[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never claimed Georgetown was morally great. I’m just saying there aren’t decades of Georgetown graduates with diplomas that are illiterate.  All I am saying is that UNC is not very good academically. [/quote]

No one who gets into UNC is illiterate, apart from a handful of athletes possibly. You realize even if you took the phony classes, you still need to get in, right? College isn't for teaching you to read.[/quote]

UNC is a joke to get into from in state. It's the nearly impossible standards for OOS applicants that drive the school's test score midranges up and its acceptance rate down. It's not like UF or UVA where tons of highly accomplished in state residents get rejected or waitlisted every year.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're replying to. I grew up in NC (I didn't go to UNC, although I did get in). It's an easier school to get into in-state for sure, but every one of my classmates who went to Chapel Hill was literate and most were very bright (I mean if the threshold is actually literacy every person I knew who went to ECU was literate too). The middle 50% of SAT scores from in-state acceptances are still 1310-1500. That's not Duke, but it's pretty comparable to UVA and not at all a "joke." It's a good school with bright students, even if Sean May didn't get an education.[/quote]

Yeah… except the problem isn’t that Sean May didn’t get an education. The problem is decades of Sean Mays got a diploma without any education for decades. So you’re anecdotal “bright” classmates were probably smarter before they went to UNC and dumber when they got out. The reason for this is that the school is dishonest, lazy and not too bright at administration.[/quote]

NP in this convo.
I’m sorry life is such a zero sum game for you that you have to crap on the legitimacy of ALL UNC grads to feel better about your Georgetown degree.

Even the UNC PPs aren’t disputing that SOME athletes who passed their classes are possibly morons. We know. Doesn’t change the fact that academically it’s a good school.
