[quote=Anonymous]These "My _________ had a 2.0 but went to the Ivy league, became President of the US, etc" responses reminds me of those using Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg as examples of how someone can be a college dropout yet still be successful. Frankly, I find it laughable. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

The reality is that the VAST MAJORITY of dropouts don't A)come from their backgrounds (they would be fine b/c of the family's wealth) and B)do NOT achieve anywhere near their levels of success. The VAST MAJORITY of school dropouts spend the rest of their lives in near-poverty regretting their decisions.

That said, were your Ivy league, CEO, super successful hubbies and brothers a Stanford graduate part of the time (in their own heads)? It sounds like OP has serious mental issues and anxiety that must be tended to before he takes on the additional stress of school.

Either way, OP's received good advice on both sides. It's up to him to weigh things, realizing none of us know his full story.

Best of luck OP. Due to your self-awareness and ability to function despite your illness and stresses of college, I am certain you will do well in life whatever you choose.[/quote]
