I would have given her extra credit.
Just sad.
3.5 is pretty good but, doing a double gainer over it is just out there....
Like they say, “Penn S*cks.”
She had standards. If one wants no standards, check out John (gigolo) Kerry’s or AlBearManPig’s grades.
I morn the passing of a talented young woman.
But don’t worry, we still have Hillary and Michelle.
If she did have a boyfriend or drug issues, "a friend of her father" wouldn't have known about it.
Poor girl, look at those bags under her eyes.
Horrors !!! A 3.5 GPA !!!
Probably went to a HS where they inflate the grades - thereby inflating her opinion of herself ...
Stressed out over a 3.5 gpa? 1st semester?
I would have thrown a party!
You go back and try harder you might improve. You jump off a build, then no so much.......
I think I graduated with a 2.1. She might have been stressed about grades but there was something else causing that.
Well, that explains a lot. There's enough in those three subjects to make ANYone suicidal.
Seriously, though, what a waste. Prayers for her family.
Such a waste-—girl needed some hamburger therapy as she was skinny minnie. Why die over lieberal college grades?
A very sad ending to such a short life.
From her picture I can tell she was a distance runner.
All good sprinters have large powerful thighs.
Besides parental pressure to "succeed," there is also the myth of the importance of getting into a "good college," which is perpetuated by teachers. I think the threat of not getting into a "good school" is a crutch that teachers use to keep students in line. Unfortunately, I don't think they realize how much impact that can have on a young person.

different article she was doing therapy
This poor kid. Young and a crisis state that if had been somehow interrupted she surely would’ve been able to get help and move on.
So sad.
The Ivy League is a club, the members don’t care what your GPA is. Getting in is the trick.
Hello, parents?
She told her parents she had suicidal thoughts in Dec.They wanted her to transfer.My daughter’s friend who was in nursing class with her was afraid to show her parents bad marks.She took a bottle of pills-went to sleep and never woke up.It is unusual for woman to jump.
Parking lot at 15 and spruce. right behind the kimmel center. I was kinda curious because i live here a work a few block away. and my doc is at Penn.
Prayers up for her parents. Horrible.
Stunning girl. What a horrible waste. RIP. :-((
