What is your accumulative GPA after you received your bachelor's degree?

[mwtgg]

Cumulative. And a 3.92.

Haven't heard this in a very long time. Lyrics make this even better now that I know exactly what's it saying.

 

[SilentZero]

3.87

 

[Tiamat]

Between 3.7 and 3.8 for both B.S.ChE and M.S.ChE

 

[dbk]

3.1 undergrad
3.2 masters

 

[Matthiasa]

Yes because GPA doesn't heavily depend on major...
For engineering stuff at least where I am less then 1/3 would end up being qualify for your poll.
Seriously I joined(was send invitation) a national honor society,rejected a few others, and my gpa doesn't even make your list.
So yeah your poll is fail.

No Bachelor's degree, but after 2-1/2 years in community college and 3 A.S. degrees, 3.94

Does it matter one little bit to anyone but me? Fuck no.

 

[DrPizza]

Summa Cum Laude
Was ranked #1 in class during junior year (some major presentation with a plaque.)

I should also mention that in 7 years at Fortune 500 companies and several of those years spent working in the recruiting department, I've never seen anybody ask for or give a shit about GPA outside of internship recruiting.

I am below the scale but got a B.S. ChE from a private college that took me 5 years to graduate from. The only places that asked about GPA were for internships, and I could not work at one due to needing a full time job. I could not live off 20 hours per week, so internships wre out of the question and that is what killed my job prospects.

I took 15+ credit hours per semester.
I worked a full time job, 40+ hours a week.
I did work study also to help pay for college, 10+ hours a week.
My only off days from my job were lab days of Tuesday and Thursday each semester.

I had several interviews but no experience killed me. Nobody cared about GPA when I said I had to (not chose to, this was not an option for me) work full time.

A few years after graduating (job market here is really bad) I got a call to work at a chemical plant for 6 months so I did that for experience. I searched for a new job but was fortunate enough for a lab job to call me which turned into the job I have now.

From personal experience, it was all about an internship that I could not work due to not enough money to pay my bills. My teachers were always willing to give references for jobs I applied at.

3.99

You know after a while it became a real drag trying to be perfect. The only A- I got was in the first class I took, Composition I.

 

[Hacp]

Fuck this. I can't seem to get a perfect semester. Theres always a class or two where the teacher will give us some vague final with problems we've never seen before. Then he or she expects us to solve the problem perfectly. I end up getting a B and I go to complain and the teacher tells me that a B shows superior understanding. Only two or three students(out of 30) should get an A or A-. FUUUUUUCK! ARRRG.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

How do you guys work out GPA?

 

[Adrenaline]

We had a guy in EE who had a 4.0 going into a class his senior year and he hit his hardest class he took. The professor looked right at him in front of everyone and said, "You will not get an A in my class", because the professor made it that hard. The guy got an A in the class, he got perfect scores on everything.

I don't understand the reasoning behind teachers pulling this crap.

I'm not sure for elsewhere, but for the Californian UC quarter institutions, it was like this from 2001-2006ish, the times I was paying attention to it.

A = 4, B = 3, C = 2

[(Sum of all grades) / total units attempted ] * 4 = GPA

IE: 3 A's, 1 B, 4 units each

15 / 16 = 0.9375

* 4 for GPA = 3.75

one of my teachers just made the tests hard, but not for the sole purpose of failing people.

1 person got a perfect score in his ~45 years of teaching.

in thinking upon it, this was actually my favorite class because i learned the most and felt like i could apply quite a bit of it. this prof is now my research adviser for my thesis

Props to that guy. You need to be both smart and hard working to pull that sort of stunt off. I guess every school has those teachers that guards As like its a precious metal, handing it out only to the top one or two students.

If I recall correctly, that was the first A given out in that class in like 5-6 years from that professor.

 

[halik]

Because anything below that is indeed quite worthless. You're going to have to back it up with lots of experience before someone chooses a 3.2 over a 3.7+ to show that you actually know what to do for the job, that you're qualified, and that you're not a slacker like how your GPA shows.

4.0 from community college won't beat 3.0 from top 10 program...

One of my undergrad degrees is CS from top 5 undergrad program (IIRC; rankings move) and the mean GPA of the graduates was 2.75

 

[JPS35]

Bachelor's - 3.86
Master's - 4.0

15 / 16 = 0.9375

* 4 for GPA = 3.75

Going by that my GPA's 3.88 so far.

We use a scale out of 9 - A+ is 9, A is 8, A- is 7, B+ is 6, etc. When it gets down to 0 you start failing.

 

[Dumac]

ITT people with low GPAs try to justify their poor scores

Also ITT people with high GPAs try to give fellatio to their ego

I'm still in college, so I can't answer the poll yet.

 

[Zeeky Boogy Doog]

I currently have a 3.033, my last final is tomorrow and graduation on saturday, and should be looking at about 3.1 after this semester. Major GPA should be just above a 3.5. I do have a job offer already.
