<p>@dfree124 I care about Rusty’s grades. He’s too humble to reveal them, though. </3</p>
<p>No, no, we’ve heard Rusty’s grades. They’re in another no less obnoxious thread.</p>
<p>@Gram: I at least deserve 2/10. dfree is much more sensible.</p>
<p>The 1/10 was for dfree, good man.</p>
<p>Rusty is just jealous…
PS-- Psst…rusty…I have a 4.8…</p>
<p>Just kidding I really don’t. Don’t let this GPA thing get to you. Those people who boast about having a 4.8 will realize they have a 3.7 when colleges redo their GPA. They’ll get what coming for them. It’ll be okay.</p>
<p>@Rusty - I expect a celebration for my KDR tonight.</p>
<p>Rusty, you suck at CoD, don’t you?</p>
<p>^ haha I wonder if he complains about that to other people when he’s playing :/</p>
<p>Too late…I wonder what a real life conversation with you would be like…</p>
<p>I actually agree with you on that one Rusty. Points per minute is a much much better way of judging how good someone is at CoD. I don’t play too much anymore, but in BO I had like a 2 KD, but 300 points per minute in domination. While a KD of 2 isn’t bad, 300 PPM was where I shined cause that showed that I played the objective and didn’t just camp for kill streaks.</p>
<p>Rusty, to equate KDR to GPA in terms of significance is ludicrous, and you know it. I’m sorry that your GPA isn’t something you’re proud of. Would you say winning a sports match is more significant than getting an A? Also, if you’d like, we can consider rank instead. Rank puts you in the context of your school, which is certainly meaningful. While GPA may not have a lot to do with intelligence (but in many cases it does), it absolutely reflects a strong work ethic and dedication to school work. Is that something to be tossed aside? I think not.</p>
<p>@Gram: My apologies. Carry on.</p>
<p>As the great dfree would say, citation needed. </p>
<p>Perhaps straight As are not too hard, but what about straight A+'s? Where do your standards lie? Also, you didn’t address my rank question. It’s impossible for a vast majority of people to be ranked in the top 5 of their class, so tell me: is a high class rank impressive to you?</p>
<p>Except that’s not the case, Rusty. I think you’re expecting high school to require as much as work as college. The majority of students do not have exceptional work ethic, SAT or ACT scores that you claim to have so I understand you may feel frustrated with individuals’ complaints. You shouldn’t say anyone can get all As because that isn’t true. Just because a class is labeled regular doesn’t mean it’s an easy A. You really need to accept that. Your complaints about people’s GPAs, ACT scores, and how intelligence is correlated with whatsoever makes you sound ignorant. Accept that everything in the world is not how you view it should be.bAlso, if regulars are where anyone can get an A, why don’t you have a 4.0 or even a 3.8, 3.9?</p>
<p>Guys what is it with these grades over 100. Really? If I was an admissions officer I don’t see how I would take any transcript like that seriously. Grade inflation, ugh. </p>
<p>Rusty84, I’ve seen you around these threads for a few weeks now and please tone it down. You seem like a very talented kid with a lot of potential, don’t dilute yourself with arrogance. You’re still in high school bub. Assuming you craft good college applications and end up in the right college, academics won’t always be easy and you won’t be very well liked with the attitude you display on this forum. Understand that difficulty is relative and a huge part of doing well is simply knowing how to approach academics. Often that requires proper guidance that very few are lucky to have. Many students also lack your confidence and interest. I haven’t always been a great student, I’ve been able to work through it and find my groove. That is not a good indicator of my intelligence, however, just my determination and work ethic, which has its flaws. Intelligence is definitely a factor in academics, however it’s impossible to quantify since there are many aspects to it. IQ is measured by a test that one can either prepare for or that is easier for someone who’s very school oriented and simply used to taking many tests. In fact as with anything in psychology there are many confounding factors that contribute to intelligence and it doesn’t exactly correlate in a straight line with academics. Rather, it can be represented as a scatter plot with a general trend.</p>

<p>Haha it’s a bit of a sham, I was getting 97ish on tests after studying for chem olympiad, and my grade was at 98 after taking the final. But then my teacher, cuz almost every other student was at 60-90% grade gave us 25 extra credit points in a weighted category to take a Pilot AP Chem exam. I was like -__- way to just boost everyones grade…but still the only a+ so i aint complaining… just feels fakish</p>
<p>I fail at estimating my grades 
I just saw the real ones today. </p>
<p>APUSH-A
AP Lang- B
APES-B
Trig Honors-B
Physic Honors-B
AP Psych-A
Weighted GPA-4.5388
I’m a slacker compared to the rest of you -___- The funny thing is, at school, everyone’s impressed with them. (We pass around the report cards at lunch.) Here, I look like a failure because I have “easy” APs (such an oxymoron lol) with Bs in them. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>4.5 GPA with mostly Bs? lolwut how does that even work?</p>
<p>^ Yea, that doesn’t make sense. My jimmies are so rustled right now.</p>
