Today, while working in a call center at a university, someone threatened to report me to the President of the University because "I" wouldn't accept their daughter who had a 1.5 GPA and "got accepted into Harvard". I don't even make the decisions, I just answer calls. FML

The parent reported me to my supervisor, my super proceeded to pull the recorded tape of the call and took my side. Faith in humanity restored!

There is no way that kid got accepted into Harvard... Lol too funny.... Let them report you.... Everyone needs a good laugh

This is the culture of mediocrity where everyone deserves Harvard, even the terrible student. Everyone on the team gets a trophy for participation even if they lose, just in case one of them feels sad for losing. EVERYONE loses now and them. The ones who pick themselves up are the winners.

Am I the only person who's having issues understanding this?

It's possible. Maybe just you and the parent in the story, actually.

I'm Scottish and I don't know how GPA works, we don't use it over here. I didn't know 1.5 was bad until I read the comments.

getting in to harvard with 1.5? For what classes, how to scrub the toilets?

1.5 and Harvard.... I would remember this next time I apply for university...

Harvard? One of my neighbors is going there and I know that her GPA is like a 3.0 or something. I also graduated from high school (in 2010) with a girl who should be graduating or already has graduated from Harvard. Harvard only takes really good people who are like straight A+ students. With a 1.5 GPA, I'm surprised his daughter graduated. At my high school, if your GPA was that low, you wouldn't have made it out of high school. She should go to a community college, first, to work on her grades and GPA. I went to a community college, to work on my grades which were in the B & C range and then got accepted to a university, in my town, after I graduated from community college.

It's got to be better than a 3.0 if she's going to Harvard...just saying. 3.0 isn't THAT impressive.

Maybe she meant the 3.0 was while at Harvard. But you're right, a 3.0 isn't impressive at all. However, didn't Bush go to Yale and had a 3.0 or less GPA??? Sometimes if you know the right people you can get into any uni. Just beat them over the head with a sack full of money.

Gotta love the threat this idiot was trying to make. "My barely literate daughter supposedly got into a better school so you'd better let her in because she'd rather go here!" Um....right.

Whoa, that sucks. Don't worry. Your Uni had a reason to decline her
