<p>Yeah, it's time to get over it. You'll actually probably get a C sometime. I was salutatorian of my high school and I have a C, C+, and some B-s to my name.</p>
<p>Yes, I totally understand what you guys are saying. a B is not bad. (It's a 3.0 after all)</p>
<p>But I'm trying to get into a t14 law school after college, so a 3.0 won't fair well in the law admissions process.
that's why I'm sad, but I'll get over it eventually.</p>
<p>Oh. Suddenly it makes sense.</p>
<p>My apologies for the above post I made, and I hope you get into law school.</p>
<p>ahh i come from engineering where a B is awesome haha...
just remember, a C is average...so, if you have above a 2.0, you're "above average'"...however, we all know a 2.5 won't get you anywhere, so anything above a 3.0 in college is great...
i got a B- (in a frickin non-major class too...geology $%#$@#$@#%!!!!!), three Bs (calc II, chem, vector calc) and two A- (chem lab, engineering)
and im happy haha 3.1 (3.22 major classes), which means i have to keep a 3.0 for the rest of my college career, and i have a job upon graduation =)</p>
<p>shoebox...see it isn't "rocks for jocks" ;)</p>
<p>B's suck. Being that I currently have a 4.0 and am halfway through my sophomore year I'd be pretty ticked off if I ruined that GPA.</p>
<p>My goal was at least a 3.8, preferably a 3.9. The reason is because I want to go get a job upon graduation and seeing that will probably make me look more attractive. From there I will take summer and night classes (I'm an ed major) to work on a master's degree. This way I'll have the cash to support it and still have my weekend job to bring in extra spending money. I'll live in my mom's place and drive my 1996 Volvo until I get that master's and tenure.</p>

<p>Umm...it could go either way. Some people may think you are too good for their job and/or think you are robotic. And believe me, they could care less in education what your GPA is!</p>
<p>My best friend is a middle school history teacher and graduated college with a 3.97 GPA. She had a fairly difficult time finding a job in the school district we graduated from (and was told at high school graduation they would gobble her up in a heartbeat). Even though a few history teachers retired that year, she didn't get a job with them (or any school district in our county).</p>
<p>Yes, she knew the stuff cold, but, she didn't get highest marks on her student teaching evaluations (she did well, but not the best). That impacted her ability to get a job exactly where she wanted to teach. She's now in her 3rd year of teaching and was granted early tenure. </p>
<p>But the bottom line is that schools want to see how you TEACH not your GPA in education.</p>
<p>How about this? A friend of my son's had an A going into the final and felt like he owned the exam, and then was confused and angry about the B grade he received. When he emailed the prof to ask his final exam grade because he expected an A, it turned out that the prof recorded his midterm as a 70-something instead of a 90-something. If you really think a grade is wrong, it pays to ask!</p>
