GPA

[gKash187]

For all you high school kids, what's you GPA?

Assuming I didn't bomb this one exam, I will come through with a 3.4857 for the year. I finally decided I cared about my grades and tried in all my classes except math causing me to ace 6 classes in the fourth quarter. I didn't put in any effort freshman or sophmore year and only got slightly above a 3.0 in both. So right now I'm looking at an accum of around 3.2. Pretty ****ty average but what can ya do.

[cherylz]

The last time I checked it was 3.8... oh well

[HdGLaxWarrior]

3.94 If I get higher than a B on my math final tomorrow, I'll have a 4.0.

[LSMiddie]

finish with a 4.0

[gKash187]

What's the grading scale for you guys?

100 - 93 A 4.0
92 - 90 B+ 3.4
89 - 84 B 3.0
83 - 81 C+ 2.4
80 - 74 C 2.0
73 - 71 D+ 1.4
70 - 65 D 1.0
64 - 0 F 0.0

[Dan]

3.654. you kids are making me feel dumb. 3.9 last quarter, mainly because my health teacher thinks a 93.56 is an A-.

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Thats pretty much it.

Whoops! I mean if I get higher than a 90, I get a 4.0.

[Snuffilufigas22]

Yea im holding steady w/ the 3.3

[laxbabe2121]

ours is
100 - 94 A 4.0
93 - 90 B+ 3.5
89 - 84 B 3.0
83 - 81 C+ 2.5
80 - 74 C 2.0
73 - 71 D+ 1.5
70 - 65 D 1.0
64 - 0 F 0.0

mine is the same as that

[anjang86]

be prepared for your GPA to drop by one full point when you get to college

[laxerattacker]

does anyone's school use the 10 point grading scale
100-90 A and so on?

[HdGLaxWarrior]

My middle school did that. But my HS doesnt do that. I guess that be easier to grade for teachers...

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

i've got a 3.29.. kinda ****ty, but it's because, like gKash, i didnt try my first two years of school... got a few d's and c's, so comin into junior year, i didnt even have a 3.0... tose of you who are barely startin high school, learn a lesson from my ****ty example... work hard your first 2 years of high school. teachers are alot more lenient these years and it's easier to get better grades early. itherwise, you'll be working your *** off your last two years of school to bring your gpa back up.

and, our grading scale is like this
5= 100+
4= 90-100
3= 80-89
2=74-79
1=70-73

[enjoi]

3.43 after frosh college. compared to 2.3 Senior year, i really screwed up my frosh year... like badly.

damn I wish mine were that high...

[livin4lax09]

3.6 I think...

[zizuhyte]

weighted or unweighted?

weighted mines a 4.8
unweighted a 3.9

[Dan]

my school goes like this, except teachers change it.

A=100-93
A-=90-92
B+=87-89
B=83-86
B-=80-82
C+=77-79
C=73-76
C-=70-72
D+=67-69
D=63-66
D-=60-62
F+=57-59
F=57 and below. so i consider that regular, whereas your schools have it all weird.

[gKash187]

F+?

How the hell can you have a Failure Plus?

[laxgirl09]

wow everyone in here is pretty smart...weird

i graduated hs with a 4.3 i think and have a 3.9 now

[Lyons Lax]

weighted: 3.6
unweighted: 3.0

that averaged from 1st and 2nd but I FCUKED UP 2nd semester.

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

how the hell do you guys get weighted GPA's? how does that work?... i've never heard of such a thing

[anjang86]

weighted GPA's are GPA's that have the AP or IB classes added to them so thats where and A is a 5 B is a 4 C is a 3... etc.

[bpjoyce10]

AP or IB classes give you extra weight. anyways, i had a 3.3 cumulative in high school, unweighted. like a 3.65 weighted. i ad a 3.0 first semester of college, 2.4 second, for a 2.64 over all. haha wow that is about a one point drop exactly. next year should be easier though, im taking beginning swimming(ive swam for 8 years) and spanish 203(equivalent to spanish 3 in high school, i got an A in IB spanish 2, or basically spanish for fluent speakers) and french 101, which cant be hard after knowing how to speak spanish

[WarriorLax22]

i don't think any college really cares about the 4.0 scale. they just look at your grades, put on whatever weights they want, then scale it themselves. for example, i think princeton's average GPA of incoming freshmen is 3.8 or 3.9. but they don't count your freshman year and they re-weigh everything, so if you kinda declined with every passing year, you may have a 3.9 by the end of HS, but you'll get like a 3.5 or something at princeton.

[bpjoyce10]

yeah dont stress too much in high school if you have a 3.67 and not a 3.69, its really no big deal. if you have a 3.5 and at least a 1300 on your SATs, and do some extracurriculr(lacrosse obviouslt counts) you should be be able to get into pretty good schools. my 3.3 and 1370 SAT could only get me into WVU, but i got a scholarship and i like it there. i always wanted to go to UVA, but from what i hear of it, its a bunch of rich c.ocky southerners who wont talk to you unless youre a member of a country club and drive an infinite SUV and where lacoste every day. i mean, they wear shirts and ties to football games, how ridiculous is that? but hey, maybe thats the school for you, i dont know

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

oh, wow, you guys treat AP classes differently than us... we just add 10 points to our grade if we take an AP class... so a 72 becomes an 82

[bpjoyce10]

thats essentially the same. no matter what your grade was, its gonna be exactly 1 gpa point higher if you add 10 percentage points

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

no, a 72 is actually a D on our scale, so it can actually raise your grade by 2 pts, instead of one

[gKash187]

you have to have at least C to get your grade weighted here

[sumSum]

We also have honors classes at my school, which are considered weighted. Last year, frosh year, I had good grades. Second and last quarters GPA was something like a 3.7 and my first was like a 3.4 then my third quarter I got a 4.0 and all of those are unweighted...BUT THEN I GO TO FRIGGIN PREP SCHOOL, WORK MY ARSE OFF AND GET SO-SO GRADES!!!!! I HATE PREP SCHOOL.

No not really, I love my new school, but my grades dropped 'cause of the difference in workload, etc. This year I dont know my GPA because my school doesnt give 'em until senior year if you need it for college. I never got below a B- though and my highest grade was A- in first semester for spanish and third semester for Russian Studies. All in all its not so bad 'cause of the transition but next year I gotta work really hard. I petitioned and got into AP US History so I'm really excited but I know its gonna be hard!!!!! At my school last year honors, AP, and IB was a joke compared to where I am now. At the school I'm at now the stuff is actually hard.

[bigOHlax]

wow don't i feellike a dumb *** ahavin a accumlative gpa of 2.702
and i thought i was hot stuff when i made honor for only the second time in three years this quarter with a 3.22
then again are gradeing scale is a lot harder then most of those you guys posted.

[waxon]

2.4, damn you kids are smart.

[fungi27]

my school has some messed up GPA system where the best is a 104. I have a 98 GPA, so im an A student, but i took weighted honors classes and this year, because of some kids' parents, their not weighting them but i have to take them anyway because of my parents. this sucks!

[GeorgiaMiddie2]

i really wish my school would have weighted honors classes... my GPA would have been so much higher and our stupid valedictorian (who no one respected or took seriously because she took all college prep, didnt challenge herself, and applied to a ****ty school anyhow) wouldn't have gotten the award.

[seanr9ne]

3.5.....the worst is over.....

my senior year will be easy except for calculus

[GIattack]

3.64 but after exams itll go down cuz im just so burnt out right no i dont have it in me 2 study

[HdGLaxWarrior]

It seems like all laxers are smart.

Waxon im right along with you, thats what I have.

[JedimasterKyle]

4.6

It isn't really hard to do you just have to focus on school and lacrosse and nothing else.

[Dan]

3.72 at this point, factoring a 4.0 (first ever!) for 3rd term. I have the ACT next Saturday, which I want to get about 30 on, and probably will if I can do well enough on science. I like the SAT better. Shorter, two subjects. I got a 1080 when I took it in 7th grade. I want to take it again and see how I do. I'm in an AP class and AP lab class as well as an honors class. Last year I had more honors, but all they are is harder. I wish we had A+'s here. We did in my old school. My math grade last term was a 103. My lowest test score was 101. I love switching from honors math to regular math.

[GIattack]

4.6

4.6! how do u get that!? the only way to get over a 4 (4.01) in my school is to have more A+'s than A's

100 = 4.01
94-99= 3.70-4.00 (high honors)
88-93= 3.20-3.69 (honors)
83-87= 2.90-3.19 (merit)

dont feel like doing the rest. . .

[BTlaxripper]

10 point grading scale.

196 on PSAT's (4 points away form nationally commended)
4.1 cumulative GPA

[HdGLaxWarrior]

At my school getting an A in a AP class is a 5.0

What is the ACT? Is it similar to the SAT?

[PompLax14]

I got like a 2.8-3.2 But I'll ace the SAT's, it's only because I don't do any work at all. SAT is my saving grace to get into a decent college.

[franks2089]

ours is
100 - 94 A 4.0
93 - 90 B+ 3.5
89 - 84 B 3.0
83 - 81 C+ 2.5
80 - 74 C 2.0
73 - 71 D+ 1.5
70 - 65 D 1.0
64 - 0 F 0.0
your grading scale is easy mine is:
100-4.0
99-3.9
98-3.8
97-3.7
96-3.6
95-3.5
and so on and so on until you get to 70-0.1

[AZReDWiNG]

4.57 weighted. I'm in two AP classes and two honors classes.

Unweighted:
A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0

Weighted:
A = 5.0
B = 4.0
C = 3.0
D = 1.0
F = 0.0

[gitrdone]

be prepared for your GPA to drop by one full point when you get to college
that means I'll get a 1.021 J/k
I have a 3.2

[lax save man]

3.7 i dont work i slack off and i hate school and this is wat i get

[LameR]

I'm at somewhere between 3.5 and 3.6. For us it goes like this:

89.5-100 4
79.5-89.4 3
69.5-79.4 2
59.5-69.4 1
0-59.4 0

Our's is unweighted as well =/

[Jpettit25]

I got like a 2.8-3.2 But I'll ace the SAT's, it's only because I don't do any work at all. SAT is my saving grace to get into a decent college.

Good luck.. I'm having a hard time getting into my first choice, Binghamton University, with a 1270.

[GCHSLax04]

Oh man... I gotta pull my act together, I'm killng myself with an accumulative 2.4.

[massliveguy]

man i really feel retarted, i have a 2.0 w/o electives, but i cheated the system and am going to a decent school, i think i only got in cause of lax

[Wrf1237]

3.1, but I got a 29 on my ACT so colleges are all over me.

[blckout20]

yea....2.1 but I got a 199 on PSAT's which sucks cuz a 200 would've been tight but what can ya do. I don't do anything in school and I basically just party my way through the weekends. This year I've got more like a 3.3 but it hasn't come into effect yet. I'm going to prep school for a year though so I'm not sweatin it too heavily.

[LiveAtWoodstock]

3.2 recognize, maybe less this quarter because i do bad in math, my teacher is an idiot. Anyways I'm done when my report card comes, I slacked off like none other this year, just like sophmore and freshman year. Work hard in high school, you need to. I got a 27 on my ACT though, at least that looks good.

[ljlax]

4.0 --B's in my APs :(

we get 5 - and A in an AP
4-A (B in AP)
3-B
2-C
1-D

gpa is the same whether its an A+ or A-

but as of next year honors classes are weighted too. adn they are recalculating our gpa's for this year so acutally i had a 4.3 because of honors classes

[WestSideLa X eR]

SAT doesnt count for as much as people think. GPA counts a lot, but it also doesnt count for as much as people think. College admins are looking at the whole picture. Take a friend for example. Few leadership positions, varsity field hockey, 3.8 GPA, + 1500 SAT, just found out she got into Harvard.
Dont know how it happened, but I guess her resume as a whole looked great. Or maybe it was a fluke

anyway, i slacked off freshman year, got a 3.5. Im pulling a 3.9-4.0 this year though, i started working pretty hard.

[camthraxFHK]

I have a 3.54 on the traditional unweighted A=4 b=3 scale. I take all IB though so weighted would help me. Oh well, my grades and a 1370 SAT werent good enough to get me into Tufts, Vassar, Berkeley, Brown, Trinity or Amherst. Occidental (B division MDIA here I come...) is where Ill play next year.

hm that sounds like a pretty well rounded perfect student to me? so they didnt get a 1600, not everyone who gets in has a 1600 and a 4.5 GPA. plus GPA and SAT are really really important, bnut they arent the only thing that collegs look at when they are considering an applicant

btw my sister has a 4.25 cum GPA, ranked 22 in ehr class, 1400 SAT, capt lacrosse,capt cross country, varsity cross country 4 year, varsity soccer 3 (didnt play senior year), varisty lacrosse 4 years, all american lacrosee, cif lacrosse champs, san diego hall of fame lacrosse, an abundance of volunteer hours and clubs, coaching middle school lacrosse for 2 years, and a crap load more of lacrosse awards
and got rejected from northwestern and UPENN and UVA. then she got waitlisted at UNC and cornell
however she got into: UC Davis, UC san diego, uc berkely, UCLA, USC, univeristy wisconsin madison, Boston college

plus the berkely coach is really interested in her despite the fact that shes from southern california

but then my friend got into UNC with a 1520 SAT, 3.6 ish GPA, no extracurrivulars besides varsity lacrosse for 4 years. so SATs obviously matter to them esp since hes out of state..

there are so many factors to getting itno college.but u cant rule out the importance of grades and SATs. everyone just has to work their asses off to be the perfet freakin well rounded student. screw that im going to community college--4.0 and all

sorry im bitter my sister is like perfect and everyone worships the ground she walks on

[regulate34]

i doent get it but up here in B.C. canada we go like this
86%-100%=A
73%-85%=B
66%-72%=C+
55%-65%=C
50%-54%=C-
0%-49%=F

and i got a 70% adv. not to good but its abouve adv ant my skewl

so i doent get the 4.0 and 2.4 stuff

[middieman1]

3.174...hehe:thumbsup: but thats not tooo bad..my friend's is .14

[BTlaxripper]

yea....2.1 but I got a 199 on PSAT's which sucks cuz a 200 would've been tight but what can ya do. I don't do anything in school and I basically just party my way through the weekends. This year I've got more like a 3.3 but it hasn't come into effect yet. I'm going to prep school for a year though so I'm not sweatin it too heavily.

you have a 2.1 and yet managed to beat most of my AP US History's PSAT scores...

man what're you doing......... :thumbsdow

[PiratesMiddie17]

steady with a 3.2 :-/ not happy about it though

[mid4prez]

I got over a 4 this quarter. I didn't get any B's in non leveled classes and I got 4.0 or higher in my leveled classes

[laxdfence21]

Alright in Texas we have a weird Scoring method in Houston at least. For the AP and GT students we have a grade scale of 6.5 and for all others its 5. So right now ending my sophmore year, I have about a 6.3 and I'm in the top 15 people in my class. any questions about the scoring just reply

[HCrum05]

Mine's 4.3 weighted

[Lacrosstitute]

I've been screwing around this year(freshman in hs) so I have a 2.9, but I have straight A's this semester so I dont know what it is now.

[rattlerg-unit27]

I got a 3.5 GPA

[laxfolife24]

3.73 unweighted

[ladylaxer18]

5.0 weighted, 4.0 unweighted using the same scale as AZReDWING's

[FunkyGuY]

2.4, damn you kids are smart.
yeah im around that too, but PE and lacrosse helps my GPA (school GPA). Also for side note, waxon, remember me from yoshi forums?
