im b0r3d as you can tell - but i gotz a 4.3 wighted cuz sum bish of a chem teacher dropped my grade to a B for excessive tardies - the policy at my school is 2.2% off your final grade for every unexcused absence (which u can easily get excused or made up) - and every 4 tardies = 1 unexcused abscence which cannot be made up. at the end of the semester i had 12 tardies, im juss glad i wasnt dropped to a C. and it sucks cuz i would only be like a min or 2 late from rushin around, and tardies are marked up to 30 mins, so i coulda missed that much for every tardy - but the lady was a dinosaur and she didnt like me too much cuz i would always mess around with her chemicals - but hey what can i say, my fault i guess :\. and now goin into my junior year im takin AP classes - and wit work and all imma have to free time - im lookin for a way to stay involved wit paintball as much as i am know. but anywayz - back to that topic, juss wonderin ur guys' GPA .....

It is also apparent, that your command of English is also lacking.

No comma was necessary in that response, and it sounds bad with two "also"s. It should've been: "It is also apparent that your command of English is lacking."

heh

yes, 4.0+ is possible. In my school if you are in a honors class your junior or senior year its out of a 5.0 scale. although I'm just a lazy sophmore right now mines around 3.8 http://www.automags.org/ubb/rolleyes.gif and oh,I agree, science classes are the worst. I've been hated by every science teacher since 7th grade, not because I am "bad" just the fact I get good grades and don't study http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

I had a 4.5 outta 4.7 in high school... 3.8 unweighted. But, I earned a 4.7, personal differences between a couple teachers. Was robbed... damn English teachers. I'd be going to school for free if it weren't for that.

I only have about a 3.2 right now in college... going for an engineering degree ain't easy.

We don't have GPA's up here, except in University. I was running around a 70 average in high School,College was about 78(I actually cared about schoolwork, when I was paying $$), University was a 3.5 GPA or so.

I'm currently going after my BA in Marketing after doing diddly squat in college 8 or nine years ago. I work 40 + a week, raise my son and take my classes via distance learning. Each class is 5 credits and I take 3 classes during each two month period. Right now I'm at a 3.5 GPA.

I haven't slept since July of '98.

Hmm.. hehe. Always scored in the 97+ percentile on those testronics when I was younger. My GPA in high school started off around 95, but by the time I graduated it was around an 87 due to all the slacking off. Nailed a 1350 on the SATs. Scored a wonderful 1.35 my first semester of college, 2.0 cumulative by the end of the first year. Left that school, now I have around 3. something or other (3.6 last semester, I forget what I got this semester).

Friend of mine got a 0.4 his first semester of college, I thought that took some skill.

2.29 is my GPA http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif

well, I have a 3.1 at my school, and you can get up to a 4.7. an A in prep course- 4.1, in an honors course- 4.5 and then in an Advanced Placement course (AP)- 4.7. I'm hoping I can raise up the GPA to about 3.3 so I can get into GA Tech. A 3.3 might not sound high enough to get into GA Tech, but this is a damn good private school so they look at a 3.3 or 3.4 as being about the same as a 3.6 in a public school http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

Some schools go up to 5 ive even heard of 6.0, depends on how they weigh each grade and blah blah

Ah, I see... they should have it the same at each school... someone from one school says they have a GPA of 3.8 and another 5.7, that 3.8 is gonna look dumb as a bag of hamburger.

Only at some schools you can get above a 4.0

You can't get above that at my school. I have a 3.95, im ranked second in my class http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif
