A sad fact, and, I'm afraid, makes this thread totally pointless.

Anywho, I usually get 80% or up. I'm actually going to graduate Cum Laude. S'pretty cool, I guess. I don't want to give a speech though. :(

I beg to differ. It's probably just my school, and I know America's education, while not terrible, is uncomfortably crappy compared to many other countries with similair economic and political conditions, yet the amount of people with straight A's at my grade (sophmore) is less than 30, and that's out of almost 1000 kids. And my school is one of the Top 100 in the nation.

Granted, I'm younger than just about everyone here and less learned about such topics, but I am a high school student in the United States, so I supposed I could possibly be the best source of information. Who knows?

I'm not sure about the actual numbers, but my state, Tennessee, has an organization called the Hope Foundation(?) through the Tennessee Lottery that builds college scholarships for students with a B average.

So I got the ACT coming up next year and if I make less than a 32, I plan to retake it. I'm predicted to make it in the 30-34 range, (out of 36) so I want to perform as capitally on it as possible because I really, really, really want a scholarship to Berkley.

Your first term is already over?

Anyway I think I had a 3.6 GPA but I'm not sure. It was good enough for my scholarship though.

3.63 last semester.... And on that report letter, the letter head said Murtaza Ali Bukhari, daughter of Shahid Ali Bukhari..... 0_o



(SPOILER)I'm actually the only guy in my batch studying Textile Design. So go figure that someone in administration failed there :bou::bou::bou::bou: job in not noticing a guy was enrolled in the program too :mad2:

I have 6 terms. =D

1st in Computer Games Design and Programming.

I think I'm at about a 3.6 right now, which I am terribly pleased with 8)

I have a 3.61 and am still in the top 20% of my class, but I'm not terribly thrilled with it. Would be a lot higher but there were some personal issues that negatively affected my grades last semester. :p Oh wells.

Oh, right. Wanted to address this:

Because that is what a 4.0 average says. That you literally got a perfect score on every test you've ever gotten

---

nah, it means you got 90% or higher on average. Or you took AP classes and got straight Bs

In high school I had a 4.0 and graduated valedictorian. I was a National Merit Scholar and it was great fun getting a full scholarship.

In college, now through 6 semesters, I have a 3.97 GPA. I've made two B+s, one in an introductory business course that I no longer need to graduate, and one last fall.

College isn't that much harder than high school.

easy for you to say :p

I graduated with my B.S. in Computer Science with a 3.227 GPA.

I flunked the sandbox in preschool

I'm double majoring in math and physics; I think my GPA is currently a 3.73 or some :bou::bou::bou::bou:.

Only someone as much of a badman as Keith manages to pull off epic partying and frat life and double majoring while getting a 3.7. xD

I suck, I hadd two DD's in my ALevels for Double Award ICT. :roll2
