Similar. I really struggle to listen to boring shit. I kicked ass in every class I found interesting, and passed the others.RoadDawg55 said:My first semester of college I got a 1.4. I was put on academic probation. I wasn’t even partying much because I didn’t know anyone and hadn’t found out where anyone cool hung out at. I sat in my dorm room, smoked weed, and played Madden, Fifa, and Call of Duty.
My roommate was doing even worse than me in school. His family was loaded and he would smoke weed all day, stay up until 3 or 4 am because he would nap almost all day. Decent enough guy and he was generous with getting food delivered to our room, but I doubt he’s doing well these days. He also got no girls and was in the fucking room 24/7.
I ended up graduating in 5 years with a GPA around 2.8. Had some 4.0’s but don’t remember many of my classes. The only 4.0 I can remember was a winter session Econ class where you simply had to show up and then there was an open book, open notes, and you could copy any other students test. The professor didn’t care.
I score pretty high on IQ tests and did well on my SAT’s but school was always boring and I had no interest in any of it. -
This^^^. I was a bored, mediocre student in high school, apparently crushed the ACT, and had invites to Ivys and privates (I went JUCO). Bored, mediocre student as an undergrad, by the time I figured out what I wanted to do, and that it required at least a Masters, it was too late. I was required to take the GRE to be considered for admission (a 3.0 GPA waived it), and apparently crushed the GRE, getting bombarded with literature and applications for PhD programs...in conclusion, I am a really good educated-guesser, I guess...RoadDawg55 said:My first semester of college I got a 1.4.

EDIT: I got some 4.0's in grad school, but never really thought that much about it because I was really into it, and it was fun. I was so immature I'm still amazed I survived, much less graduated...

MATH 124
EE 331
I didn’t have much “fun” in college. I often had labs well into the night on Thursdays and would walk up memorial to 17th and it’d take me a minute to remember what the hell was going on.

Most of them.
I was a finance major (worthless) so in a lot of my classes there was literally just a midterm and final. I dropped anything that used "participation" as a grade metric.
I did get one C. My last semester I only had 1 class which was an upper level finance class Tues and Thurs that I only went to on Tues.
I already had a job though so just didn't really give a shit. Even with it I had like a 3.82 or something -

I think there is an apple and oranges thing happening here. The people who actually went to UW remember (at least when I was there) that profs were required to use a modified decimal grading system. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, Etc. So really for most classes to get a 4.0 you had to achieve a 97% or above on coursework. Setting aside the crayon degrees like business and speech communications, getting an actual 4.0 in a class (as opposed to a 3.8 or 3.9) was pretty difficult.
I had one. ONE. 400 level logic class. Ironically only final I took while drinking.
And whoever asked who the scraggly beard raincoat phill professor was - had to be Clatterbaugh or Ron Moore. If he was an asshat that looked like 30 lbs of pig shit in a gunney sack, it was Ron Moore. If he looked like he wanted you to fuck his wife it was Clatterbaugh.
So the real question for the group is you got your grades via telephone back in the day. The rumor was Starman, the IVR assistant, would say something after reporting the quarter grade if and ONLY if you got a 4.0. What was the communication and did Starman actually say it? -

I think I also got around a 1.4 my first semester partying every night. "C's get degrees is what I would hear from the Seniors, etc..."
But my roommate took it to a whole new level. Nice enough guy and we used to hang out for the first couple weeks of school. He was a huge pothead and started getting into shrooms and dropping acid every day. I literally saw the guy maybe once a week & he was always with his druggie friends.
To this day I've never seen a more disappointed parent when his Dad had to come up to get his things at the dorm because he flunked out with a 0.0 gpa. -
That actually was one of my 3 classes my last semester. I started doing a report on the pillars of islam or some bullshit then realized I could drop 2 and no one would care.FireCohen said:Islamic studies
They said you had to take 3 to keep your scholarship but since I was graduating on time with that 1 class no one cared. -
Clatterbaugh was my advisor and it wasn’t Moore either, who was on the pudgy side. The guy I’m thinking about was a tall’ish emaciated string bean. If you say his name I’ll remember it. He was a Yale guy.StLouisDawg said:I think there is an apple and oranges thing happening here.
