<li><p>Not to rain on this party, but how many threads have we had exactly on “what is the downside of going to MIT?” in recent weeks? lol</p></li>
<li><p>Hey, hey, hey - at least for the Class of 2011 (which hasn’t graduated yet), we can still do the 2nd SB - so Mollie, you can’t afford to be all uppity and stuff yet. ; )</p></li>
<li><p>Yeah, so every other school’s credits = MIT credits / 3. Also, every other school’s GPA = MIT GPA - 1. I think MIT just wants its students to feel special and be less stressed out =D</p></li>
</ol>
<p>(it might be kind of sad, but I practically never think in the 5.0 GPA syste anymore - I usually just -1 to make it easier for my non-MIT friends to understand =p)</p>
