you dont think i could get a 4.0 this summer?

Then get off of the internetz, find the number of your campus's student services, and ask for a referral to a good therapist. In the meantime I suggest a more productive use of your time. Like studying. Emailing your adviser to make an appointment. Calling someone to hang out with.

Just about anything else than this. No one here is going to be nice at this point.

K_s, I'm reading this thread just for you now. I'm laughing my ass off over here. :D

People in hell want ice water.

i prob should go to a therapist but i think im gonna kill myself instead...that will solve my problems better i think

there is a high chance of getting a 4.0 with the classes/pros i picked. and how much i will be studying ..which would be 24/7

You already said you were going to do that when you were a Tri Sigma perp. Recycling troll needs new material.

wait what about tri sigma? recycling troll?

Fuck you for thinking this is funny.

i wasnt being funny...that is actually serious. no joke swear to god

Reasons why I want IP tracking number #3 - so I can call the police on fuckheads who think faux suicide threats are funny.

Troll elsewhere.

Wow...12 pages of nothingness....

In that case, here you go: 1-800-273-8255
24/7 suicide hotline.

Suicide hotline=helpful. Internet thread suicide threat=not.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

I get into work this morning, bring up GC, and I see 12 pages... I figure it must be an old and revived thread... nope. People (ahem OP/troll/whatever) are nuts.

So, what classes are you taking this summer? I can't imagine a school that hasn't already started summer sessions already.

Also, since it wasn't already mentioned, even IF:
the Office of Greek Life were to allow you to go through recruitment, AND
you took 7 credits* this summer and got As to raise your GPA to 2.45, AND
truly every collegian in said fave sorority wanted to give you a bid, the recruitment advisor/chapter advisor should enforce the national GPA requirement to join.

*I call bullshit on the 7 credit rule. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to take 8, though, you claim you need 9. Summer sessions come in two parts, so why wouldn't you be able to take 4 credits in each session?

Wasn't even that she needed the full 9 credits, not the allowable 7 credits, WITH the 4.0 in all, to even make it up to 2.45?

Also, at my school, summer sessions did not come in two parts. I took summer classes one summer to make up some I had lost via transferring. There was only one session and while I'm not sure what the full class-load was, I took 2. I am 99% sure that that was the limit.

I had about 7,000 things to quote but when I got here I just lost my shit.

HDU people for doing this without us here to see the fun!

Nah, it's just the OP/troll I was referring to. Just... I have no words. Such drama for a Wednesday morning. I'm glad it came on a morning where I'm super bored! ;)

Where's this thread at?

Wow, I missed a lot since last night.

k_s is my hero.

And yes, where is this Tri Sigma perp thread?

because i only have time to do the 2nd six week summer session. and during the six weeks you are only allowed to do 7

no if i had 9 i could get it to a 2.5 *easily

Check into on-line or correspondence courses.

i did, but the credits transfer, not the grades :( which is dumb i think..

Well, shit, that .05 makes all the difference. *insert sarcasm here*

Listen, I'm really sorry, but there is little point to you coming back to argue whatever point you thought you had. Your grades suck, and even if you do the whole summer school for however-many credits and did perfectly, your grades would still suck. We don't know what school you're in, whether or not anyone would bend the rules or not, etc. If you want, come back once your recruitment starts and let us know what happened. If not, buh-bye.

I mean, if you want to post here just to argue because you're bored or whatever, people will get tired of it, if they haven't already. We aren't here to amuse you.

I know its been a minute since I've been at school, but umm usually when the credits transfer the bad grade you got is removed from your gpa. You won't get the grade, but the bad grade you had doesn't count against your GPA.

Now I could be wrong, but that's how it worked for me.

LOL. THE END.

Agreed. I transferred and my GPA started over, but I received most of my credits.

can you explain this further? like for example, i failed a 1 credit class (please dont make fun) and there were numerous where i got D's. if i took classes where only the credits transfer, what would happen???

someone please explain this?

How about you have your college/university to explain this.

Good grief, GCers, stop explaining everything to these people. They have plenty of resources if they aren't too lazy to use them.

Okay. Say you went to school A and took 25 credits' worth of classes. When you transfer them to school B, maybe they only take 20 because of what their own classes are like. A fashion merchandising credit won't transfer if you're going to MIT, for instance. Now, since all schools grade differently as well (plus other reasons), you only get the credits, not the GPA. DISCLAIMER: For some schools, you must have a certain grade or above for the credit to transfer. For instance, if I got a D in one class, it may or may not transfer according to school B's policy. If I got an F, those credits would not transfer.

Capice?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MAKING FUN!!!!!!

I really need to stop feeding the trolls when I'm bored. My apologies.

LOL. Nah, it would be fun if you all's posts weren't so serious. Let these usernames talk to the people at their schools and in the sororities. It will prepare them for life.

sooo....how would that help me? you basically just said the credits transfer not the grades...which is what i thought. how would having more credits help me?

Read the whole thread. Someone said to look into online courses of some sort, someone else came on and said that wouldn't matter since only credits, not GPA, transfer. So it's a moot point.

More credits would not help you if taken outside of your own school. Anyhow, that's not a discussion for here. Talk to your advisor and worry about getting into your intended major. That will matter a hell of a lot more in a few years when you're trying to find a job out there in this tremendously tough market rather than if you happened to get into a sorority.

Go sign up for the 9 credits this summer. Just do it. If the computer won't let you, go in and get an approval. Figure out a way to get it done and do well in the classes. If this is what you want then do it.
