@Shipsarecool - Are non-traditional students unintelligent? Students who have families and full time jobs? With bills and mortgages to pay? What about student athletes who have to juggle grades and sports in order to maintain scholarships so that they can afford to go to school in the first place - are they idiots?
Also - you can be intelligent and not prioritize grades as well as be quite dim but pull off a 4.0.
