Appealing an A-

<p>I wonder what you did to make him dislike you? Also, are you sure you got a 100% on participation? That’s usually where those mean, nasty adjunct professors deduct points because they hate you.</p>

<p>The op attends a community college. He has to transfer.</p>

<p>

Plenty of good schools take a lot of transfers.</p>

<p>I meant he’s in a lower school right now. And a 3.93 in community college does not give you the gall to call a professor an idiot, or think you’re always right.</p>

<p>DreamingBig has spent three years in a community college. It takes him three years to accomplish what an average human being could in two. This should give you a good picture about this academic failure of an individual.</p>

<p>^ Wrong. I spent 1 year at an LAC in NY and 2 years at CC. I’m embarrassed that I could allow this scrub professor to give me an A- but if all is just it will be turned into an A.</p>

<p>But Brahmin, just so you know, I have four years of boxing experience. Just saying…</p>

<p>Three and a half of which you spent biting a pillow.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>We’re selective readers? How about when you ignore pretty much every comment made that said that there is more to earning an A than just following the rubric? All you seem to respond is with personal attacks and threats.</p>

<p>

I am disturbed by the increased number of people learning how to “box” with all sorts of unnecessary pads. Just take a look at Olympic Boxing…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>And it’s not his fault you don’t know what the point of that programming course is. Others have already established that, so I won’t touch on it any further. How is he an idiot and barely qualified when he’s probably gotten more than 30 years of CS experience under his belt? If other students in your class were able to get an A on that final and you didn’t, that’s because they probably didn’t hardcode their assignment like you did.</p>

<p>You got into UNC already. This will be your third college. Why do you care so much that you got an A- instead of an A?</p>

<p>

The OP thinks this will damage his law school chances.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that law schools will already look down on his college switching.</p>

<p>Earlier in the thread, he talked about how this course may lower his GPA almost 0.01 points. Is this the Onion, or are there people who would be willing to expend this much effort for 1/100 of a point? Does it really impact law school admissions if your GPA is 3.96 instead of 3.97? Even if it does impact your law school chances, it’s your fault for not fully understanding the requirements of this course.</p>

gpa (and lsat) is king.</p>

<p>it probably won’t matter, but it’s a battle of principle. but dreamingbig unfortunately has such a ****ty attitude</p>

<p>You really have no clue about law school admissions, do you Stevenf? But then again… You are only 15…</p>

<p>They may be king, but there are other qualifiers. Maybe I’m wrong, though. If so, disregard what I said. But still.</p>

<p>Well, they interview you. How good are you in evaluative interviews? And the LSATs are a huge factor. How good a tester are you? And those college recommendations. I sure hope you weren’t planning on asking your CS professor. Do you have a few professors who can write a decent recommendation? Then there’s the research paper you’ll need to write (sometimes needed to get a higher designation). How are you as a writer (let’s ask Stevenf).</p>

<p>Well let’s see… considering I had a 720 and a 740 on the Writing Section of my SAT both times I tested and considering I’ve never gotten below an A in any English or History course I’ve taken in three years of college… I think I’ll be fine.</p>

<p><em>sigh</em> I’ve got it made, it’s just unfortunate that my CS professor has the nerve to screw with my UGPA. No one crosses me like that.</p>

<p>@limabeans If he actually goes through with his idea of putting posters slandering the professor, I can’t imagine that ANY teacher at that school will write him a good LOR. And I’m sure that the school he’s transferring to will hear about it as well.</p>
