Engineering classes: 3.8
All Classes: 3.0 (gov.t sucks)

3.6 for me freshman and sophomore year, one F, in my C++ programing lab class...
Coding sucks.
I recieved my B.A. from a school that doesn't grade, we recieved an evaluation write-up instead. You could still tell what your "grade" was by counting words and phrases like excellent, above average, average, below average, and the dreaded, no credit awarded. It was cool.

Whats with all the overachievers around here?? I managed to lower my GPA to a 2.2 by taking lots of crappy CS and post clac math classes that sucked. Since ive switched to an engineering degree its up to a 2.8 though... pretty happy with that. Who cares about grades anyway.

School isn't the only place to learn. Some of the most intelligent people I know may or may not have degrees,either way though, they did most of their learning on their own, because they have a thirst for knowledge and a passion for learning. I will be honest about myself though, I never finished college, nor am I as intelligent as those I people I consider to be intelligent people.

I didn't like school much, too much stress for me. I got some good mountain biking buddies out of it (almost all non-university locals). I got out of there fast in 6 semesters instead of the usual 8-10 most people take - seemed like a waste of my time and money. Lowest grade was B, I got 4 of them while I was there...
GPA was 3.8 (good enough for top 10%) at an ivy

Mine would lower that. I think I end up with around a 3.0 or so. The University of Alberta had a screwy 9 point system when I was there.
I scraped by the classes I didn't like, and aced the ones I did. Thank god, or else I'd be an accountant right now...

the only thing i'll have to wait longer for is for kerry to fully & publicly disclose all his military records (the navy department previously indicated its records did not include various materials), which he vowed to do on january 30th on a meet the press interview (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6886726).
instead, he only allowed for hometown paper to see what he has allowed via SF 180.
what is still lacking is records from the national personnel records center, which is unabridged (however, nixon was still in office for part of this time, so that may be a stretch)

Anyone stop to think that maybe Kerry was trying to get the Files unsealed to show what our role was while the military was running cross border operations during the war? I've read books where units ranging from 5 man recon patrols to entire companies of indiginous soldiers lead by Special Forces NCOs and officers were working into Laos and Cambodia. They were across the border doing all manner of things to prove that governments of those countries were "in bed" with North Vietnam?
