If you sleep with the "proffesoers" is it easy to graduate with a cum laude?

Boston university is a difficult school to get in and equally rigorous academically. It isn't on par with most neighboring institutions of higher learning (Harvard, MIT, Tufts), but it equal to, if not better than the overpriced Boston College and is as good as just about any other private institution in the country.

I lived in Brookline right behind BU and yes when you fuck them the girls cum loud.
It's the region' s party school.
NOTE that AOC wanted to do science but wasn't up to it.
She flopped as soon as she got into college, and quickly
moved onto soft subjects of economics. Which she alsp
obviously didn't understand.
She graduated with (only) Bachelor of Arts degree, a double-major in International Relations and Economics. (Apparently that means her degree was in "Believing in Communism and Hating White People".) No thesis is mentioned; most schools don't require a thesis for a mere BA. Just a "BA" in a soft bullshit topic from a party school. After failing out there in her chosen field and life's aspirations. Not even a Masters. OK, I'm not impressed.
She did write that one paper in high school, where she dosed worms
with antioxidants and claimed it extended their lives.
That was a trendy pseudo-scientific idea at the time.
Her research has since been debunked by actual scientists.
E.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19350411
and https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsbl.2013.0432
Those are published peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Her research was a high school science project that was never published.
At least, I can't find it or any reference to it anywhere.
Just the photo of her poster board.
(High schoolers do publish for real, but apparently not this time.)
Maybe she used a protocol that seemed plausible but faked the data.
Oe maybe the conclusions were obviously wrong but it was an "E" for effort
You know, the "hey, not bad for a teenage minority girl" kind of deal.
Anyway, the Intel (computer chip company) Science Fair gave her an award.
Her "research" was never used by anyone nor heard of ever again.
If it was "real", what happened? Don't say it was suppressed, because it
was evil old white men who gave her the nice prize.
She still tweets about her research claims and seems unaware it was B.S.
e.g. 5 months ago https://qz.com/1481551/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-won-a-2007-isef-science-fair-prize-for-her-microbiology-research/
Funny nerd trivia: "AOC" stands for AntiOxidant Capacity!

While the people (ahem) at those "other schools" indeed look down no
BU as a party school, and it's not considered in the same universe
as MIT or Harvard (or even Tufts), it's not totally lame.
It might be ridiculous in terms of an undergraduate degree.
But I did take one science graduate course there and those
particular students in the class were very impressive.
Which explains why AOC couldn't even cut it in the baby classes there.

What are you, the leader of the Spell Check Party?
Or are you "autistic" like Meade?
Have you had your Cymbalta today?
Why so anonymous?

OK, you're a "stupid fucking trumptard" who is only capable
of pasting that phrase over and over again. You're acknowledged now.
Feel better?
Your kind will be wiped from the earth.
Because only evil white men will have the cure to the virus.
Get Ready.

I just have a better vision of the future,
and I like to remind myself you won't be in it.
Triggered is when someone posts "trumptard" over and over again.
But as I speculated, you're not really triggered.
You're just retarded, and that's all you can do.
But now mainly I'm bored.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BU is a shitty second-tier school, totally middling: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/boston-university-2130
42, which might as well be 102; anything over 30 is meaningless.
