What is/was your GPA?
 

I wanted to get a sampling of people's GPAs, whether current or upon graduating.

My overall was 3.65; within my major was 3.85.

Mine was a 3.9 when I was accepted to med school in October of my senior year, and a 3.8 when I graduated that May.

4.0 - when I graduated in Dec. 2003. :D

We didn't have anything like that for my masters, as it was essentially fail, pass or distinction (and distinction is near impossible), and all assessed work was on a 20.0 point scale.

Good enough to get me the diploma! :D

Undergrad--3.6, Graduate--4.0

See what I can do when I don't have to take those silly required Accounting and Algebra classes? ;)

Ditto!

Undergrad: 3.36
Grad: 3.81 (so far...I'm in my second year, btw)

These responses really make me happy, because there are so many negative stereotypes of Greeks.

As far as "good enough to graduate", I agree that it is a huge achievement. I don't know dropout rates for undergraduates, but college isn't easy, and committing yourself to yout GLO and other activities (as I saw that many Greeks were active in many activities and clubs at my schools), is no small task.

BTW, SigKapSweetie, did you end up going to medical school? If so, what was your specialty? I was a boring English & Journalism major, but I always loved biology and especially genetics.

me three! i'm hoping they didn't make a mistake. ;) it wasn't that bad, i'm still going to grad school.

This made me LOL so hard. What are you pursuing a grad degree in?

B.S.-3.17! M.S.-3.5! Ph.D.-3.8!

^ How do you get a GPA for your PhD? Must be a totally different system, as we either get it (with minor corrections or 3 month corrections from the viva) or don't.

I graduated with a 2.8 as a chemistry undergrad (which was good enough to get me into a great grad school).

As a master's student I graduated with a 3.3 .

Our GPAs are recorded on transcripts and reported to the department and graduate school. We can access our GPAs on line, too. It's only to ensure that no student is struggling to get the minimum 3.0 requirement to continue in the program. That's the ONLY reason your GPA for many PhD programs is remotely important. Almost no employer will EVER ask you what your GPA was for your PhD and people with an understanding of what graduate school is about (for their field) won't report it on their curriculum vitae/resume`.

GPAs in general don't matter unless you have to submit a transcript to a school, organization, or employer that cares about GPAs.

3.72 undergrad

When I had to drop out of grad school (because my daughter arrived on the scene), I was carrying a 3.72 in grad school

I always thought that was weird.. like.. is that the only GPA I was ever going to have? I also wondered if I was just going to get that no matter how much or how little work I put into it? Hmmm... we'll never know I guess!

Undergrad: 3.54
Within Major: 3.55

3.3 undergrad, dropped out of first grad school, 3.8 something second grad school.

Undergrad: 3.49
Grad: 3.8

BTW: We have some smart so-and-so's on GC :D

Undergrad (Microbiology)- 3.35
Grad (Library and Information Science)- 3.85

Undergrad - 3.2
Grad - 4.0...so far.

as we stand right now, 3.888. That may change in the next few days because of exams

3.36 over in the corner....and a 3.56 in the major!

4.0 in major 3.803 all around so far- we'll see what the final is in May. :D

I really don't remember.

When applying for jobs, nobody has ever asked.

My guess is probably around a 3.0 -- after a 1.6 the first semester. A little too much partying.

My cumulative GPA was good enough for me to graduate, and just doing that took all I had thanks to a hellified mystery illness that was eventually diagnosed as SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus).

4.0 undergrad!

hmmm grad GPA cum is 3.4

right now, my grad school GPA is 3.75 :)

undergrad - 3.5 someting
masters - 3.8 something
phd so far - 4.0

undergrad = 3.7
grad = 3.94
current grad (2nd Master's) = 4.0

Currently, I Have a 3.2 overall.
I don't know how to locate my GPA within my major on Genie. Huh. It can't be lower than a 3.0 cuz I've gotten a nothining lower than a B in all my teacher ed. courses.

And, oh, by the way, teacher ed is NOT easy. It's a lot of work. (just debunking the stereotype-"Those who can't do, teach")

Grades were posted at La Verne yesterday and I am pleased to say that I have maintained my 4.0 in grad school. YAY! :)


I completely agree with you b/c my teacher ed program is the most difficult and intense program. Just to get a credential here in California, I have had to take the CBEST, all 3 sub-sections of the CSET, 3 TPA's (Teacher Performance Assessments), the RICA exam, and my professional portfolio along with 2 sections of student teaching in both upper and lower grades.

Me too! ASA 101 was so much more fun and interesting than Math and Science 101. But I went and got a masters degree to kind of balance that out and graduated with a 3.6

Around 3.8 overall and 4.0 in my major. If I like something, I tend to be really good at it. Or maybe it's if I'm really good at something, I tend to like it. Something like that!

I have a 3.5 (double major with a minor).

Thanks to my recent 4.0 during summer school!!!!!! I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY!

My first 4.0 at the collegiate level, and during one of the most challenging English classes with one of the toughest professors on campus.

I am so estatic that I can't sleep... obviously... hehe :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

I finished my Master's degree with a 3.77 GPA :)

Man, I hear you on that one.

I didn't have a major disease, but a bad reaction to a medication I was on sent me home a semester with a couple withdraw-fails on my transcript. And then I just couldn't get out of that "hole" for the next couple semesters--school + trying out new meds for a chronic migraine problem = GPA sudden death and a couple other semesters where I had to withdraw before they ended.

Luckily, freshman year for me was a 4.0, I never moved beyond "academic probation" or under a 3.0 cum, and I'm headed into what should be my senior year with a 3.27. (I just reached junior status, though.)

Just please for the love of all things holy, don't ask about my in-major GPA!
