Joke that you're a slow reader then tell them that you were having financial difficulties so you could only afford to take so many classes per semester. Otherwise just write down your graduation year and let them assume you did it in 4 and are younger than you actually are. After a certain amount of time, though, you can just drop your graduation year entirely. Technically you should also drop your GPA after your first real job or two, but I had better than a 3.9 GPA and I like potential employers to know that. I didn't finish college, but i'm still pissed I had a 4.0 for a good while until this one teacher came along and I had him for 3 classes in the same semester. dropped it to a 3.7 I think. he was bad about assigning lengthy essays or whatever in each of his classes, at the same time despite knowing most of his students had him for all 3 of those classes at the same time. I guess because he held two jobs (teacher by day police captain by night) he thought everyone should have no life. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
