<p>I just finished freshman year and i think i am going to have a gpa of 2.68 in chemical engineering. I agree that I didnt study as i should have. Actually, for the first semester, i had a gpa of 0.78 which was really bad. Redoing almost all the thes spring semster, I ended up with an accumilative gpa of 2.68. So here is my question; For those engineers out there is it still possible for me to pull my gpa above a 3.0? Here are the list of courses i will take next term: Physics II Chemistry II Calculus III and CH E 2401(intro to the chem process)</p>
<p>I know Exxon doesnt accept any thing below a 3.8 gpa ( thats what my mom told me cause she works there... :-| ), so they are out of the question. But with a 3.0 gpa or better will i be able to get a decent job? Would anyone accept me cause there tons of engineers with 3.5 gpa and better.</p>
<p>hmm if companies like baker&Hughs, which are not even that popular, require a gpa as part of thier eligiblity for interns how much more other companies that are known?</p>
<p>I actually have to disagree, iamsounsure…some employers really do look at your GPA, and in a few fields, it’s becoming normal for people to list their GPAs on their CVs.</p>
<p>Essien, yes, it’s completely possible to pull it up, and it’ll be easier to do it next year than beyond that because you’ll have fewer credits now, so one good semester can really make an impact on your average.</p>
<p>Most people have a rough transition, especially that first semester, so you are not alone. Now that you’ve learned your lesson about studying, don’t forget it and do your best next year to work a lot harder. Also, take advantage of your free time this summer to study up on what you learned already this year, especially during that first semester, because you will need to know it all as you move forward. Best wishes! :)</p>
