Idaho BS thread in the PNW

brady! whats up dude

im finally getting packed

 

Anyone re-take a college class in here?

 

ill be taking math again next semester im sure!


ALSO, ben, adam, mike, make sure u guys send plenty of pics of the camping spot so i know where to go

 

Very stiff.

And i havent heard ANYTHING wrong about the All pro springs. Great leaf packs. Id say one of the best. I got 3.5" at least. Little bit of rake, but perfect IMO. Ill get some pics tomorrow, but i really need to get rid of the BL. The extra height made look alot worse

 

Not much just working on figuring out what all I want to bring to Moab. I think I have most of the big stuff figured out, just trying to decide what food to get.

 

I haven't ever had to...But this Ochem stuff is pretty hard..

What does it do to your GPA if you retake a course? Do you think grad schools look at that and think it's bad if you have to retake a challenging course like Ochem?

 

A few haha

 

Did you do better the second time around? You gonna graduate on time?

 

no clue, never failed (well got a D but thats not a passing grade) anything before ever, which is why im so pissed. Im sure the failing grade will hurt your current GPA, but it will be just like taking a regular class next semester. it doesn't matter if you are retaking it, it doesn't change anything.

WHAT! Oh tits i hope i can do that! That would be awesome!

 

At ISU when you retake a class the new grade completely replaces the old grade, so the old grade no longer affects your gpa. As long as you have a good gpa when you apply and look good otherwise I don't think you retaking a hard class like ochem will look too bad.

 

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks man. Even if I do get a C in Organic, I feel like I should retake it..

 

seems like the replacing grade thing is a porular theme, im getting some hope for me.

if you passed it i wouldnt waste my time taking it again. plenty more classes you have to take and spend time and money on.

 

Yeah, I googled a lot of stuff and it looks like all the major universities are based on the same system. I might retake it. Feel like a terrible student haha

 

Yes I have done better the 2nd time around on them. And no I am not graduating on time. I did bad 2 semesters in a row (my first two, I made work more of a priority than school) and got dismissed for a semester. Then I got deployed and everything is all sorts of fucked up. If I graduated on time I would have just graduated 4 days ago. haha

I didn't take them the following semester. Hell I am going to retake a couple classes I got D's in this coming year. Also they still show up on my transcript they just have an R next to them now rather than the F or D I got on them the 1st time.

 

Very true. I'm trying to go into grad school and it's very competitive.. So I just want to put my best foot forward in this.

 

Most grad school programs require B's or better, and if it is a really competitive program you damn near have to have straight A's...

 

oh gotcha. wasnt sure what level the class was at

 

Haha. No. Ochem is an undergrad class, but grad school requires you to get B's or better in certain classes or they won't let you in. I'm not sure about what you have to get once you get in though might depend on the program. I know my gf has to still get B's in the Physical Therapy program but it is super competitive to begin with and they are pretty strict with them.

 

What's up Christmas? (I suck at this nickname thing haha)

 

2 days worth huh? That sucks. Any kind of time frame on when you will have the license back yet?
