w00t! Time to brag about the grades...

4.0 this semester, 3.785 overall. Not a bad start for my first year of college. Anyone else get their grades?

Law Enforcement and Justice Administration...AKA Criminal Justice. I dunno why Western Illinois renames it, but they do. Minoring in Fire Science.

Nyetski comrade.

I'll be finishing up with a 4.0 this semester. Tomorrow (I suppose later today actually) will be the last exam of my undergrad career. :D

That explains the high GPA.


j/k, but it's a lot harder getting a 4.0 in Chemistry. Every non-physical science class I've taken I've gotten an A in; I've yet to get a solid A in any physical science class (A- once, A's in labs, but labs don't count).

someone mind explaining what the hell a GPA is? i have an idea...but i've heard things like a perfect gpa (4.0) doesn't mean you have a 100% average.....

In canada, we use percentage averages :)

Anyone else wish they could just get rid of a few "bad" semesters? I wasted a year on trying to get into the school of business at UW, and it screwed up my GPA. Now I'm pulling a 3.71 average in Electrical Engineering, but my overall is a 3.3 because of business school.

3.34 this semester. I don't study though...not at all. I just go to class and pay attention (don't even take notes).

I get depressed reading these threads. I'm sure I could get 4.0's if I studied but I just don't see the point in cramming a little more info I don't know just for the test and then forget it when I walk out the door.

GPA is so misleading it's not funny

Isn't just funny how all these different courses are simplified to a number? It disregards how difficult the class is, who the professor was, what time of day the course is taken, and how large the class is.

Some majors are harder than others yet the one with higher GPA is thought as "superior"

I understand that in order to process such tremendous amount of grades requires a bureaucraticized process but I just find it odd.
