<p>I didn't know entitlement had anything to do with grades at Cornell lol.</p>
<p>3.6? boo hoo, cry me a river</p>
<p>All I can say is I'm glad to be done with the Math and Physics departments. God, those grades gave me heartattacks every semester...but I can still do co-op :p</p>
<p>1450/2250...won't talk about it...cry me a river...im still sad, though drunk, mighty drunk...:)</p>
<p>BTW, I had a 1520 on my SAT (old). Dont mean squat.
mmm...drunkity drunk drunk soon</p>
<p>ahaha I don't remember making that post...but I still suggest that you cry about it bball, 'cause if you deserved an A+ you would have got one...this isn't high school.</p>

<p>exactly (ten characters)</p>
<p>I imagine fairly rare, but even receiving one or two a year would balance out some lower grades. Do all professors actually give them??? Do any??</p>
<p>some do. not often, but if you're truly an exceptional student, you'll receive an A+</p>
<p>12:18 PM...still devastated. Devastation doesn't go well with the worst hangover ever.</p>
<p>spanks, it can't be that bad, plus it is only one semster out of 8, cheer up</p>
<p>eh, grades probably hit freshmen the hardest. My GPA went up a whopping 0.02 this semester. WHooohooo!</p>
<p>Oh yea, my roommate pulled off 3 A+'s and 1 A (GPA in the 4.2's) so I think she pretty much owns us all.</p>
<p>everyone owns me, except my friend with a 2.02.</p>
<p>I know the guy with the highest GPA in the senior engineering class. Supposedly he has a 4.29 cumulative</p>
<p>what's the cut off point for academic probation? I'm afraid I may be put on academic probation, what if D+ in a core class? is academic probation based on letter grade or GPA?</p>
<p>I'm not sure how often A+'s are given, but I know that in most intro classes it's not overly difficult to get one.</p>
<p>4.29? That's insane, especially for an engineer. I heard the valedictorian has like a 4.23 or something (maybe that's just CAS). I have a friend in AEM with a gpa above 4.2, but it's AEM, not engineering.</p>
<p>depends on your college shawn, but in general it's below C-.
There are a variety of things that will red-flag you, such as below 12 credits, <1.7 semester GPA, <1.7 cumulative GPA, illegal schedule (like no classes in your particular college), etc.</p>
<p>academic probation isn't a big deal, it just means you're being watched. so if any one of those things happens to you, it's not a big deal. even if you fail one class but still have a GPA over 1.7 and no D+s, i don't think anything happens at all.</p>
<p>but yeah, if any of those things happen to you, you're not going to get put on a leave of absence or anything...if a bunch happen, you might be cruising for more trouble then. either way, a qualitative analysis is done, rather than a simple statement of "you're below X GPA; screw you!" your circumstances are taken into account when action is being decided. if someone died and your city at home was levelled and you broke your leg all in one semester, and you failed some stuff, you wouldn't necessarily be put on a leave of absence, because they take your situation into account.</p>
<p>that's a drastic example, but my basic point is that 1. if you fall into any one of those above catagories, it's not a big deal, and 2. even if you fall into a few of them, it's not explicit leave of absence.</p>
<p>academic probation is more of a status rather than any big deal...besides, if one ends up failing semester after semester, cornell probably isn't the right place for him.</p>
<p>how does one get a D+ in a core class.....is that even possible....i thought that a D+ did not even exist as a grade. What is that like a .75 out of 4.0?</p>
<p>wouldn't it be a 1.25?</p>
<p>because:</p>
<p>A = 4.0
B = 3.0
C = 2.0
D = 1.0</p>
<p>D+ = 1.0 + .3 = 1.3</p>
