this is so sad.

i had a 3.72 (on a 4.0 scale) in HS and my GPA in college is... a lot lower T_T

inorite? I had a 3.98 on a 4.0 scale and my gpa is pretty bad low too. ^^;;

yeah you guy's have pretty low GPA's assuming we're going by the ASIANscale. In which case I would be failing.

GTFO, youz aint in collegio yet, mang.

jk. Dude, my college GPA went down more than a quarter of my high school gpa. It's supposed to rise by the end of this quarter.

Only Asians would pair the wif "GPA."

I don't know my GPA because my English teacher doesn't post grades online. The grading system works differently, too, so it's not as easy for me to figure out.

Well I used to get straight A's in high school, I think my core average was 95.75%, and my total average was like 93%?

Yeah, it's pretty sad that when you get to college, you begin to consider 80% as AWESOME, and 70% as totally satisfactory. If I had gotten 70% in hs I would've cried.

My GPA is sad. I miss weighted grades.

If I got lower than a A- during sophomore-senior years, I'd cry. My unweighted gpa was 3.98/4.0, but A-'s = A's = A+'s on gpas, so yea that's why mine was so high. AUGH I wish I had that GPA in college!

i aint even gonna lie. High school = 4.00, now its 2.6 lol shittt

I graduated HS with a 3.821 or some shit like that. I graduated college with a 3.619 or something like that. And that qualified me for cum laude. Yay?

Can their be multiple cum lade?

Um, kinda? There are three different levels, cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude, equivalent with different GPAs. I think cum laude was equivalent with a 3.6 at NYU.

Edit: Good thing I graduated when I did, NYU's latin honor policy changed this year. Now you have to have a 3.65 to graduate with cum laude.

Yeah...I agree with all of you. High school I averaged around 3.9-4.0. The lowest I ever got in hs was 3.81.

Now I'm at 3.3-3.4.

damn gaiz. i slacked off in hs and had shitty grades.

I put together what I think I'll get for my first semester, and I ended up with an average of B- or C+.

There goes my hope of getting a scholarship.
Dammit, why can't I be like my sister?

what happened to you guys at college? what were the reasons for lower gpa?

drinking, smoking, f*ckin, lack of attendance, sleeping, eating, shittin, pissin

I hope to graduate cum laude with honors. I would love to graduate magna cum laude with high honors, but I definitely won't be able to pull my gpa up to a 3.75 by my last semester of senior year.

Better things to do than study + harder classes.

Fewer classes, no weighted grades.

and harder classes + requirements

oh yeah, definitely the no weighted grades. If college = AP, my GPA would be just fine.

this is my first semester and i'm hooooooooping for a 3.0. that would be sweet as hell.

Well there goes my GPA and hopes of getting a scholarship; so far I have one A, one B, and one C+. I'm almost certain I'll get a B or C+ for my fourth course.

I guess Tung and Kevin (was it him?) were right.

i want a 3.6 this semester. if i get a 3.4/3.5 this semester it'll make pulling my cumulative up to a 3.5 a little hard..

3.09 for my first semester. I'm gonna have to try a lot harder in the Spring.

my gpa is so much better then in highschool

Overall: 3.84
Core: 3.67 (so far)

Thank you, Psych and Math. :D

^ Are you like not taking Chem, Bio, or Physics or something? How in the world do you get that high of a GPA. >__>

I bet you're taking mostly social and humanities science classes huh?!

I'm in Commerce. If I'm lucky that means I will never have to do a lab in my life ever again XD

Last term I took:
Organizational Behaviour
Microeconomics
Differential Calculus with Applications to Business and Economics
Introductory Psychology
Symbolic Logic

I got 4.33 and 4.1 in math and psych which is how my GPA turned out so high. My lowest was microeconomics at 3.00.

I graduated high school with a 3.78, or something close to it.

I'm inching my way through college, and I currently have a 3.8, that is, until I change my major, decide to go pre-law and have to do some real work.

College is 4.0 highschool is 3.4-3.5 I'm not done with HS yet...

your doing dual enrollment shanaynay?

My high school GPA was a 3.8, my college GPA is finally up to a 3.0 =/

definitely.

in high school, i never would have dreamed that i would be happy with a 70 on a midterm or final.

i graduated summa cum laude in high school... now i doubt i'll even graduate with honors. dang what happened

ill be happy as f*ck if i graduate with a 3.0

wtf homes I thought you had a higher GPA than me!

christina what do you have?

FUK.. lookenn diz thrad makk moi wyshh moi nevaa azzn

FUKEN NURRD

High School = 3.85Wd/4.0
First year of college = 1.65 overall
Fall 09 term = 3.81

college overall = 2.5

At least it's going back up. I would like to have a 3.5 by the time I get my B.A

I thought overall the college gpa was lower than highschool ?
(cause of expectations)

I wouldn't know since I'm not in college yet
but ill prolly find out the hard way...

damn you like completely bombed the first year

I have like a 3.6 college gpa but I am going to online school now so that will all go out the window.

hs gpa = 3.9 gpa (prediction)

college = NOT YET

High school GPA: 3.8

College GPA: 3.6 right now

That usually is the case, as I found out my first year. :P instead of high school having grades and points for every little thing, you'll find that some professors take only a few grades, mainly from tests and projects. So, if you do badly on tests and half-ass projects you won't find yourself getting the straight A's you've become accustomed to in highschool.

Plus, you'll find yourself enjoying life more than college.

So did I

1st year I got a 3.985 GPA

Right now it's 4.33.

But I have yet to get my accounting/econ marks back...so...expect that to get much much lower.

4.0 scale? great job!
