[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many 5th and 6th year students are walking around Georgetown and Penn any given semester? Can't be more than a couple hundred.[/quote]

A couple hundred isn’t nothing. [/quote]

Well, it makes it abnormal and if you had/have a social life and friends, it's obviously not going to go unnoticed. These are elite schools full of aggressive strivers. Your classmates are off to medical school, law school, and in six-figure careers, while you're still chipping away at the bachelor's like a kid.[/quote]

He might not be moving at the same pace as those kids he will probably never see again? Oh darn.

Five years from now, who will even know, let alone care, who graduated on time and who didn't? Nobody.[/quote]

Please don't twist what I wrote. I didn't say this is a reason not to finish or this would be long-lasting. I just understand the dread and embarrassing feelings. If the degree could be finished in remote online classes, far less dread and embarrassment.[/quote]
