Grade Point Averages and other academic accomplishments

How are yours graded, ZV?

5.0 In fact, I've never gotten lower than an A- on a report card before. And next year I'm going to a genius high school.



I tried applying to a genius high school when i was in tenth grade, The North Carolina School of Science and Math. I had a GPA of about 4.375 and an SAT score of 1300... I didn't get in and I pretty much fell apart, had a couple of nervous breakdowns...

Did I mention my best friend who had a score of 1390 got in? I haven't seen him for nearly two years... bah...

I was hysterical when I didn't get in last year. All my bros. got in a grade before me.

Compared with those who posted on this thread, I know how you feel, ZV. :-*

Right now, I think my GPA is a 3.889. I'm number one in my class, though, so I'm pretty happy with that. :D

[Baka Nezumi]

That's quite good. That's, what, all A's and a B?

Your class sounds a little... underperforming and uncompetitive then... no offense.

Actually, last semester, I got all A's and an A-. It's my 9th grade year that killed me. Stupid Business and Finance class... My grade got down to a C all because of TWO homework assignments. Otherwise, I probably would've had an A- or a B. But a C!? :-*

And none taken, JQ Pickwick. Most of the students don't give a crap about their grades or just don't give an effort to bring them up. I, on the other hand, do care. Must be my near-obsession to outperform everyone. :P

Heh... wanna know something?

My brother was Valedictorian of his class, 2002. He thought he was very smart, that he could do extremely well... But when he got to college he realized that no matter how smart you think you are, there will always be someone smarter. In college, a lot of people were in at least the top 10% of their classes, at least in the more prestigious universities.

I've given up on competition. I've gotten disillusioned at all of that ever since I failed to get into that school 2 years ago. So... I don't believe in competition anymore, it just destroys you and you fight for what? To prove who is the 'smartest'? Things won't matter if you keep going by that quality...

My brother told me these things a long time ago, but I didn't realize it until after my breakdowns in Tenth grade...

[MagmarFire]

Point taken. Overcompeting DOES tend to stress you out.

I STILL wish that 9th grade was easier on me, though. That's a given.

I think there is something that is affecting how we are seeing other member's grades...it seems some of us are graded on the 5-point system and some on the 4-point system....For me, a 4.0 is the highest.

[MasterKeyX]

My highest is 105, we don't exactly go by a GPA.... but I'll post my grades if you want... and in each class, the highest is 100.

English 02: 96
Russian 2: 100
Global History 2: 96
Math B Term 1: 94
Software Application (Computers): 99
P.E.: 85 (everyone gets 85 by default... but it doesnt get scored in averages)
Living Environment (Biology): 96
