General Chat / What's your GPA?

I made a mistake. It's not 3.17. It's 3.72 for me. Out of 4.0.

Un weighted GPA: 3.93

Weighted: 4.4

pronbably like a 1.9 because i don't give a shit.

I have a 4.0, but it will soon be a 3.88 or 3.76 when this semester ends. I need to keep 3.25 over 4 years to keep the bulk of my scholarships.

3.88

4.00 for my major.

Mine went down this semester and Momma's not buying me that new bicycle I wanted.

My idea with improving the school/evaluation system:

On your report cards, transcripts, whatever, after every class and the # of units, they put your grade (A, B, C etc or a percentage), and then next to that they put the average grade for the course.

It pisses me off because some courses I'll take the average grade will be a low C, and others will be an A, and it shows more that I got a B in the harder course than I got an A in the peice of cake course.

Why don't they do this now? It seems like it would provide much more valuable information to colleges/future employers.

PS I'm going to either get 3A's and 3B's this semester, or 2A's and 4 B's. But I took 6 engineering courses this semester and do 20 hours a week of research so I'm happy I escaped this well.

High School:
Unweighted 3.94
Weighted 4.5

College: 3.88

Coz it's something I enjoy. You sorta get a right to be annoying and ask questions...

Wow. That's all that is evil about reporters.

Employers don't care about grades.

Employers don't care about grades.

No, but colleges, grad schools, and doctoral programs do, and employers care about your credentials.

i support this idea.

1.2

im just lazy =P
besides, i already got the kind of thing i wanted out of school already, so meh...

Lets just say its well below the average price of gas.


Odd though, I always have kickass fall sems (B averages), and then shitty spring sems(average of C). Damn snow makes it impossible to go to class in spring, plus I always take classes I hate in the Spring (read communism 101 aka global justice with a male a feminazi)

Lets just say its well below the average price of gas.

That doesn't narrow it down much. You could still have a 4.0 by that.

I'm smart but I get so lazy!

I used to get atleast 3.0+

Today I have something around 2.3 or 2.2

Lazyness sucks!! I have summer reading to do too for sophmore honors english and I haven't started yet!

I had a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale in HS, and a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale in college, but that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

In high school I had a 4.5 (with honors) or ~3.95 something (the non ridiculous way).

Now I have about a 3.5. Been hovering there forever. I wish I could get up to a 3.6 so that I could join the other engineering honors society, but, alas, it'll probably never happen. Somehow I always do poor/mediocre in one class every quarter now. Usually stuff like thermodynamics or viscous flow. I'm not a big fan of what I consider non-mechanical mechanical engineering classes. And if I don't have one of those classes, I end up getting boned for something else entirely unexpected. So, in short, I've pretty much given up on going above a 3.5. It also doesn't help that I do much better in humanities/social science classes and I'm pretty much out of them until I finish up my English minor.

Are you an ME or a different engineering major? At my school there are Thermo classes for ME's and for non-ME's and Circuits courses for EE's and non-EE's (which I hear the non major courses are just as hard, but they don't dive into concepts, just how to work out problems and an overview of how the stuff works). Are you talking about the non-ME Thermo classes like my school has or how do you mean?

Haha, no, I just don't think of thermodynamics as mechanical engineering. It is, but when I got into ME I thought it was pretty much just mechanical stuff, like robots, gears, structural stuff, and such. I should've done more research. So now I'm also doing material science engineering; no surprises there.

I calculated it by myself- got 6 As and a B- I got 3.86 out of 4
