<p>It’s not really scary NuclearPakistan1, haha. It just depends on the difficulty of the course, risks you take (in terms of classes and professors), and your interest in the course subject.</p>
<p>It’s possible to work really hard and get B’s and higher/</p>
<p>Pkmntrainerharry- Usually… Yes that’s what it means. Your cumulative GPA is figured out by adding all the credit points and all the credit hours and then dividing the two. </p>
<p>So. If you miss an A you can’t ever have a PERFECT gpa again. But, if it was only say an A- and only a small number of credit hours, for your cumulative GPA it may end up being something like a 3.995 that could round to a 4.0</p>
<p>Biopsyc 300 A+
Civil War 300 A+
Political Behavior seminar 400 A+
Russian II (6 credits) A</p>
<p>Finishing with style :D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>To add to what the poster above said, if your school uses A+s, then no, you can still get to a 4.0. I’m almost there, even though I have a couple of A-s.</p>
<p>This semester was a bit rough because of one certain class I took where I got a C in because of unexpected circumstances right before the huge final, however since I got 4 other A’s and one A- it brought my GPA to a 3.5. </p>
<p>Will do better next semester…if I get a 4.0 next semester with increased credits and in the type of classes I get A’s in (like the ones I took this semester besides that C one), I’ll have like a 3.8 or so.</p>
<p>Composition and Rhetoric 2 - A
Basic ITM - A
Intro to Sociology - A
Mass Media and Society - AB (because the stupid teacher counts participation as 20% of our grade and I showed up to every class, and 2 my overall grade was 94/100)
Gateways 2 - Satisfactory (it’s this silly course that all freshmen have to take in my school that is only P/F)
Remedial algebra - A (because I haven’t took maths in so long and needed to take it in order to take more advanced maths courses lol)</p>
<p>Spring GPA - 3.888
Cumulative - 3.79</p>
<p>4.0 for the semester, 3.77 cumulative for college (I graduated, too, so that’s really cumulative).</p>

<p>That C+ in statistics/probability hurts. :(</p>
<p>^ I get what you mean man, I had straight 4 straight A’s and 1 B+ but then the C+ I got in another course just ripped my GPA apart for the semester. Oh well, I’m done with that type of class where I got that C+ in anyway.</p>
<p>Calc I - A
Intro to Soc - A
History of Africa (1800 - Present) - A
