4. What's the modern equivalent

of a CEED? With that score, it seems he'd have a hard time getting into barber school.

edited for punctuation.

6. There are serious problems with this transcript.

I was an undergrad at TCU shortly after W 'graduated' from Yale. Back then (in private schools), to get a liberal arts degree (History,etc.) you had to have a minimum of 4 semesters of English, Math, and at least 2 of Science and 2 of a Foreign language. You also had to have a B ave in your major to graduate. And you had to have 4 semesters of PE and 4 semesters of elective classes.
Plus, 94% was the lowest A; 86% was the lowest B; 80% was the lowest C; and 75% was the lowest D.
This transcript is an insult to all of us who worked so hard in college.

7. So help us non-Yalies out...

What is he missing, besides the B average.

10. The Gentleman's C era in the Ivies

I honestly can't make out heads or tails on this transcript. It looks like he got mainly Cs. With grade inflation, he'd be about a B/B- student in the Ivies today, I would guess.

My Princeton transcript is difficult to figure out too, because we don't do "credit hours" like other universities. Every class is a credit, whether it is English 101 or a 500-level Physics clas. You have to have a certain number of credits in different areas, in your major, and across the board. You also need to pass your Independent Study Projects, your thesis, and your Departmentals.

8. And Don't Forget, That He Was In The Ivy League. . .

. . .during the period of rampant legacy grade inflation! They reformed the whole grading system in the early 70's (just prior to when i was in college) because of the poor reputation some of these "prestigious" schools were getting.

The legacies get grades inflated, so at some point, professors started worrying about low grading too many who weren't deserving of poor marks. So, everyone gets inflated. IIRC, during the early 70's several of the biggest Ivy schools began experimenting with numbered quizzes (no names) or with skewed distribution curves.

Not 100% of the years in question, but it was the talk amongst those of us who went to private schools, but didn't go Ivy League. I think it made us feel better about our decisions (or lack of decision) about which school we attended.

9. It would be interesting

to see comparative transcripts for all the other presidential candidates. Any way you can do that?
