Yea, if Cassie was a B student she would not be becoming a vet. Its harder to become a vet than it is a doctor.

lol ikrite?

Then again, she would have had some awesome recommendations...n ever underestimate the power of nepotism.

I believe you're right about Jake. He does devote his entire being to the war, perhaps even moreso than Rachel. Tobias does it because that is the only thing going for him. The war, and his very small group of friends.

She could know a lot about animals but be mediocre everywhere else. Marco and Rachel are the AP Scholars but Cassie's probably the type that wins the "Citizenship Award."

I picture Jake as being really typical and I think that's why his transition into the boy Eisenhower is so powerful. He gets decent grades, aims to go to a decent college (not super-competitive, but still good), and is one of those guys that everyone likes. I picture Tom as being more of the uber-jock (it was said that he was a former basketball star) but in less of the stereotypical **** kind of way. Catch my drift?

my parents talk ideas at dinner: politics, science, history, psychology (any subject and they know it) without that intellectual element their marraige wouldn't be able to survive their otherwise volatile personalities, if one was less intelligent then they would become bored with the other... the smarter you are the more important intellect in other people becomes, it probably doesn't matter for the average, but for a genius (like the genius of a man who discovers Z space) it would be essential, you know how bad it is being stuck on a bus next to someone who is a sandwhich short? now imagine being married to that person.
I always imagine Jake becoming a doctor... until the war he was basically a very nice guy who would make a great doctor if his grades improved.

Jake wanted more of a novelty career, if I'm not mistaken. I remember reading how he wanted to do something military-related from the get-go, and a very "old Jake" thing to do would want to be a pilot or be the captain of an aircraft carrier or something.
I also recall at one point he did want to be an MD, but of course a lot of his dreams became short-lived because of the war.

Marco was the procrastinator but certainly wasn't just an "average" student - he was probably just lazy.
