here we go with the major dick waving. Yeah yeah your school is very serious and hard, you are an elite and you have a bright future. who cares
Haha those stories remind me of what a friend said once. Engineering students/those with a mathematical background will understand this.
The limit as an engineering student’s GPA goes to 0 is business student.

Certain people in my undergrad program had a major beef with business majors because they didn’t have class on Fridays, and could go out drinking Thursday night. I don’t think is was EEs but some other type of engineers, as I never heard anybody talk about it but always say shit scribbled in the bathroom stalls.
At graduation, a large percentage of the engineers let out a very audible “BOO” when the business majors were called to stand for graduation. The business people all looked over like WTF why do you hate us so much.
I lol’d. [/quote]
And i’m guessing if the engineers got into a fight with the business majors, the engineers would ge ttheir asses handed to them, unless of course the engineers built weapons from scrap metal.

Yeah, if you go to a party school or get your degree off of the back of a cereal box. Sadly, there are a lot of “business schools” that offer “Management degrees” that are like that. Mine wasn’t. My program was heavily oriented towards analysis, planning, and ongoing process management. The only undergrads who took higher level statistics than we did were the mathematical science majors.
I had a roommate in college who doubled in Mech Eng. and Management and said that, comparatively, the Management classes were amongst some of the most challenging he had taken. Six of our “core classes” had a re-take rate of nearly 60% when I was there, and this isn’t a community college we’re talking about. It’s a top 25 public university and one of the top Engineering schools in the Southeast.
When you can create a computer model to determine optimal decision inputs across a simulated 100,000 iterations of a purchasing decision with upwards of 50 variable factors in under an hour using Excel, then get back to me.[/quote]
Okay, got back to you. 
I’m an Economics major, I had calc3 when I was in High School.[/quote]
You do know that AP Calculus covered in high school is only Calc I in college? Unless you were far ahead of everyone else, I highly doubt you were taking Calc III. But keep trying to make yourself sound like a genius :)[/quote]
lol @ calc 3 in high school

Our high school offered vector calculus, in addition to real analysis and linear algebra. I wouldn’t be surprised if his did as well. Generally, these tend to be large suburban schools or small private boarding schools.

Not to mention depending on the state the order of calculus being taught is up to the individual school. So while calc 1 at my college involved limits, derivatives, and integration, that could be a calc 3 course at another school in Florida.
LOL @ “I’m an econ grad student”.
I wasn’t aware that taking calculus in high school was special. We did two years of it. My “joke of a business degree” also required four semesters of calculus and three of statistics.
Forgive me for being incensed when someone lumps my management science degree in with the online diploma/party school crowd.

Yes, I never took AP Calc, I went to juco for my classes after Calc I. And, genius…no, let’s just say I’m within two standard deviations from average.

It’s not special, that’s why I was surprised by the reaction I got. Especially because I went to one of the worse states for primary education.

Hahahaha so many kids at my school switched to Management Informations Systems (business school) after failing at an engineering degree. It’s a running joke… can’t hack engineering? Switch to business!
Joke’s on us though… presumably engineers end up working for management.

All of the manager’s I’ve met have either an MS or PhD in engineering, and started in technical positions before moving over to a management track.
If you ever get a chance read the book called ‘Being Geek’ by some guy whose name I forgot. He was programmer in silicon valley, then moved over to a management track, and its a career advice book for technical people. Theres some good info in there and I wouldn’t mind working for that guy.

Fair enough. Did you complete general calc in high school?
