That’s a great way to phrase it.
- jfk13 8y agos/adverse/averse/ would make it even greater.
- elcritch 8y agoTrue, that is a bit better phrasing. I mentally inserted that interpretation when I read it. Personally I wouldn't hold it against someone if they carried a 4.0, however, I would inquire more as to whether they pursued their studies out of interest, what trade-offs they may have made, and so on as to understand their work mentality.
