Grades ? There must be others on this board that managed to get through NU , without being up to "NU standards".
I took a lot of courses that had no relationship to my major that were fun and interesting-astronomy, Latin, Art History etc
You can get through NU if you want to.
Latin with Grundy Steiner was a fantastic experience. Where could 18-19 year old guys read myths and fables, 3 times a week. The class was filled with every Catholic athlete,. who knew that if you wore your letter jacket, you were in good standing with Prof. Steiner
NU should get off its high horse and give opportunities to individuals with special skills. These kids can do more for their communities and families than some nerd looking for a "prestigious degree"
