When were you at Ashland?ksig489 wrote: I went to Ashland U and they had no problem giving people bad grades and then booting them out. I had 4 or 5 good friends get kicked out for bad grades over the 4 years I was there. Maybe I should have gone to Harvard and had it easy!
FWIW my ex transferred from Otterbein to OSU and she said the same thing.LJ wrote: I had a lot of friends transfer from Otterbein to OSU and talked about how much easier it is to get good grades at OSU than at Otterbein. I also knew a few people transfer in who said that Otterbein graded a lot harder than where they used to go (1 girl went to Kent and 1 girl had gone to Denison).
Nail on the head. The most annoying thing about college is that I am surrounded by people I know are less intelligent than I am, but get better grades.ernest_t_bass wrote: Grades are stupid anyway.
My gf was saying over a year ago before she started her vet school clinics, that she heard that the clinics year really separated people who are actually smart from people who are book smart. She had a few rotations with the girl who had the highest GPA going into clinics and that girl would screw up so much and got lots of B- and C+'s during clinics. On the other hand some people went into clinics with a C+ average and averaged an A- in clinics.dlazz wrote:Nail on the head.

I think having common sense and logic trumps booksmarts.
well, IMO, the education you're getting isn't about the grade. That shit doesn't matter. The material is what matters. If you feel you aren't getting a good education, then do more research. Take more time. Challenge the professor. Question them. Force them to educate you.darbypitcher22 wrote: hmm.... kind of bothersome to me.... makes me lose a little faith in the private school education I'm getting...
