I looked up this guy and I definitely do not want to be like him. Thanks for sharing, I will keep this in mind not to make it a habit.How bad would it look you ask? It "appears" that you would be sand bagging your GPA. Fat Leonard was a sand bagger and he took down a lot of decent performing Officers with him. It's a decision disease that spreads quickly. Sandbagging always ends up the same way eventually. No Bueno.
Luckily, I talked to my adviser the other day. He says that based on my circumstances, I should submit an appeal to change the F's I had to W's. He says hes positive it will get accepted. That should give me the boost I need on the GPA. Here's hoping.
