I don't know my GPA sad.gif 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.
Gigi
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!
cakedout
i aint even gonna lie. High school = 4.00, now its 2.6 lol shittt
hi-C
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?
DoubleJ
Can their be multiple cum lade?
hi-C
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.
stephinika
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. sad.gif
misoshiru
damn gaiz. i slacked off in hs and had shitty grades.
Joanne
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. sad.gif
Dammit, why can't I be like my sister?
Whinoa
what happened to you guys at college? what were the reasons for lower gpa?

cakedout
drinking, smoking, f*ckin, lack of attendance, sleeping, eating, shittin, pissin
misoshiru
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.
misoshiru
and harder classes + requirements
paperplane
oh yeah, definitely the no weighted grades. If college = AP, my GPA would be just fine.
ersatz
this is my first semester and i'm hooooooooping for a 3.0. that would be sweet as hell.
Joanne
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.
misoshiru
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..
Joanne
3.09 for my first semester. I'm gonna have to try a lot harder in the Spring.
RoyalSwagger
my gpa is so much better then in highschool
Gigi
Overall: 3.84
Core: 3.67 (so far)

Thank you, Psych and Math. :D
Tung
^ 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?!
Gigi
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.
fameONE
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. _unsure.gif
