The question is just stupid. Assuming you avoided the autoimmune disease from hell thing and SOMEHOW continued living, you wouldn't turn into a chimp. Genes are activated and deactivated in specific sequences throughout development to produce the final body form of multicellular organisms and to carry out regular metabolic functions. The interplay between genes in genome and between the genome and body AND between the genome and environment are MUCH more complicated than any hollywood movie would have you believe (and beyond my scope of knowledge; I'm an ecologyfag).

>Your Age:
22
>Your prospective/current major or degree:
B.S. Biology (Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior)
MAY end up with a B.S. Biology (Computational Biology) if I choose to hang out as an undergrad for another year and pick up 3 more math courses (I fear not math despite the fact that I'm a biologist).
>Your College (If you went/are going to college):
University of Texas @ Austin
>Your opinion on the following carreers:
>Civil Engineering
Boring, but useful.
>Architecture
AWESOME! I like artistic things, and artistic things that also have to be functional are the best kind.
>Computer Science
I LOVE IT! Probably would have been my second choice as a major. CROSSOVER: Shannon entropy in information theory == Shannon index of biodiversity in Ecology
>Mechanical Engineering
My dad's field. Do not want, but respect.
>Economics
Like ecology, but they pretend there aren't any limits and they're too caught up in pushing their own views to get anything done. I still respect them.
>Business
The people who stare at me when I walk into THEIR building with dirty cargo pants? I <span class="math">loath[/spoiler] them.
>Psychology
Can be cool. I like the fact that modern psychologists rage as hard as I do when Freudianism comes up in conversations AND some take an evolutionary perspective (though, sometimes they overstep and try to use evolution to explain something that would be more easily explained as a societal thing)
>Philosophy
Fun. I get to learn the names for ways I've been thinking for years.
>Chemistry
Cool, but it's my least favorite of the 3 'big' science categories
>Physics
Fuckin' awesome. Third choice after Ecology and Computer Science.

It's not like I'm going on some acid trippin', desert wanderin' vacation. I'm going to go get a job. I'll probably look into something with Parks and Wildlife (Ecology major, so it fits).

Dude, what the fuck?
A 4.3 scale?

I have no idea. I guess you would just treat all of your A+ grades as 4.0 instead of 4.3 and then recalculate it.

...I kinda wish my school had an A+; that would help me. We have +/- but there's no A+.

Glad there's research proving what anyone who grew up in that system has known all along.
