WOW pretty impressive by any standards. Continue to work hard ladies and the world will be open with lots of opportunities. WE ARE PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!

Now that is something to be proud of!!!

How nice it's got to be being beautiful, smart, and athletic and talented, congratulations are earned by all of you!

It still looks funny to have a gpa over 4 to me. I think UNM started that the year I graduated. A+'s used to be counted the same as an A. Over 4 just kind leaves me in awe because of that I guess.

Nice to see the ladies doing so well. We have such a great group of kids that we can, and should all be proud of! Way to go ladies.

I wouldn't know, but you could ask Roob. I think he had a 4.14 GPA.

Or was it 3.14? Or 3.14159265?

No... wait. That's pi.



Nevermind...

I'd like a piece of Pie please, but just 1, not 3.14 pieces.

I wondered about those GPA's also. I didn't know it was possible to get over a 4.0.

I don't know if it's the case at UNM but some schools offer a "5" for certain courses due to their complexity, vigor and academic standard necessary to get an "A." None the less, be proud......be VERY PROUD!!!!


GO LOBOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, they just average their looks in with their grades, and .....

Seriously, they changed the policy to include A+'s several years ago. An A+ counts as a 4.33, so it is now possible to graduate with better than a 4.0.

Dang, when I went to school the grading system was 1,2,3,4,5. 1 was excellent and 5 was failing. So the lower the summed numbers the higher your GPA. How times have changed.

Were charcoal and slate your tools in the classroom??? :Afun) j/k


GO LOBOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tijerasfan]

What Classroom?

[loboray]

I always rounded Pi to 3.1416, but Bloo takes it much further. Impressive. Bet he can do Pi R squared. Oh, no, Pie are round.


:Afun):Afun):Afun)

3.1416 is better than in Kansas where it was legislated that Pi = 22/7

Not sure I'd like to be in a building constructed to legal redefinitions of mathematics.

Consensus science. The next best thing to come from politicians.

Let's get back to academic excellence. So far, none of you have noted the obvious, that guards (especially point guards) are the brains of a basketball team.

[Lobodawg92]

Are you suggesting that our posts become Kansas Legislators? ;-)

[loboray]

Oh my Gosh!!! That is way too funny Dawg.

I first ran into this problem when I was a graduate assisstant teaching "Math for the Non-Math-Majors" in New England. I graded one person wrong for using 22/7 for Pi. She was quite upset, saying that's what they were taught and I must be wrong--she even showed me her HS textbook!

I was such an innocent, unworldly person at that time, and had never been in the enlightened reaches of Kansas.
