When you were in high school what were your guys GPA and grades?

Re: Grades

3.1.. never studied. Could've easily been 3.8 or so ...science/math were my downfall...now that I'm older, I feel I could learn them easily as well

Re: Grades

Around a 3.7 in high school. Never got below a B, usually got all As except for a few math classes.

College I finished with a 3.4. Slacked off and didn't really care or try. Could've been a lot better, but I enjoyed my time.

Re: Grades

Graduated high school with a 3.68 though I rarely studied beyond doing the actual readings. English (the grammar portion) and Algebra I & II were my weak points though Algebra was mainly because I had lousy teachers. And for proof, I had a good teacher for Algebra III and got A's and B's.

College was just short of a 3.0 (something like 2.98) though over the last 2 years it was over 3.2 (I got an award for maintaining a GPA above 3.2 for the academic year my junior and senior year. I struggled my 1st 3 years (took me 5 years to graduate mainly because of a leave-of-absnece second semester of my 1st year) most with trying to get though the 2 required introductory calc courses for Biology majors. I was diagnosed with ADD before my 3rd year and once I was getting that treated, it really helped.

Re: Grades

3.0 but I slacked off really bad in high school, I could have probably been close to a 4.0 if I actually did the work that I was supposed to and put forth some kind of effort. I was probably at 2.7 until my Senior year when I finally stepped it up and learned that it's kind of important that I do well in high school.

Finished a Masters/teaching credential program with a 3.8 GPA. Very happy to be done with school for awhile. In high school I was around 3.5. School was always easy for me.

Re: Grades

3.2 in high school, but I slacked off a ton.

3.5 in college. Slacked off in my core classes, but my actual Sport Management/Marketing classes, I got a 3.9. Didn't really see the point in taking Anthropology when I was a Marketing major, and my grade reflected that.

ha, I don't want to support bad habits, but imo high school is a joke... as long as you do just enough to get into a good college, it doesn't really matter. I had something ridiculous like a 2.6 gpa, then got a 1380 on my SAT's and got into Uconn, which is what I wanted to do all along

of course, we all have different goals in life... if you want to get into Harvard, then obviously you're priorities are going to be different. But for my situation, I got 4 easy years of literally doing no work (literally no homework, nothing lol) and got to where I wanted to be

getting good grades in college is much more important

Re: Grades

2.99 in high school, because I didn't give a ****.

3.0 in college because of extracurriculars (3.5 in major).

Yeah, no doubt that high school isn't all that important, but had I continued to slack off my Senior year, I would have ended up with something like a 2.5. In fact, due to some of the grades I got in high school and a very average ACT score(ACT is bogus, btw), I had to take some "provisional" classes in my freshman year of college otherwise known as "college adjustment classes" that wasted credit hours I could have put towards other, more important classes.

Re: Grades

I got a perfect score on the ACT test and didn't even pay attention to half of it. Got a perfect score on the military test too and I didn't pay attention to it.

Re: Grades

High School: 2.9 - was too busy messing around to care about studying.

College: 3.8 - its amazing what a little studying and hard-work will do. I carry degrees in finance, economics, and accounting. I also have a certificate from a local tech school in electronics. Thinking about getting one in computer science.

I'm going back in the Spring or next Fall but haven't decided what to do. Its funny, I hated high school, except for the socialization, but love the challenge of college.

Re: Grades

In my senior year in HS with a 3.9, I think, with a great score on the ACT that will put me over the top to go to University of Alabama.
