Mail Call

Dear Mr. Soller:

Un-fucking-believable Congratulations! A review of your grades indicates that you are not as stupid as once thought you have achieved a grade point average of 2.000 or greater if not for our grading policy, it wouldn't be that hard to "achieve" in the Spring 2005 semester. I am very surprised pleased to inform you that we will be collecting even more money from you are no longer on our shit list academic probation and are now going to be in deeper debt in good academic standing.

You should thank your lucky ass be very proud of those who fell to the misfortune of illogical grading of the hard work and effort that has trapped brought you to this point. I encourage you to continue good practices such as regular flossing class attendance, thorough preparation, and avoidance of excessive alcohol consumption outside work so that you remain on your current path to mediocrity favorable path.

Please accept my very best wishes for your continued academic luck sucess.

Very truly yours,
Jane Powell
Assistant Dean/Dean of Students

Is it weird that they congratulate you for not failing out. I never have gotten a letter saying congrats for never being on probation. Maybe this is part of the problem at our fine school. Anyway, congrats on coming back, one more year of this hell, then again should putting yourself through one more year of this really be something to be congratulated?

I believe the "congratulations" you receive for never being on probation is the comfort from never having to get off of probation.

This is a classic example of laughing at the most inappropriate time.

The first sentence still cracks me up even after reading it 5x.

BTW, congrats! FYI Southwestern placed me on waitlist, so as far as I know it's not that easy to make it in and survive.

Congrats. I didn't know they sent out letters like this. No wonder it took Powell's office so long last year to do letters of good standing for those of us applying to transfer. I'm guessing its a bigger priority to let people know they're still in, than helping other people get out.

Congrats, Wayne! Work your ass off in the third year, but start preparing for the bar NOW... get the pmbr and bar-bri books and sweat out those MCs... also, go to cal-bar site and download their past essays (and performance exams) with answers. I'm sure you are an exception, but SWU statistics show that the bar pass rate for those formerly on AP is less than 25 pct...and bar pass rate for the bottom quartile of an SWU class is about 12 pct.

A word to those waiting to enter the hallowed halls of SWU...this place is proof that evolution works... only the strong survive... 2.3 gpa median in classes with more than 30 students places approx 25 pct of each class on AP... Note that the recent change to assist the law review students -- give more A's in each class -- works to the disadvantage of the bottom of the class... more D's and such are awarded to maintain that 2.3 ...
