Fall 2008: What was the final damage? (Grades)

****. Barely a C

I did alright, considering I went out quite a bit this semester. I have a 3.6 and looking to apply to medical school next year so I have to raise that a little bit to make myself a bit more competitive. Still have a year and a half to go, though.

B for me. Needed a little better to swap to the major I wanted, but I'll live.

3.7, pretty good but I wanna keep getting better

3.7 is a B+

If my school went by normal standards I'd have a fine GPA. Stupid "Celebrate the C" crap.

Makes a C the average grade for each class instead of a ****ing B

3.7, pretty good but I wanna keep getting better

I was pretty much right there too this semester (3.72 or 3.74), which was really nice as I had two electives for my major which were both A's so my GPA for my major ended up being north of 3.7 too.

And perf, if I was you, really think about the classes that will compliment each other. I know that can be hard sometime, especially when you are focusing on classes for your major, but I've had friends who have scheduled a lot of very similar classes together to "get it over with" and others who have tried to schedule a super easy winter semester and neither seems to turn out too good (either too stressed or not stressed enough.) I had a lot going on this last semester and my classes weren't cakewalks, but they really worked well together so despite working hard I still stayed interested and it really didn't feel hard to make A's in my classes. Obviously that is not always possible due to when you schedule or what you have left to take. With a 3.6, I am sure you can get your grades up even more in your last semesters though.

I've been pretty diligent in making sure I have a balanced schedule. I was just an idiot my freshman year and ended up with a 3.2. I had a 3.9 last year and only a slightly disappointing result this past semester. I've scheduled 18 credits (may drop that to 15) for this semester plus my research job. Of those 18, only 6 are upper level science the rest are for my english minor/general education courses. I'm not concerned, I just need to burst into the mid 3.6's by the end of this semester and then try to brush 3.7 by the ned of my senior year.

3.7 is a B+

I got a B, A-, and 3 As...so we must have different grading methods

[ljshorty89]

At, at Cuse, a B is a 3.0. B+ is like a 3.3 or so.

Same at UD lj. I thought most schools had that scale.
