Good grades in 400 level classes don't make up for slacking in 100 level classes.
Here is an email from the professor of my
Formal Langauges class.
I just wanted to tell you 5 that though some fluke of nature, there is a 5-way tie for highest average in the class (there is a <2 point spread). If I could give you an A+ I would.
And from my
Distributed Systems grades page.
You received a grade of A+ as my way of indicating that your performance in this class was stellar. Unfortunately, Rutgers does not accept A+ grades on transcripts, so your grade will be recorded as an A.
And yet, I get a B+ in a 100 level
Macroeconomics class with multiple athletes. But then again, I guess it's appropriate that a Linux user would kill the CS classes and struggle to understand the economy :)
