How good are your grades? (American)

Post Reply New Topic

Either middle school, high school, college or grad school will do.

I get mostly A's, and have had my GPA climb from less than 3.0 up to 3.7 over the past few years.

All As or A- occasionally.

I went back to school this past summer, and I've taken 7 classes so far. 4 A's and 3 B's.

A's and B's. B on average. I am in high school.

Hmm. Either Aspies are a high-achieving bunch academically, or nobody wants to admit to getting less than A's and B's. I barely got a B average in high school, and less than that during my first attempt at college.

Right now, I have straight A's, 4.0 GPA in high school. In Middle School, I had all A's, except for math (B+) ...

I may be getting A's and B's in college, but I got plenty of C's and a couple D's and F's in high school. That was because I didn't try very hard, especially in classes that did not interest me at all.

I get A's in every class except math, in which I'm lucky to get C's.

Course, as far as my college is concerned that means I'm dumber than a sack of rocks and deserve to have my financial aid taken away.

Or an alternative - that A's and B's together constitute more than 80% of grades distributed at US schools.

I get A's in the subjects I'm interested in, and either fail or almost fail the ones I'm disinterested in, then get B's in courses I'm disinterested in but somehow good at. I couldn't really punch that in though. Like, last semester I had 27% in this music history course program requirement about Gregorian Chant, but 90's in like, three other courses.

It depends on what you study and where you go to school- students taking English or Psychology usually get A's while students taking advanced math courses get C's and D's.

I answered "A's and B's" because my cumulative grade point average is around a 3.4 GPA after completing undergraduate study. GPA doesn't mean much once you are out of an academic setting and it doesn't necessarily correlate with succeeding in life. I think many of the posters here acted like myself when I was young(Obsession over GPA in college and no social life).

High school was about 3.7 unweighted.

College was 3.17, I had fun and didn't give a s**t. I don't regret it for a second, although that GPA is extra hideous considering I was an anthropology major

Grad school is 3.81, I feel pretty good about that one because I still don't give much of a s**t, I just finally have actual goals and figured out how to get things done.

3.1

I'm not American so not sur ehow to convert, b ut I think I get B's on average.

I attend a school notorious for grade deflation, and most of my grades are As or Bs and I'm consistently on the honor roll, so all things considered, I'm doing pretty well.

Having recently looked at US GPA's for a friend who was thinking of applying to US graduate schools, I just can't get my head around it. Here, A grades are awarded to only 3-4% of college students per subject across all disciplines, with around 82-85% of students scoring between C and F.
