<p>heyyy! i have yet to read "the great gatsby" but i'm wondering, for students who transfered in the past, what was your experience with the summer reading/essay? what would happen if i didn't complete it?</p>
<p>what? Transfers have to read the Great Gatsbty? I thought that was just for the Freshman.</p>
<p>no we do too because we are gonna be part of that whole discussion thing</p>
<p>Basically, nothing happens if you don't complete it. I can't even remember if I wrote an essay last year or not...I don't think I did because I wasn't taking a freshman writing seminar. I went to the large panel discussion but not to the small group discussions and nothing happened...other than having a couple of hours free. ;)</p>
<p>it's a great book, just read it and write a little blurb up about idealism and consumerism and the american dream.</p>
<p>however, if you weren't to read it, i have never heard of anything bac happening to anyone.</p>
