Then let's just chalk it up to the fact that Internet communication can be misleading...

If it's not meant to be helpful, then why should I cooperate? (Of course, I realize that maybe it was meant to be helpful and I am misinterpreting him/her...)

I'm not a physics major. I'm a philosophy major studying logic and have only read about quantum physics in my spare time. That's why I wondered... Is that okay with you? Is it the lack of face-to-face communication and therefore I'm misinterpreting you, or is it for some strange reason a...

onsider the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_explosion Now, consider Schrodinger's Cat. Does this not imply the following statements? - A) The cat is alive before the box is opened. - B) The cat is not alive before the box is opened. Aren't both of these statements...

What shocks me is that you can't be objective about this. Why is that so hard for you?

If I could prove it, I could complain to an authority. I could also change schools. It gives me several options that go beyond those I currently have...

You can't assume that. Maybe the As and Bs weren't given out fairly. How could you assume that they were to the point of pointing the finger at me?

Is that what I came here asking for? For you to solve the problem? Or did I come here asking for an objective explanation as to what might be going wrong and a guess at the probability of the grades being as bad as they are by chance? Did I get that or something judgmental that wasn't...

That assumes that the grades were fair. Am I assuming that? Can we safely assume that? Why? Are you that unimaginative that it is impossible to believe that some as-of-yet-unknown school could have unfair standards, and so it has to be me who is at fault?

Tell me, since you insist on it: what have you noticed about my study habits that tell you that? What about the school, why are they in the free and clear, based on what you've thoroughly investigated about this situation? What solid evidence has lead you to that conclusion? And if you don't...

What would you think, with your GPA, if it wasn't one B, but a number of Cs and Ds, one right after another for several semesters in a row? Because that is my situation. Grades can sometimes be inconsistent, and that was the case for myself in the past, but for things to go this wrong this...

What I notice here is you specifically select the low grades as of late as being indicative of the situation, but the 50 or 60 high grades I got before in all sorts of areas are just casually omitted. Explain to me why the latest grades which I've been hit over the head with indicate something...

In the first two economics courses, I was expecting something more analytical, and I got a test of rote memorization (one case a very strict example of it), so, because I'm not good at memorization, my grades were C's (and things also seemed to be somewhat harder than they were in my previous...

That is a valid point, and is originally what I thought was wrong. However, three of my last five grades in philosophy have been low, two of which were with the same professors as before, and this has left me stumped. I wonder if the situation is something like this: admissions averages have...
