Einstein didn't finish HS but he instead joined the ETH Zurich school.

OP are you the next einstein? no. Einstein did his first scientific paper at the age of 15, you have a .5 GPA. Face the facts, I highly doubt your IQ is so high to merit you an entrance to MIT. Stop living in a fantasy world. Either go to a CC raise your GPA and work your ass off or join that Graphics design institute that fanatics told you to consider.

Either that or the army dude. I know people who stayed in HS for 6 years but never with such a disastrous GPA.


The Einsteins sent Albert to Aarau, Switzerland to finish secondary school. While lodging with the family of Professor Jost Winteler, he fell in love with the family's daughter, Sofia Marie-Jeanne Amanda Winteler, called "Marie". (Albert's sister, Maja, his confidant, later married Paul Winteler.)[10] In Aarau, Albert studied Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. In 1896, he graduated at age 17, renounced his German citizenship to avoid military service (with his father's approval), and finally enrolled in the mathematics program at ETH. On February 21, 1901, he gained Swiss citizenship, which he never revoked.[11] Marie moved to Olsberg, Switzerland for a teaching post.

If a mod wants he can close this now, since it's only going to lead to more flaming and offtopic debates, feel free to resume your arguements over PM's or something if you find it useful, i would rather the thread die with dignity before it goes too off topic and leads to me reading through way too much crap. Mods choice though.


Don't let this thread die. Use it as a way to inform us how you are holding up, to get motivation and encouragement from other people. Maybe your mom really does not care for you (I don't know it but I doubt it), but a lot of people obviously did in this thread.

Make it a habit to post in here for like at least once a week. This seems like a very small feat but if you are having trouble to do your homework regularly, it might be the start of real discipline you are lacking.

Good luck.

I'm working on getting a masters in education at the moment, and I can tell you there's no direct correlation between your GPA, your test scores, and your intelligence (in any combination).


That cannot be true. IQ (if that's what you mean by the word "intelligence") would have little meaning if it correlated with nothing. In fact I don't believe it measures anything 'real' as much as some poorly defined characteristic that you somewhat isolate because you can correlate it with a number of things. Of two people identical in all respects but IQ the one with the higher IQ would have the higher GPA unless the threshold for a perfect GPA is really low. I have to appear as an asshole to convey how it is. To have a .5 GPA... well, that's really amazingly bad.


Late reply but again... there's no DIRECT correlation. There are people who do horribly on tests like IQ tests who end up running entire companies, and well. If someone gets a lower score on an IQ test, they could still have more motivation, or be a harder worker, and get a better GPA. Heck, they may have had a flu the day of the test and it came out 15 points lower because they were feeling off.

Not to mention the fact that the supreme court has ruled that those tests are culturally and linguistically biased. This means that someone that has just immigrated from Mexico, even if they have spent some years learning English, will naturally do worse on an IQ test. Translation doesn't help remove the bias, btw. Also, someone who grew up speaking English in, say, South Africa, who has a completely different cultural context, will also do much poorer on an IQ test. Does that mean that the South African and the Mexican are dumber? Of course not. Does that mean they will get a lower GPA. No, it doesn't.

^ Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

1. Of course there is a correlation between IQ and GPA. That doesn't mean IQ causally determines GPA.

2. The Supreme Court has ruled that IQ tests are culturally biased? I must have missed that one. In the meantime, has the Supreme Court also ruled that the Theory of Relativity is wrong and to be discarded?

3. Mexicans and Blacks DO score lower on IQ tests on average (regardless of native language or place of birth), and they DO have lower GPAs on average.

I didn't read this thread, so I'm sure someone else had said this, but here it is, I'm in a bad mood, and I might as well just tell you:

YOU ARE NOT SMART. MY MOTHER AND BROTHER ARE TEACHERS. THE TEACHER IS TRYING TO GET YOU MOTIVATED BY GIVING YOU SELF-CONFIDENCE. MY MOM HAS USED THE SAME SCHTICK HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE

Have a nice day, retard.

Harsh but true, when I was failing all my classes I got a whole speech from my teachers saying how I was so "bright and smart" and how if I just focused I could be amazing blah blah

Sorry, accounting is easy. You can't argue that point against any science or engineering student


not sure if u were relating this to my post pre-edit, but...
i won't go into any depth as it's a complete derailment, but currently, my accounting courses (im 2nd yr) are far harder than any ezpz math/science/cs courses im also taking at uwloo, where accounting isn't even supposed to be hard, and cs is supposed to be good.

Who cares if you are told you have a genius IQ. If you have a 0.5 GPA, you can't go anywhere.

go join the army! seriously, a lot of people that have bad grades is not because they are stupid, it because they lack basic self discipline and there is no other place than can teach u discipline better than the military. Plus, after u finish with the army they'll pay for all ur college expenses so i think this is something u should look into.

I'm closing this thread. I think we pretty much covered it all and the threads' quality is dropping rapidly.

As requested, it would be nice to keep us somewhat updated on your progress.

Good luck.
