Anticipating first B this semester.. :(

<p>Blah. This sucks. Up to 59 units I've managed a 4.0 and no matter how hard I've studied this semester I can not get anything higher than a B average in my Spanish class. My teacher even said I won't be able to get an A. Damn transferitis! One of my last classes (not to mention it's a 5 unit class) and it's gonna screw up my GPA. Super bummed.. anyone going through the same thing?</p>

<p>Lol</p>

<p>B in Spanish.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>Haha yeah i am. I don’t have a 4.0 (3.7) but I am probably gonna get a B in my Spanish 3 but since its a non-impact class, i really don’t care. At first i was pretty upset but then i thought, “I’m a business major, i should be in a Chinese Mandarin class right now.”</p>

<p>Yeah, it sucks. I thought my last semester would be so much more laid back but 20 units and working full time do not go well together. Argh. Could be worse I guess :)</p>

<p>Don’t sweat it. In some cases ONE B can actually be benificial. It shows that you are human and that you are not some crazy person obsessed with having an A in every single class you ever take. I have never seen a graduate program’s statistics showing any difference whatsoever between a 4.0 and a 3.9+ GPA student in terms of admittance rate.</p>

<p>I have a B in British Literature II this semester, and for the life of me I can’t raise it. The teacher is really strict on the reading and every paper I’ve turned in has been a B or a C. It’s really frustrating because until this class, I actually considered myself to be good at analyzing, and now I’m struggling just to keep up.
I’ve scored all A’s in major prerequisites, which includes three comp/lit courses, the bible as literature, world religions, and spanish 1 and 2.</p>

<p>Thanks TonyPreMed2013. That actually made me feel better (which is what I was looking for!) I just always assumed I would be able to graduate with a 4.0 and once I transferred I wouldn’t sweat a B because I know getting a 4.0 at the university level is really difficult. </p>

<p>HeatherBecca: Are you an English major??? I’m taking British Literature II also. I’ve had the teacher before so I’m doing good. Spanish 102 is a prereq for English so getting a B is a bummer… Frustrating isn’t it?!</p>

<p>Just to think, a more useful thread was bumped so you can take up space and use this forum as your personal blog.</p>

<p>Yes, and thank you for bumping it again :wink: </p>

<p>There are actually quite a few people on here who have 4.0’s and I’ve seen tons of people complain about “transferitis” and so I was hoping to see if a few people could relate to what I was going through in that regards. </p>

<p>If it bothers you so much, then don’t reply. It’s that simple.</p>

<p>Hey, I got a B in a 5 unit accounting course last semester and it was my first ever B too. Yeah, I was pretty ****ed at first but on the bright side you know what it feels like to fail (well, not literally of course) in college and that’ll be so beneficial once you transfer.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m an English major. And yes, that class is frustrating :(</p>

<p>All semester I’ve been right on the border of an A and a B in a 1 credit lab and it bothers the hell out of me. To break my 4.0 for 1 little credit would be so aggravating.</p>

<p>Exact same situation, except with sign language. I switched it to pass/fail though…so I’ll still have a 4.0</p>
