3.4 GPA. I was pretty worried that I was going to lose my scholarship after my first semester (had to maintain a 3.2). Fortunately I never did nearly that poorly in the next three years.

Studying... no idea, that was 6 years ago. Not a lot, that's for sure.

3.7, 3.3, 3.0.
Yeah, you can see the correlation between more partying and drinking as the year progressed and my grades.

first semester? 3.8, dean's list, freshman prize, top 20 school, etc.

then the classes got harder, I got more unsure about what I was doing, changed my mind a bunch of times, and it went down.

You must've went to a crappy one.
The one I go to, the classes are comparable to the equivalent classes at universities.
The units are completely transferrable. They even have an honors program, where if you complete it with a 3.2GPA or higher, you're guaranteed admission into just about any UC school. Yes even Cal.

That said.. I only have a 3.08GPA :(
Mostly because I got a C in my easiest class, wind ensemble. I remembered the wrong date for the last performance and missed it. The professor was actually nice and give me a C instead of failing me, which is part of the policy stated in the syllabus.

2.4

I started Computer Science and realized it wasn't for me. Switched majors and graduated with a 3.12 or something like that. The first year hurt a lot.

Aerospace engineering, University in the US

3.90 Freshman (Got a B in a religion clas... doh!)
3.98 Sophomore (Got an A- in a class where almost 1/3 of the people failed... professor sucked)
4.0 Junior

Cumulative: 3.96

Hours spent studying: all of them... almost
My junior year we had two classes taught by one professor and the homework in each one averaged almost 10 hours a week. Ever since my second semester sophomore year I pretty much just do schoolwork all day every day.


Only got a year to go... can't decide on whether to go to grad school or industry, although I definitely want to be in industry in the long run.

B average throughout (senior now)

The amount of time spent studying depended greatly on what classes I had.

I'm pretty smart, just incredibly lazy when it comes to working on stuff outside of class.

graded on a 13-pt scale, i believe i was a 5.8 first year - did very well in getting annihilated though.

didn't get serious about getting my degree until i had a year off and changed schools. then i did exceptional, all As and a few Bs in some bullsh1t elective courses. the peice of paper is on the wall.
