WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions Forum

[chingwoo]

WTF are these kids going to do? I can't imagine they would be hired with a big F on their transcript, and having to explain that they cheated. Pretty severe consequences.

I can't imagine they stay in school. Why waste 2 more years' tuition when you're basically barred from the profession.

I've heard that was Mcgarian's objective. The school didn't have any "hard proof" and so they were going to do nothing again. Bear in mind some of the cheaters were some of the same people who allegedly cheated with no reprecussions last semester. Mcgarian wanted to basically force them to choose another career path.

I would caution throwing accusations out about things you've heard along the rumor mill.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything.

Are all the grades in? Rankings coming soon? I derive my self worth and happiness from my rank.

[futago]

Frankly though I have no sympathy for them.

This.

At least one grade is still out. Judging from the grade distribution page, many are.

Thanks for answering question guys!
I'll be coming to St. Louis from VA, and I'm contemplating whether or not I should lease a car.
I'm looking for apartments primarily in the Clayton area. Are there grocery stores/drug stores and restaurants close by? Enough that a car is unnecessary? Also, if I get a place on Washington Avenue, is it safe to walk to campus?
And if a car is recommended, does anyone know of some reliable leasing offices? Thanks

I'd say it kind of depends on what area of Clayton. If you were going to try to do the no car thing in Clayton, you'd almost have to be near a metro stop, and even then I would imagine it would be a pain at times. As far as access to grocery stores, food, etc. again, that would depend on where exactly in Clayton you were.

If he means the Washington Avenue just north of campus, then yes it is completely safe to walk to campus.

Ah ok. I didn't know there was one in that area. STL has multiple streets with the same name. I think there are like 3 named olive.

True that.

Yeah they're really the "same" but they just start and stop over and over because of all the dumb dead ends in the CWE.

And for whatever reason they change the suffix sometimes too: Wash Ave is Washington Place at some points for no apparent reason.

How long does it take for rankings to come out once all grades are in?

Percentile cut offs were up pretty fast last semester, 1/13/15

[bluedolphin]

How do you get 2L summer jobs?

[konar]

OCI, symplicity listings, mass mailing, J.D. advisor leads, networking, job banks, etc

And it's official. Allegations of cheating will again go unpunished by our fantastic administration. Yay alleged cheaters!

Looking at the email again, is it 6 charges total three of which were dismissed?

Maybe. I thought the 3 charges were the 3 dismissed, but maybe they are seperate? I don't know.

That's how I read it, only 3/6 allegations dismissed.

See Fiero, that's why you're a beast. You interpreted that e-mail like a judicial opinion.

[chingwoo]

How do you post images from your phone? But there are charges but no determinations.

[Fiero85]

Lol

[PourMeTea]

I wonder how substantiated these allegations are. Maybe they'll bring back in those language experts
