Note to Frosh about checking grade on BearFacts:

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Bearfacts only updates you grades at 7 am. Checking it every 15 minutes is pointless and only serves to crash BearFacts.</p>

<p>I figured someone should spread this message, so I decided to.</p>

2

<p>thank you…well that wasted at least a combined 5 minutes of today.</p>

3

<p>Correction, bearfacts updates at 6am, not 7am.</p>

4

<p>The bearfacts website says:</p>

<p>

</p>

5

<p>Well than I guess the 2 times I checked at 5:58am and it wasn’t up and than at 6:02am my grades for Bio 1A/L was up was just a fluke I guess ;)</p>

6

<p>thanks for the fyi - especially since bearfacts is ridiculously slow now…</p>

7

<p>it is either 6 or 7 for sure, not 8. I know because my IB 160 grade was up today at 7:30</p>

8

<p>makes me wonder how many people must be on bearfacts to actually crash it. if it’s several thousand than berkeley students are pretty neurotic about their grades…</p>

9

<p>All I have to say is, calm down. They’re just your grades.</p>

<p>Once you’re done with the finals, your grade is pretty much “sealed”. What difference does it make whether you find out today or three weeks later? Logically, it makes pretty much no difference.</p>

<p>I personally had a rough semester and would actually prefer not to know my grades too soon. Don’t want to freak out (and when I say that, I mean it - possibility of D’s and F’s).</p>

<p>Step back and relax – you’re done with finals. A great break awaits.</p>

10

<p>Some people just can’t relax until they find out what their grade is.</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>They should get some counseling ;)</p>

<p>

.</p>

<p>It is not several thousand, probably a lot lower.</p>

<p>Berkeley’s net infrastructure is old and ****ty. It surprises me that the EECS department hasn’t been trying to get Berkeley to upgrade it.</p>

<p>What’s your GPA, bro?</p>

14

<p>In past terms I’ve had dreams in the morning about me getting up to check BearFacts and checking my grades…</p>

15

<p>I’ve had recurring dreams like that too.</p>

16

<p>I’ve had the exact same dream and, actually, had it this morning.</p>

17

<p>Yeah I have dreams of checking bearfacts and having it show that I got an F. Those are the worst dreams ever…hmm my life is very pathetic hahhaha</p>

18

<p>^^^^ cases in point</p>

19

<p>■■■■■ i’ve had dreams too =/ at least 2 about Bio 1A grades this morning ugh.</p>

20

<p>You guys dream about your grades? Really? I’m usually surrounded by about 15 Victoria’s Secret models in mine.</p>
