I know you (usually) give witty and\/or useless and acerbic responses. But bear w\/ me on this one! I’d like to go to law school (not Dalhousie’s) and my grades are steady 70s. While I’ve done everything in my power to improve them (i.e. writing centres, editing, turning essays in on time etc.) they have simply not budged any higher. All the while I’m being told idiots from UTSC\/UTM are going to get the same degree as I do at St. George for less effort and that UofT bell curves like it’s a fetish. So my question is this: What on earth could I possibly do (other than dropping out) to do better and stay sane? MERCI BEAUCOUP!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As someone contemplating a career in law, you really do a lousy job at manipulating words for your own advantage… perhaps your future lie in some other discipline, which doesn’t involve such demanding skills such as tact (*** SNAP *** ).<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I can muster any of my useless advice to address your little entanglement, which, and that may be the source of your repellent exposition, is sort of unsolvable. Your point about the different grading system at the suburban campuses may be valid, but then again how does that help you (it doesn’t). So there are three things you can do:<\/p>\n

a. Go to Dalhousie<\/p>\n

b. Give up your law school aspirations, or at least explore other career possibilities.<\/p>\n

c. Continue at UofT, and try (harder) to improve your average, coz your steady 70s are gonna steadily eradicate any chance of admittance into law school. If you feel that St. George will never provide you with an opportunity to improve your GPA, go take some courses at UTM\/UTSC- you can take up to 10 credits, and if those fit your program and are transferable, you might benefit from that. Not that your benefit is my concern.<\/p>\n
