Don't even think of lying on your MBA application...

Or your MBA degree might just be taken away from you when you think you're this big and successful hotshot.

Don't be like this guy:
Stanford Takes Away an MBA Degree

Re that guy: changing grades on his law school transcript to make his parents happy? Really?! Give me a break. Begs the question of whether more stringent grading in American schools should be practiced so that students really put in the hard work of earning their grades, don't get misplaced confidence due to over-inflated A's and A-'s, and be used to the idea that not getting A's and A-'s is okay.

I tell you, it's too easy to get an A in the US educational system that grades don't really serve as a benchmark of academic performance anymore. A B in the MBA program is already something to be ashamed of. And that's, what, a 3 on a 4-point scale (which, on the Philippine university scale, is an 80 out of 100)? Whatever happened to C's, D's and F's?

Hah. Just wanted to say that first-year MBA students are intense when it comes to grades. Especially in the first semester of the program.
