When I was at university and before that at sixth form college a few of the
lecturers were concerned but they got passed it and I did well.

Agreed, but considering I had a 3.8 GPA and he was the Chair I didn't know
what else to do. My advisor Dr. Stern tried to go to bat for me but she got
removed from all her committees and relegated to survey courses for her
trouble. :P
I was just curious if this was unique or other had similar issues. Sounds
like you had something similar, and I'm glad you were able to work around
it... ;)
