Graduated, missed out on cum laude, feeling crappy Forum

[rad lulz]

Serious question - are people firebombing the OP just because he went to Harvard or because of the honors thing?

It's funny how TLS is full of aristocratic snowflakes half the time and full of the Les Mis street urchins who hate them the rest.

I call being Javert.

Not one of the street urchins bro. Gavroche is TCR.

40% get honors? What the fuck. Anyway, I know how it feels to barely miss a designated honors cut-off. It sucks for sure. But whatever ... prolly doesn't matter unless you were gunning for academia or something.

That would fit pretty well actually.

I swear, not trolling.

Graduated from HLS last month. Top 40% of people get some sort of latin honors. I didn't.

I still feel bad about it. I was really close too

I'm afraid that graduating from HLS without honors looks pretty bad.

I do have a job... but... I dunno. Still feels like I spent 3 years working my ass off at the wrong place and have nothing to show for it.

I'd feel terribly in your situation too. Of course, you deserve it for being the type of person who would take H over Y to begin with.

Not true. What if he was #1 in his class and on his way to a SCOTUS clerkship? I mean, he DID miss honors man. That is pretty much /self right there.

LOL @ you if you think SCOTUS clerks stop striving after they clerk. See, e.g., the cut-throat environment of academia.

For srs?

You don't see how OP is a mondo douche? If this conversation were happening IRL I'd laugh in his face, then never talk to him again.

I thought I was going to miss honors at graduation. Ended up with honors. Whew. Bummer, breh.

The Harvard/Yale shit is undeniably douchey. But the honors stuff isn't necessarily.
