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!

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.

can't take crazy people? don't work with people... don't go into a job where you run into all sorts of people if you're just going to whine when you run into a difficult one.

A 1.5? I got A's and B's in high school and my GPA came out a 3.0 . I would really hate to see her grades.

Storytime! I got into several schools on par with ivy (that I couldn't really afford) and was denied admission to a regular old state school in my home state. I called them to ask them why (especially because they'd allowed me to apply for free because I was a semifinalist for a really prestigious full-ride scholarship and I should have been an auto-admit anyway) and the woman on the phone said, "Honey, you have a 2.2 GPA. Maybe you should try community college first." My GPA was a 4.2/4.0 (weighted=20 semesters of AP). I don't really know how 2.2 happened, because my printed copy had 4.2 on it. I did actually threaten with telling a board member (a colleague of my dad) if it wasn't corrected immediately because the scholarship deadline was approaching and I did mention the much better places I got in. It could be a similar case/situation. I'm just glad that the person on the other end of the phone listened to me. FYL if she did have a 1.2 and F her life if it was the same kind of case as mine.

Lol. Maybe she was confused? Maybe she thought that a brochure she received was an acceptance letter? I received invites to visit colleges to see if I was interested, but I didn't apply to them because I knew I wouldn't get accepted, ever. Lmao. Fml, too.

If she got accepted into Harvard, which she obviously didn't, why would she apply to what I'm assuming is a much less prestigious school?

1.5 is a C. As a high school student I could by far say that she would never get into any decent college let alone Harvard. My GPA is 3.9. I don't even think I could get into Harvard.
