<p>No, Jiffsmom, I’m just ignoring you. I hear plenty of opinions from UW students every day. You know, considering I am one. I don’t need your interpretations.</p>

<p>Listen to how your premise sounds: course lockouts from schools that accept students in their sophomore year and have multiple open lectures RIGHT NOW IN AUGUST keep highly motivated students from graduating on time because they couldn’t find a useful class to complete among the 1000+ offered by UW each semester. These same students constitute a large enough segment of the student body to significantly affect graduation rates at UW-Madison, a school with 30,000 undergrads, even though its largest college (L&S) is not application based. This is the primary reason that half of UW students don’t graduate in 4 years.</p>

<p>Your proof: anecdotal stories from one guy who “knows people.” He better know a whole lot of people.</p>

<p>I don’t blame you for knowing nothing about a school you’re not affiliated with. I just don’t get why you pretend to know anything. You’re ignorant about UW. And you’re a fool for not knowing it.</p>

<p>Nothing wrong with throwing around ideas. But there’s no need to defend baseless opinions when there’s many people from UW telling you you’re full of ****.</p>
