such a waste of talent

the skill he just showed proves he could of did well without cheating
don`t get me wrong he still should see time.
but he may get a job after he finish
I very much doubt he`ll serve the full sentence.
I know a guy name leslie pitt
he scammed banks out of hundreds of thousands of dollars
and after he got out of prison he`s got hired to be a business consultant .
while getting charge businesses kept saying he`s talented enough to not to do this.

I predict that he will only get a suspended sentence. I doubt that he will actually do jail time.

I don't think hacking into the computer reveals the same sort of talent and dedication getting good grades requires.
Perhaps he might have gotten straight A's, but I tend to doubt this.
Essentially, he is lazy at least.

I`m not saying he would be a great student,but talented enough to not get f`s at least.
the problem is he`s just a know nothing kid.
meaning he gave himself straight A`s when he had super crappy grads.
and this is got noticed by his instructors.
I`m pretty sure teachers remember thier failing students and would pickup when they see A`s next to thier names.

what I want to know is could he of gotten to college with those grades?
doesn`t he need SAT scores also?

I kinda doubt he would of finished college anyway

at the very least he`ll get a job at geek squad if he can be trusted no to copy customers hard drives

We had a major scandal over grade changes of this sort at my university about five years ago. The guilty parties were in the Registrar's Office, and would change grades for a fee of several hundred to over a thousand dollars. All of them were fined and received prison sentences, which was what they deserved. Two of the three involved were graduates of the same university.

Strangely, the guy they called the ringleader changed his grade in my Spanish class from a D to a B+ rather than an A. I guess he was not that confident that he could be taken seriously with an A.
