A Profile Area for Academic Information

Anyways, I've been thinking about this lately, and I think that it would be a really good idea for this forum.

Basically what I'm proposing is an area of your profile dedicated to certain academic criterion such as Grade level, GPA, SAT score, AP scores, ACT scores, and the likes.

The reason I am saying this is because I've noticed lately the large number of unqualified answers to legitimate questions, which often lead conflicting answers between the qualified posters and the unqualified ones. This is quite confusing, and probably has led to many frustrated thread creators.

The information could be shown in the same area as the location (right under the member name). This would help people weed out some of the truly bad advice that I've seen around here lately from some new members that in fact should not be advising other people. Some of this information could be made board-specific, (eg: in the SAT board, only the SAT scores are shown) but all of it could be included in the member profile area.

Hope you guys consider it!
