Did Albert Einstein really fail, or almost fail in school?

Brainyblonde

There is a recurring rumor that he failed math later on in his education, but this is not true; it was caused by a change in the way grades were assigned leading to confusion years later. In 1895, Einstein took an exam for the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (Federal Swiss Polytechnic University, in Zurich), but failed the liberal arts portion of the test. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#Early_years He also suffered from dyslexia.

He obtained his doctorate after submitting his thesis "On a new determination of molecular dimensions" in 1905. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein Apr 17 04, 3:58 PM
