You prepare and prepare but ridiculous test problems prevent the vast majority from seeing anything higher than a B+ on most exams. Most of us will be happy with a 3.0.

Gotta love those ridiculous problems. My program used Circuit Theory I and II as weed out courses. The homework problems would take 4 hours for 4 problems while working in a group and knowing the numerical answer. The test was 50 minutes strictly enforced and had 3 problems as hard as the homework. Average grade? 35. The two tests and final were 90% of your grade.

That is why out of 150 freshman, 30 of us actually graduated in four years :Q Our class sizes drastically shrunk after that course.

Cumulative: 2.4
Major: 3.0 (?)

it wasn't good. took all of the easy courses for granted. it's a wonder that i actually graduated. in fact, during my last semester, i had two professors laugh in my face when i went to see them during office hours. i had almost no chance of passing. one said that if i aced my final, i would get a C. the other said that if i aced my final, he MIGHT pass me with a D. i forgot what classes those were. algorithms maybe? i never went during the course of the semester. but i studied my butt off just before the exam, beared down and aced both exams. i was almost fooled when i finished both thinking to myself that it couldn't have been that easy. i was done in 30 minutes. i waited an hour outside for the next guy to come out and he complained that it was too hard. i can't remember if i went back to see the professor afterwards. they probably thought that i cheated.

3.76 Overall @ Brown University, Nuclear Engineering, BSE

 

[magomago]

3.5 overall, 3.85 engineering~ 3rd year BioMed Eng @ UCI, and adding a Materials Science minor

as for the guy who asked why overall was lower than engineering....i think it might be because not all programs start you off in the engineering classes first year...and first year people are more relaxed~ atleast I was in the dorms, because my first year I had no engineering courses and I chilled in the dorms

That and Writing vs. Me = writing FTW. If anything I only wish I went back and took the "harder writing" class because you actually got to read BOOKS. In regular writing youread a 1/2 page article where its some letter written from one guy to another and expected to analyze it and produce six pages of pure b.s. Either way, reading a book would atleast provide the entertainment of a story
The ironic thing right now is I write 10 times more than I wrote in writing because I always have essays on something due

My school uses percentages... meaning out of a 100... so I'm not too sure if it converts directly to the 4.0 scale... I've never quite understood it to begin with... then again Canadian post-secondary institutions don't typically use them.

2.79 and i am proud of it

 

[Xyclone]

3.66, but I'm in HS right now.

 

[CraKaJaX]

3.86

Hopefully I keep it this way for 4 years....

 

[QurazyQuisp]

So far... 3.4285 my first semester at MSU..... (Michigan State University)

The only reason it's that is because of my Calc class... and what I mean by that, is low. I'm done with math, and that's a check mark in my book.

 

[LordMorpheus]

3.87
Rice University
Mechanical Engineering

 

[bonkers325]

3.13 as a civil engineer

i screwed myself over sophomore year, hit a low low low low low 2.1 and have regretted it since

 

[clickynext]

3.95... So very close. But I've got time to improve on it, with only half the year done. Hopefully.

I had a 3.44 my first semester in college with an A in my Computer Science course. Not sure how to feel about it. Kinda apathetic...
