Agreed. Good LORs don't really help, but bad ones can tank your app.Rikkugrrl wrote:Since my other post was long, I'm gonna say the main point here, just 'cause it's that important:
IMO, you should drop it 'cause it's only gonna go down hill from here, but if you haven't gotten your letters of rec sent, you need to drop it ASAP and be extremely tactful and polite, perhaps apologize for your behavior. The reason is because you never know how far this is going to travel, and professors can definitely agree to write you a LoR, then write crappy things about you. I know GPA>>>>>>>LoR, but you definitely do not want big honking red flags like "extremely rude to new professor" and "persistent in grade grubbing."
I wonder what a "bad" LOR sounds like...rad law wrote:Agreed. Good LORs don't really help, but bad ones can tank your app.Rikkugrrl wrote:Since my other post was long, I'm gonna say the main point here, just 'cause it's that important:

+1 four years of mediocrity are keeping you from attaining a 3.0.

You had four years (give or take a year) to come up with a 3.X, but now you're claiming that THIS course is keeping you from that GPA. I agree that grades are not always as objective as the profs want you to believe they are, but you (and everyone else that's received a BA or BS) has more often than not been on the positive side of this grading system.

Well, this one time a guy at my school posted a screenshot of his SAT scores. That was pretty epic. But there's something very charming about this "I was robbed of my 3.01" story. I'm still a little drunk, though. Maybe it's just that.rad law wrote:This is fairly lulzy, but there have been better.Action Jackson wrote:This gets my vote as greatest TLS thread ever.

I have more faith in people's aversion to work than I do their goodness. Thus the length of the original post convinces me that it isn't a flame (but if it is a flame, doesn't that make you even more sad? That a troll would go through the trouble of typing up 5 pages worth of back-and-forth email banter?). May God have mercy on us all, except the OP.Unemployed wrote:This HAS to be a flame.

Major props for that.JazzOne wrote:OP: Last spring I posted some retarded shit about my disappointing 1L OCI, and I received a round of criticism akin to what you're receiving. As tough as it was to admit, I was acting like an entitled douche. I have done a lot of soul searching to rectify my attitude. I mean no offense by this, but you would do well to do the same. This whole affair is ridiculously childish, and you have now leveled personal insults against a professional whose career success far exceeds yours for the time being. Life isn't fair. Deal with it.
