Did your university.... or community college use the .5 scale when grading?  MSU uses it and it is terrible.  Your grades can only be 4.0, 3.5, 3.0 etc.  Last semester I missed a 4.0 in CHEM by 2 points.  The class was out of 800 so in any other school I would have a 3.9 but not here, it\'s a 3.5  That knocked me out of the Dean\'s List by .04  .5 Scales suck!

We have:

A+ ... 4.0
A ... 4.0
A- ... 3.666
B+ ... 3.333
B ... 3.0
B- ... 2.666
C+ ... 2.333
C ... 2.0
C- ... 1.666
D+ ... 1.333
D ... 1.0
D- ... .0666
F ... 0

This scale isn\'t bad... but getting a 4.0 here is a really big f*cking deal... I personally shoot for over a 3.0 every semester because appropriately that\'s at least a \'B\' average which is pretty solid for this school... Getting a 4.0 though takes a lot of hard work, and I\'d personally be really happy if I snagged a 3.5

Last semester my grades were: A- , B+, B+, B, B- ... [3.2]

No .5\'s here.

If i wasnt being stupid I could have easily pulled a 4.0 but instead I have a 3.6 (3 A\'s 2 B\'s).

There goes my suma cum laude

I have all A\'s, and I do a LOT of fucking studying, with tutoring on the side. Gotta get my PhD sooner than later. I\'ll probably take a Masters/PhD program, but the workload may be insane.

My school just has a regular grading system...no weird ass crap.

Impossible here... We have a nice saying that goes:

haha I\'m a firm believer in swif\'s college plan.  Over a 3.0 GPA is pretty much unobtainable at this point though.  best part is i don\'t curr, I\'d do it all over again if I had to.  i can happily say college was and will probably always will my favorite time in my life :)

But to make evx happy if I was going for a master\'s/phd I\'d definitely change my gameplan.  I\'d probably even buy a pencil or something.
