High School vs College

[MEbenhoe]

High School 4.2(ap classes and such making it over 4)...College 3.39....my how alcohol, poker, an abundance of hott girls, and the occasional weed has spoiled my academic career, oh well.

Worst poll ever.

A 4.0 wouldn't have landed you in the top 10% of the class at my high school. And we were a public high school of about 2500.

[STLantny]

Ya, you guys should really post whether you went to a private HS, or a public etc.
I went to a private one, and Im sure I could have had a 19.0 at any public school in my city. I forget what my real gpa was though, somewhere in the mid 3's

Am I the only one who went to a high school where 4.0 was actually the highest you could get? Anyway I went from a 3.6 to ~3.85 in college (I dunno what I actually have, haven't checked since a semester ago).

I managed a 3.4+ in college with two failures(*) on my transcript. On its face 3.4 is not much, but it takes a hell of a lot to pull up two zeroes.

(*) That's what happens when you spend all your lab time playing Ultimate Frisbee instead.

[tonypaladino]

I had a 60 average in freshman year in HS, and worked it up to an 80 by graduation. I think an 80's like a 2.7 right?

College i currently have a 3.3, but if you exclude freshman year, it's a 3.9

I'm guessing classes there were incredibly easy /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Toro]

A solid 2.2 lol. But I went to one of the toughest engineering schools in the country and fcuked off a lot. I'm sure I could have done better if I went to a few more classes.

I think it has more to do with inflated grades than easy classes. Our system was based on a 4.8 (for getting an A in an AP class). Needless to say I took like 10 or 11 AP classes to end up with such a ridiculous GPA but based on our AP scores vs nationwide scores I doubt our classes were easy .

[theben]

high school: weighted-well above a 4.0 (4.0 corresponding to a flat A. +/- system was used)

college: after 4 credit-years, 3.95/4.00 (more credits still to go, no "-" system)

[theben]

i bet labs only carried 1/3 or 1/4 weight of a normal class, or about 1/12 to 1/15 weight in a given semester

No, the lab I referred to were their own courses in experimental methods of physics, taught by a tenured faculty member, worth the same number of credit hours as any other class. I was a complete ass clown for fscking up and not getting my work done.

[runner4life7]

amen, i went from a 3.8 and a 35 on the act, to being on academic probation this semester...eh oh well
