Grades

[VDusen04]

My story is similar to some of the others I've seen posted here. After taking an Economics course my sophomore year of high school, I came to the realization that community college, despite all the flak it gets from everyone everywhere, was going to be the right move for my first two years of college. This plan worked perfectly in conjunction with the idea that I was just getting a little sick of all the homework and studying getting in the way of my gnarly high school experience (noted sarcasm). I finished high school with around a 2.8 GPA.

I followed through on the community college plan, then transferred to a four year university and finished my degree with a 3.4 cumulative GPA. The biggest problem I ever had with the community college thing was swallowing my pride. It was almost as if I always had to say, "Yeah, I go to community college, but I swear I'm actually smart."

Like a 3.1 in high school. I didn't really try at all. I can hardly remember doing a homework assignment.


I've got a 3.92 in college.

I have a 3.8 now. 4.5 weighted I believe in my senior year of HS.

I had 4.25 GPA in HS, but it was inflated and it could have been better but I didn't try.

Right now my GPA is a 2.8 in college.

A 4.2 GPA isn't an A+ average.

Hence the probably. I can't know what goes on in his head.

Funny how you conveniently didn't comment on the perfect ACT part though. I suppose I probably wouldn't either if I told someone to read the thread when I obviously hadn't done so myself.

I have a 3.74 GPA in High School, this is my senior year. I haven't studied for a test since freshman year, and it's shown. I got a 25 on the ACT, and taking it this Saturday to try and get about a 27 or 28 for some scholarships.

However, I'm taking Calculus at college, and it is a whole lot tougher than high school math. We move so fast through the material, and there are so many steps to know, it's tough to remember. I'm not the best at studying as I've mentioned before, but mathematics is (supposedly) my strong suit.

Of course it was convenient. I was obviously wrong to say that no one had claimed to have gotten a perfect ACT score, but JohnnySkin implied that tons of posters were claiming superb test scores/GPAs. He's wrong. More importantly, I don't find it particularly unusual that one poster would claim to have a perfect ACT score.

While I browsed over one comment, he browsed over the whole thread.
