Carnegie Mellon puts freshmen on academic probation if they fall below a 1.75 for their first 2 semesters. Sophs-Srs have a 2.0 cutoff.

I really like what MIT does. http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/...ass_no_record/

GCers would never guess...

- that I was also on academic probation (1.5) after my first quarter of college. TOO much partying!
- I secretly want a high adrenaline job - cop, firefighter, storm chaser, rodeo clown, etc.
- At the age of 15, I did a rodeo circuit in Colorado (barrel racing). On one of my days off, I want on a rafting trip down the Colorado River. It was there that I jumped off an 85 foot cliff into the river...biggest wedgie EVER!

- Oh, and my 33 year old, construction worker of a husband, 6'4", 220 lbs, as manly as manly can get, still sleeps with his baby blankie, every single night. He gets mad when I wash it when it starts to smell like dirty socks. It has a name, "Huckie."

see my point?? we are the comfort item generation!

Well sometime's it's not Jedi powers, depends on what books I'm reading.

And is there video?

You were not!! I was in Fall River, December 28, 2001. The woman right before me fell and broke her torch. Did you go to the Hatch Shell in Boston that night?

I still have the outfit too!! I had to get the smallest size as well. I swam in it.

Such a small world...

We pledged a woman who didn't make her grades the first term, then the second term, so she was automatically depledged. She was so well-liked, though, that she ended up living in the sorority suite for another two years, and signing up, if not showing up, for classes. I often wonder how she had the gall.

GC would never know that...

i love video games
i look exactly like my best friend... people get us (and our names) mixed up a lot :)
i'm in love with jonathan groff. he is my celeb crush of the century!

Fanilows, huh?

None that I know of.

But we do have pictures (somewhere) of when wife and I were at a luau on the Big Island. Two other guys and I got "picked" from the audience to go up on stage for impromptu dancing. Annie Potts was there as well (this was when "Designing Women" was at the height of its popularity), and as we reluctantly went up to the stage, she yelled "Show us your stuff, boys!"

So . . . I have shown Annie Potts my stuff.

it may be because it's late, but i think just about everyone here has had something interesting to say.

also, i had no idea that so many of yall sleep with your childhood security blanket/stuffed thing.

Oh yeah I, too, was on probation but not with school. I messed up one semester which dropped my GPA to a 1.9. My chapter put me on probation and threatened to give me the boot if I didn't raise it over 2.5 so I took 9 Spring credits and rocked it out. Got As and a B and then took a summer class and within one semester raised it back up. I've never worked so hard in my life.

I was on academic probation my first year of college-due to mono. Against all advice, I kept that semester's grades, and was kicked out of school the following fall because I missed the cutoff. I did correspondence courses and returned the next summer. :)

I was an excellent pianist when I was younger (I've fallen way out of practice); I played Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor (Op.23, No.5) for my eighth grade piano recital. I chose my undergraduate university based on the reputation of the music department. I was a double major in piano and vocal performance until I realized that my favorite hobby was no longer anything I could turn to as an escape. Almost 20 years later, I'm still glad I made the decision I made, but I miss playing/singing.

I know exactly what you mean. I realized that the fun would go out of it if I had to do it to put bread on the table. It's still my favorite hobby, although music is such a part of who I am that I rarely think of it as a hobby.

GC would never guess that...

I have a brain that matches faces with names immediatly. If I learn your name and see your face once - I will always remember it. This was immensly helpful for recruitment!

Also, I am dyslexic and because of that I can not spell at all. Or do math. I never got out of Algebra 2.
