re: Do y'all know what "mediocre" actually means?

For example, the law student at Harvard who finishes ranked 75 out of 150 in his class is by definition AVERAGE. Now the Harvard graduate may have better grades and may be subjectively "smarter" than the kid who graduated 40 out of 150 at LSU's Law Center, but that kid is still AVERAGE when comparing him to his PEERS. Same goes with LSU football. The SEC teams are LSU's peers and LSU is average in comparison.

Let me take this analogy a step further.

A C student out of high school attending Nichols State will rejoice over his 3.0 average his first semester of college.

I was in a graduate program where a 2.9 GPA or less--and you were kicked out of the program.

You cannot compare the two students, yet the OP insists that the guy getting kicked out of grad school is an academic powerhouse because he has the same gpa as an undergrad at an admit-all college.

So we should be thrilled that LSU is better than Arkansas State.
