<0> Nomex should we just have a monarchy to ensure our leaders are pure
<1> an alleged "movie database" ? LOL
<2> I mean ***hole ivy leaque people who think they are the smartest people and all others are idiots
<3> Nomex, I don't see anything official from Yale there showing his gpa.
<4> I think Bush's GPA is pretty irrelevant
<4> you should concentrate on his policy and decisions
<4> not whether or not hes 'smart or stupid'
<1> ****, I can put up a website sayting it was 5.0
<5> im pretty sure he got like 2.5
<6> Al Gore's GPA was 2.2
<3> It doesn't matter what his GPA was
<5> yeh
<5> http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,25229,00.html
<2> KoBushi I know a person from my old highi school who goes to havard
<3> Nomex, what was your GPA?>
<5> "To the C students, I say, 'You too can be president of the United States,"' Bush said at the 300th commencement of Yale University.
<2> KoBushi and she sent me a message on facebook
<3> Can you prove it?
<2> she said oh your a consertive
<6> Kerry's GPA was just a point below Bush
<2> in a harsh tone
<2> I don't speak to consertive
<2> they are like
<2> she was like I am a smart liberal
<2> I was like wtf
<3> BillFrugg, that is about as stupid as Nomex telling us what Bush's gpa was
<2> I never sent her a harsh comment
<7> gopp hehe
<1> my GPA was 3.6 and I can prove it
<0> who gives a flying **** about Al Gore, he exists only because of tobaco money, yet he preaches against tobacco. If he was a real man he'd give up all his money to tobacco victims
<2> KoBushi I got the facebook
<1> ;P
<7> gopp bitches are mean :)
<3> US-Male, show off
<2> well my facebook has many pro consertive thinkgs
<1> hahaha
<4> my GPA was above 3.6
<2> KoBushi that why I want to go to havard and prove this ***hole wrong
<4> lolz
<8> found the cure to not being able to install.... finally google had an answer.........
<9> My gpa is irrelevant, because I'm not the President of the US
<2> Herzen would you have had the same gpa at yale or havard
<4> probably not
<3> Herzen, and yet you have the ability to adt like P_O with 'lolz' :-)
<3> act I mean
<4> lolz
<7> Average IQ is 100 ... Bush's IQ is estmated to be between 115 and 130 depending on the source
<1> I could get a 4.0 if I majored in basket weaving
<3> Nomex, your GPA has about as much to do with anything as Bush's or Kerrys.
<4> US-Male, **** naw u **** at basket weaving
<2> TheTailor also in america most ivy leaque school
<2> inflate grades
<1> or hell, some kids actually get over 4.0 now ! WHich is fake of course
<2> with big curves
<1> in my system, 4.0 is maximum
<10> US: indeed. I graduated HS with like a 4.76 ;-)
<1> anything over 4.0 is fakery
<1> or, has to be normalized to a 4.0 scale
<10> yes/no. it reflects that you took above-level cl***es
<7> US_Male yeah "extra credit" shouldn't b allowed to count above 4.0
<10> international baccelaureate level cl***es, etc
<1> give them some other tpye of credit, because not all schols do that
<1> *schools
<2> KoBushi anyways ivy leaque inflate grades all the time
<2> KoBushi only oneo professor at havard didn't inflate grades
<7> gopp yep, if you attend+pay
<2> he didn't curve and got ranted
<10> US: yes, every cl*** you took that was not above honors level, should have a -1.. so everyone is on the same "scale" :-)
<1> hehehe
<4> curve can be ****ty
<1> no I mean, give them college level credit or something
<3> gopp, you don't have any proof that Ivy Leage schools inflate grades.
<4> for instance
<4> if everyone does A material
<4> and you do B material
<4> lol
<1> but it should not be "GPA" -- at my high school, no honors cl*** counted above 4.0
<4> and you become the F
<2> yea sure
<2> I have no proof
<1> honors cl***, same grade, same GPA
<2> I can't prove a negative
<1> that was my high school, and probably a majoriity
<10> also, a static percentage is not always that good. i.e. 93% of the questions correct
<10> US: alot of colleges re-calculate GPA from transcripts
<11> lol I don't think they inflate the grades it makes sense that smarter kids get better GPAs
<2> well
<4> Curve for some courses is bull****
<7> grades should b 2-part ... 1 part p***/fail, one part percentile ranking
<3> gopp, it hasn't anything to do with proving a negtive, you simply made a statement you don't know to be true.
<2> stephen^^ please, foro the school to look good they inflate the grade
<4> Like courses with definate right and wrong anwsers
<11> Same accusations get levelled at UK universities and it's all rubbish
<10> Herzen: I love curves.. if everyone gets an F.. and I get a perfect score.. *evil grin*
<4> like a mathematics course
<7> ie: where you fall in the percentage of other test takers
<2> in mathematics
<4> if you answer 95% of the answers correct
<4> thats an A
<2> or physic this ivy leaque do inflate
<4> even if everyone else gets an A
<2> Herzen well a b in my school is 70
<10> Kob: the problme wiht that is, it unfairly penalizes kids at good schools
<2> 89 and above is a
<7> gopp what?
<1> in any event, pleny of kids (like me) took honors courses and got the same grade point as regular cl***es
<7> Lupine how so?
<2> in my unvieristy
<2> they curve a lot
<2> US_Male honors just means you do extra work
<1> so, yes, the scale is not the same and has to be normalized for comparison
<11> Well at mine it's all marked out of 80 points just to confused people, 70-80 = 1st 60-70 =2:1 etc
<2> it means nothing
<10> Heh, there are some tests that even getting 25% right is a miracle
<7> Lupine if they are at a better school, then thier tests should reflect them as being in a hgiher percentile range
<2> US_Male in my univeristy honors student skip first chapters
<2> and do extra work
<10> Kob: not if you have all the brainiacs in one school
<2> KoBushi I see the havard test
<1> also, at some colleges you can actually get more than 4.0 for a given cl***
<2> same math test liek I am taking
<7> Lupine yes, even then
<11> Yep some give 4.3
<10> Kob: where I went to highschool, all the best kids were taken out of the regular school, and went to the magnet school
<2> I was doing the midterm common of havard to study for my test
<2> it was the same material
<2> for math
<1> not at my school.... max grade-points you could get was 4.0x(# of credits)
<7> Lupine the standardized tests are still the same no?
<1> that's at university
<7> state and federally mandated
<9> GPA and everything all boils down to 1 thing. You get out into the real world, and either know your **** or don't know your ****. Things tend to normalize pretty quick from there
<2> US-Male my school highest you can get is 4.0
<10> Kob: oh, i thought you meant regular grades.. no, cl*** tests are not standardized for the
<11> In UK exceptional students can get 1st * or 1st ** then honarary degrees e.g. MA for BA work
<7> You can determine the percentile of the state on state exams, and of the nation on fed
<2> Nomex I heard of student with high gpa
<2> go in to the real world and don't know how to do basic stuff
<6> now there ought to be a minimum GPA before you can cast a vote...
<1> so,all resumes should state that -- "x out of X"
<10> Kob: I tought you were talking about grades in an academic cl***.. not standardized tests.
<11> BillFrugg: lol
<2> BillFrugg lol
<9> at which point the normalization starts
<2> hmm TheTailor thier are atricle
<9> where the guy with the lesser gpa and better understanding goes further
<7> Lupine no
<2> about grade inflation in math courses
<2> at havard
<11> US-Male: don't you have to do that? In EU you have to submit transcripts which show grade out of 80 for every single unit
<2> or water down math
