circuits and Digital Logic were the two harder classes, but I think the biggest thing was just staying on top of all the homework and not falling behind.

How did you guys do this semester?

good job man!!!

because of their pride. Ya know, you can still succeed and not go to one of those schools... of course they would have you believe otherwise. It's become almost like a challenge for me. But this is true with college in general. I hate how it's as if colleges are saying "If you come here you can make more money, but if you don't you are doomed to a life of minimum wage." Some of the most wealthy people on the planet didn't go to college (or dropped out of it).

dude, what are you smoking? It's the business men that employ the engineers. Engineers would be homeless without the business men to write out there salary every month. :disgust:

edit: lol that discription i gave of business men for some reason made me think of Tom from Office Space. "What would ya say ya do here, Tom?"

Try getting that at a top 10 school.

Your comment is mean.

Honestly, i thought that, until I got into law school. People who do that well I believe are destined to do well no matter where they go to school, because they also have the drive.

I'm sure if he did try to get that at a top 10 school, he would.

edit: im kinda mad cause im goin through the whole examweek bullsh1t

you're comparing business to engineering??

business at #1 school > engineering at iniversity of west florida

I live in FL and I've still never heard of that university

Your not hearing of a university doesn't make it a bad one.

I agree to a certain extent, but I'm not so sure that he could get into a top 10 school if he tried... competition is pretty fierce
