<p>Is it tough for freshman to get into the courses they need?</p>

5

<p>^Not if you don't mind an occasional 8 a.m class. My d has found that all those classes (business, sciences, etc...) that are so famously hard for freshman to get usually have slots in the early morning hours.</p>

<p>is it hard to maintain a 3.5 gpa</p>

7

<p>The average GPA at UNC is in the range of 3.1. To add a little more perspective, according to a report approximately 5.6% of UNC students earn a GPA of 3.8 or better and another 17% earn a PGA of 3.5 or better. In other words maintaining a 3.5 GPA would place you in the top 23-24% of a talented student population. Unless you are a very unusual persons, I think you would find that maintaining a 3.5 would require a fair amount of work.</p>

<p>tyr, can you please list the grade per gpa? At UVA a B+ = 3.0</p>

<p>does UNC have A-, B+, B, B- etc? and what are the weights associated with thos grades?</p>

<p>My only evidence is that I took a course there over the summer and got a B+. My gpa = 3.0</p>

<p>Thanks for that link. What you posted is what I thought UVa's was. The quality points thing seemed strange. Didn't really get it.</p>

<p>If the grade you received at UVA is significant to you, you might want to check into it and make sure it was properly reported, at least if the course fell under the College of Arts and Sciences. Here is a link to the grading policies: Academic</a> Regulations - University of Virginia - acalog ACMS™</p>

<p>"Quality Points" for any course is simply the product of multiplying the numerical equivelent of the grade received by the number of credit hours received for the course. Add all these together and then divide by the total number of credit hours and you have your GPA.</p>
