>loan
I already have some federal student loans, but I can never get approved for enough to pay for the full year.

>>29140445
I did that's how I found out. To become eligible again I would need to replace some old classes that I failed before I changed majors, but since I can't get any aid I can't actually afford to take them, and I failed them the first time for a reason I doubt I could pass them now.

I don't even go to class. For the past two months I have been going to the local market, watching homeless people fight. I always try to hold my laughter when I get back home and my parents ask me how was school. They have no idea I'm hanging out with homeless people for 6 hours.

I managed to finish my dissertation (computer science) in 3 days after I'd given up all hope, because I chose to do something that I thought was a tad too difficult. Then I met one of my friends who was facing worse odds than me, but he was optimistic and that gave me the drive I needed to finish the fucker. I may only have got 6 hours sleep over those 3 days, but it all paid off as I got a first for it. Come on man, stock up on coffee and don't concentrate on anything else until it's finished. You'll thank yourself later.

Seriously dude don't listen to these shit stains. They'll probably end up with a 2.2 or some shit, not sure how it works in US.

The people who say it's a priority to network only say that because it's a priority for them

Berkeley OP here. If you fucks on here are hating on my 2.5 GPA after two years in one of the most rigorous Biology Undergrad Programs in the U.S, let it be known to you that the average Biology GPA is a 2.8.

Source: http://projects.dailycal.org/grades/

Berkeley doesn't hand out 50% A's for it's students like Harvard or Brown either. It's not uncommon to hear about low GPA's here. Read up on Grade Deflation at UC Berkeley:

http://www.dailycal.org/2015/05/15/grade-deflation/

Some of you on here are so fucking negative. I hope you have the balls to stop projecting your own insecurities by telling others to drop out. Feel free to live as a NEET living in your mother's basement after you drop out of Podunk University ranked #527 on US News and World Report.

I will be graduating from an Elite School in STEM.

You clearly aren't.
