Let's not forget that he was supposedly accepted into pharmacy school, almost finishing his biology degree without having actually taken biochem, genetics, or microbiology.
Ready for this?
Barely graduated HS
Umass which took 5 years to graduate because I was an immature procrastinating trash
GPA 2.3
SAT 1040 (on 1600 scale)
Worthless management & marketing double major
I HATED schoolin' and studying. I had an awful habit of procrastination and terrible discipline.
Thanks god in US, companies don't care about GPA. Not a single company I interviewed for gave a crap about my GPA. I did land an average job in a leading telecom company making 33K. Then got promoted with 45K 8 months after.
I do have a knack for pretty good public speaking and interviewing. And I also worked my ass off. 6 years later today, I'm in IT management consulting- I'll be grossing just under $180K this year.
I do worry for my future kids. I want those mofos to have a much better start in school.
That's the American way. Hard work and countless second chances. Best country in the world.

I got a 1560 / 1600 . first try.
I got arrested for shoplifting a $200 item from a retail store a month and a half before and my parents grounded me indefinitely.
Bought some Barron's SAT book and had to study. First time for everything...
I was a pretty decent high school student. 3.65 GPA like low 4s weighted. Had a few extra curricular but nothing super noteworthy (president of compete club!). Got into UCLA , cal, UCI etc.
Went to UCLA. Didn't get into MIT or Stanford . not a shocker given my not being president of the school / Inventing google.
Anyway thank you Fry's electronics for making me study. Changed my life.
GPA: 4.7 (weighted)
SAT: 1390
currently going to Drexel University with a 15k/year scholarship. will (hopefully) graduate with both a BS and MS after 5 years.
Based on the 02/09 post, have you now graduated?
Believe it or not, they flew someone down to interview me. I fucked up my past in a way so all this didn't really play out for me. I was rolling in the wrong crowd, interested in meeting more chicks.

lol @ flying down to interivew you
Bullshit? Ah, most unkind, most unkind. Well, engineer, elite member, just what is it about my innocent little post that troubles you? My high Sat? My writing for students? Please speak up and be specific. I'll respond to each of your comments in detail.

Alkemyst you're so full of shit. Give it a rest already.
I didn't have the maturity to study for the SAT when I was 17. I recognized that very quickly after doing a pre SAT test when I was 16. I actually skipped doing the SAT and went the back door through a community college. Most universities have programs setup with their neighboring schools so that you can transfer in with 2 years and no SAT. So if you want to get into Berkeley, Cal Poly, etc there are ways to do it without the SAT. Look up articulation agreements. At least in California.
Took the GRE and GMAT and a few others though and did really well after my undergrad to get into grad school.
Everything you wrote in this thread is horseshit. Go lie somewhere else.
