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.

[Just_Dream]

If I had gotten 70% in hs I would've cried.

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.

[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.
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.

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

Better things to do than study + harder classes.

[hi-C]

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

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.
