I'm thankful I'm still in high school and have another year until graduation, but I am going to dread what work awaits me in college. Good luck to all college students!
It takes a bit of getting used to, but it is so much better then high school in my opinion (given it may be because ive only done 1 semester and i hated high school with a passion.)

Well I hate high school too. I hate all of the clans, cliques, drama, schedules, dorks, tool bags, petarded teachers, and whatnot. Can't wait to get out of this place next year. However I can't complain too much because life's been good to me thus far and it's better than middle school.

But I am going into electrical engineering so I may just be going out of the frying pan into the fire.

I'm not an American, so, would someone explain whats happening here?


Grades in the American school system use letters A-F (or E for F depending on where you're from) to describe your level of success in the class, usually with grades in between like B- and B+.

Typically:
A = 95-100%, or 4.00
A- = 90-94%, or 3.67
B+ = 87-89%, or 3.33
B = 83-86%, or 3.00
B- = 80-83%, or 2.67
C+ = 77-79%, or 2.33
C = 73-76%, or 2.00
C- = 70-73%, or 1.67
D = 60-69%, or 1.00
F = below 60%, or 0.00

My cumulative score is a 3.00 for this semester.

For this semester I got:

C
B+
B+
B-
A-


generally, most places don't use a plus/minus system for the GPA.

it's just me against the world

In High School I graduated with a 2.7 and thought nothing of it.

Now I went to the college I had intended to go to since my freshman year of High School. A community college. Now, I finished my 1st semester taking harder classes (2 sciences with labs, College Composition, and Pre-Calculus), and I have a 3.535 GPA. I felt so great after that. Just knowing how much I have improved with just a little bit of effort that I never bothered with in High School.

I'm aiming to finish with at least a 3.7 so my GPA isn't a problem when I apply to Med Schools later on.

tfw you're happy to have a 2.4 after three years

I'd be happy to get that in this semester...

Why are you looking at this?

Cumulative: 3.83, just finished my 3rd semester in college (but I'm technically a 5th semester student now, with the amount of credit hours I've completed)

Congrats OP. May I ask if this is your first year? If so, that isn't exactly easy to accomplish. Many do very menially in their first year.

I am at a 70 and a 69 in two of my classes, an 80-83 in another, and unmarked in my fourth class as of yet.


Thank you! I just finished my first semester as a Sophomore. As a Freshman last year I earned a 3.44 first semester and then a 2.87 second semester. I was prepared for college. I took summer courses where I go prior to entering my first year so I got an idea of what the work was like in college.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

We have a totally messed up scoring system that makes very little sense. (In case anyone is curious)

My marks:
96

I got a 3.0 too. However I should have performed much better. I started neglecting my easy classes and it caused my gpa to be lower.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Just strive to get better at writing papers and improving your study and work habits.

If you stay around 3 or higher, then you should be fine.

Ah, the internet. Where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI.

I just finished my 3rd semester (1.5 years)of petroleum engineering with a 3.74. Rather disappointing.

Congratulations!

I just finished my first term and earned a 3.914, so I'm content.

Yeah see thats very different to what we do.

I have a scale of 1-22 for my grades, 22 being the best, 1 being holy -blam!- what have you done!?!?!. I got a 2/1 for my undergrad. 1/1 is an A5 or above average, a 2/1 is B1-B3 & a 2/2 is C1-C3 average.

Currently doing a Masters, where my only marked submission thus far has been an A5.

A1 = 22
A2 = 21
A3 = 20
A4 = 19
A5 = 18
_______________1/1's above this line________
B1 = 17
B2 = 16
B3 = 15
_______________2/1's above this line________
C1 = 14
C2 = 13
C3 = 12
_______________2/2's above this line________
D1 - D3 gives you a designated degree.

My major gpa is a 4.0 and my overall gpa is a 3.34. I was sad to see I was .06 away from the deans list, but there is always next year.

Everything you know is wrong.

Cumulative college GPA is 3.75.

For the record, I think the GPA system in America is too generous.

  • 12.26.2012 1:05 PM PDT

I made my user name back when I was little. I go by RandomJPG now. Please don't reference my username.

Got a 3.8 for my first semester at community college. I took dual credit English my senior year of high school and since I knew I wasn't going to an actual university I stopped caring about my grades. Because of this my GPA is only a 3.43. Hopefully though I can still transfer to UT, A&M, or UT Dallas because I can't stand community college.

What classes were you taking?


International Relations
Macroeconomics (first level)
Econometrics (first level)
Comparative Politics
French - Reading + Speaking


Mostly 100 level courses. Next semester i'll be taking intermediate microeconomics, international economics, french linguistics, some other poli sci class, and a computer science class (people telling me i shud take it for basic understand and -blam!-)...

Next semester i'll be taking 3 300 level courses (I guess the number representing "intermediate," lol).

P.S I'm a sophomore.

You're barely getting a 3 with very classes...

Discussion: how well did you COLLEGE (Graduates are welcome!) students do. Screw you highschoolers or middleschoolers.
By insulting us and middle-schoolers, you have granted us the right to dislike you back.
Also, I passed all my classes with a 96 or higher this semester. I hope to keep it that way.
