If you're not getting 8 hours of sleep every day and at least a 3.5 GPA, you're studying inefficiently.

No source but I think that required sleep varies from person to person and that the 8-hour thing is bullshit. Then again you had no source for your statement either so I could you go:

>Increased Death Rate Associated
With Sleeping 8 Hours or More
>Although it’s a common belief that 8 hours of sleep is required for optimal health, a six-year study of more than one million adults ages 30 to 102 has shown that people who get only 6 to 7 hours a night have a lower death rate. Individuals who sleep 8 hours or more, or less than 4 hours a night, were shown to have a significantly increased death rate compared to those who averaged 6 to 7 hours.

Unless you're going for a master's, there is really no reason to bust your ass for anything other than a 3.2. If you can go higher without giving yourself an ulcer, great. If you're up nights trying to keep a 4.0, relax.

(If you ARE trying for a master's, though, you're going to need that 4.0, and internships, and extracurriculars, and volunteer experience, and a backup plan, because you probably still aren't going to get in.)

>> No.5215991

But I never study until the night before the test, so that sure as hell isn't a factor in my grades

Why does an object that falls off of a vehicle in motion travel backwards? If the vehicle's inertia is going forwards, and an object falls off, shouldn't it travel forward?

Example: a piece of luggage falls off a car traveling 70 km/h and the luggage travels backwards as it hits the street and bounces up multiple times.

I sleep about 5 hours and 10 hours on Sundays. I have a 4.0, but I spend a lot more time doing things related to the three clubs that I'm on the executive board of than studying. I study a fair amount too, though.

And when markets are open, I'm on them Fidelities.

it only looks like it travels backwards from the vehicle because it looses so much energy and slows very fast. Same concept at sky diving and one person pulls their shoot, it looks like it pulls them up when in reality they have just slowed very quickly while you race by them.
