Is anyone else sick of the word 'stellar'?

[Spitting Camel]

Why is that the ONLY word people use to describe GPAs, MCAT scores, and anything else that pertains to medical school applications? I hate it!! I even read it in an article today! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

You're right, there's really a plethora of other terms people could use.

That's another one I'm getting sick of.

What words do you suggest to describe such things.

3.0 sucks, 3.2 low , 3.4 ok, 3.6 good, 3.8 very good, 3.9 awsome, 3.98 supercalifragilistic expialidocious?


(waits for GoodMonkey to spell that right...)

how about stoked?

My gpa is stoked. Or, my gpa is luke (as in warm). My gpa is "nuculer"

Don't worry, I would NEVER use the word "stellar" to describe my gpa. For that matter, neither would anyone else! Just doing my part.

my curriculum is "heavenly".

Yes I'd much rather know percentiles, means, standard deviations, and credit hours per semester.
