Jubilance, and all the rest of you on here who are minority women in engineering and sciences, you all take a lot of crap and you all amaze me. I could never have lasted at my engineering undergrad if I hadn't been holed up in my little liberal arts major haven, and I only have one strike against me.

You know I went to your undergrad as a grad student right?

And you're right, it definately has some characters...but there are some great folks there too.

Wow, I can't believe that you all actually had classmates that told you that crap to your face.

Yeah, I know

It's just always amazed me the attitudes of some of those people ... especially the difference from when I was in my major classes (literature, history, etc.) and when I was in my science and math courses. Some people would say to your face that you only got in because you were a girl. Women would even say it about themselves - I guess they thought self-depreciation was cute.

I think one of the biggest problems in universities today is the divisions between students over stuff like that, and my undergrad/your grad seemed to really accentuate those divisions a lot. I think they're starting to improve, tho'.

Just always pissed me off ... I had better credentials on my admissions application than my SO the Rocket Scientist, but no one ever challenged him on any kind of affirmative action stuff
