    That sounds smart. Though I'd be screwed in that system either way. I got very low grades, and my ACT was only a few points above average (putting me at about the 70th percentile), I blame my low score in math on stress though, I only ever completed about 70% of the questions because I panicked and stopped trying.

    As if I didn't already have a headache, Fling. I think if I was ever to watch any sport other than a few games of esports, it would likely be UFC, just for the pure brutality.

    Our system is basically based on meritocracy

    You put in the time, effort, and show your knowledge: you do better in school/uni/life.

    Grievous bodily harm is my first guess

    I actually like the sport. Despite all the injuries, but on the long term they aren't that many actually. You can get just as injured from football/soccer, damaged legs that never heal for instance.

    I would be able to watch MMA with interest, if I ever catched it online while I'm awake/available.
    Yeah, meet my knee :S Though it *may* heal eventually, I never went to a doctor with it... Been 2 years though. Meh. Gonna sleep in a min, night guys!

    What if a hypothetical student got very bad grades (say, 40th percentile), yet got at least in the 95th percentile for class specific tests? How would this hypothetical student fair in attempting to apply to university?

    Didn't realise it was specific to the UK. Basically, savage/brutal beatings and the like. What I've seen via them GIF's and stuff is just.. barbaric and animalistic. Sorry if you're into it, it's just the way that it has come across to me. Seeing someone get their face thumped endlessly with fists isn't entertaining. To me, at least.

    I'd give you an inch, you'd take me a mile, your tail wagging happily all the while.
