of the GPA




boy I have no idea where that came from .... GDP


um, Maybe I do know where it was hiding in the back of my alleged brain

My kid has run into a snafu at the oldest university in the West

He is scheduled to graduate in May, has way more than enough credits right
now, is Phi Beta Kappa, has been in their honors program every semester, and
has .... here we go, popping out of my head ... an excellent GPA

He applied to graduate months ago before he left to Chile well over an
entire semester ago, ... and before signing up any classes for two full
semesters


Last week someone finally got around to telling him that his AP Calculus
imported from high school was NOT going to meet the math requirement ( he's
English major with minors in Spanish and International Studies ) even
though that is very hard to determine from the info available to the kids
( I read it ) and most of his AP classes ARE being counted

As the guy that has invested ten$ of thousand$ at "the oldest university in
the West" for his education, I'm pretty damn ****ed that his "advisors"
never bothered to tell him this when he had plenty of time to include a
qualifing course in his last couple semesters
