<p>I think I'm gonna get like 3.5~
fml</p>
<p>what do ppl usually get in their freshman year?</p>
<p>lol hey that’s better than what I’m looking at (3.0, I think), and I am also a freshman. :P</p>
<p>a 3.5 is really good IMO. most people wish they did that well.</p>
<p>ah… you see, Im shootin for law school…
■■■ I shouldn’t have procrastinated</p>
<p>2 days until Astro C10 midterm and I still need to watch like 7 lectures ■■■</p>
<p>i had a 2.0 it’s pretty hard to come back from.</p>
<p>I understand your concern. Anything under a 3.8 causes this sort of existential horror in me, I mean, I can’t even consider graduating with a GPA under that. Feelings of extreme guilt occur whenever I’m not doing work. There are, however, two medications which alleviate this constant worry: exercise and drinking. As a result, I lead a very contradictory life.</p>
<p>Enjoy your unrelenting anxiety. And wear those bags under your eyes like a badge of honor. They make you look distinguished, trust me.</p>
<p>2 days gives you 48 hours to watch about 7 hours of lecture. not too bad.</p>
<p>are you *****ing about a 3.5? good god. I had below a 3 freshman year. ■■■■.</p>
<p>You started a thread like this??? If you are in a cream puff humanities major like Mass Comm or American Studies than consider giving yourself a slap in the face.</p>
<p>No need to be so mean…
Maybe he is shooting for Haas and needs a 3.7 average</p>
<p>Hey LH, what’s considered a good gpa for an IB major? or a pre-med in general actually?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yea, maybe you’re cool with attending Hastings.</p>
<p>I actually took a classics class that was supposedly easy. The professor wasn’t really clear on what you needed to do to get a good grade and I ended up with a B, which then dropped my GPA by a LOT. It was just really unfair and extremely subjective.</p>
<p>It’s not all about the GPA. Stop worrying so much.</p>
<p>@stly: A B dropped your GPA? Damn, dude…What kind of 3.7+ are you pulling?</p>
<p>Yeah, I took 19 units (12 technical units) my first semester as a freshman. Little wonder why I got an inkling above 3.0. Then the next semester I took 17 units (12 technical units) and got a 3.0 again. ********.</p>
<p>a 3.5 isn’t bad at all, considering you have 7 more semesters to go! I think if one is applying to law school, he/she should methodical in their approach in picking and choosing classes (and majors). Don’t do engineering if you want to attend a prestigious law school, unless you’re good at that kind of stuff. If you have your mind SET on law school, pick classses/majors that will boost that 3.5 to a 3.99!</p>
<p>don’t grad schools realize it if you’re taking easy classes to boost your GPA? lol. or else everyone could do it and inflate their gpa…</p>
<p>nope i guess they don’t.</p>
<p>don’t they? LOL</p>
<p>i thought for medical/dental schools they did…</p>
<p>aren’t you pre-med LH? why aren’t you directly applying to med school? just curious.</p>
<p>also, to clarify:</p>
<p>So do med schools care if we go to a difficult school like Berkeley? Do they take it into account?</p>
<p>And, if we take easy classes to boost our GPA are they going to notice this? Or do they just care about the pre-med courses? Or do they just look at the number basically?</p>
