What's Your GPA?

<p>3.86 Tulane University want to go to Cornell--biomedical engineering</p>

<p>4.0 at Emory University (Part of Emory Scholars Program) Hoping to transfer to either Yale (waitlisted RD in May 2004), Columbia, or Harvard.</p>

<p>4.0 at a CCC; philosophy/pre-med major.</p>

<p>haha! just got my grades back: 4.0 baby!</p>

<p>wow alot of you guys from community colleges have high gpa's even some around 3.8-4.0 and its very impressive. Do you guys expect to have better GPA better when you go to a university? or does it stay the same or decrease?</p>

<p>I would imagine many GPA's will hold or go slighly down...at least that is the general rule simply because university coursework is supposedly more rigorous.</p>

<p>a big factor as well is courseload. i'm sure some of these 4.0's are coming from 12-14 credit hour schedules. i'm sure universities would like to see rigorous schedules that challenge the students.</p>

<p>i took 14 credits. But i would consider my classes to be normal? Correct me if i'm wrong.... :(</p>

<p>I took </p>

<p>Intro Psych
Writing
Gen Bio
Gen Chem
Gen Chem lab.</p>

<p>I took calculus I but had to withdraw because of a really crappy professor.</p>

<p>How is a 4.0 from a CC compared to like a 3.7 from a top 50 university, from an admissions standpoint?</p>

<p>well according to stanford, for example, they state that they take into account the difficulty of the school you are tranferring from in their admissions process. so a 4.0 in a CC would not be as impressive as from a top-tier school, i would think. exactly how much more advantageous the latter position is i dunno, we dont know the details of the process after all, and its a partially subjective procedure.</p>

<p>CE
3.75 @ UCSD freshman (only 4 classes so far);
total units: 65, including first qtr (17);
2nd qtr units: 18;
thinking about applying to UCLA and UCB next year;
i hear uc to uc transfer is pretty tough tho;</p>

<p>i have 2 q's:
1. what do u think my chances are to get into either Cal or UCLA? and
2. what % of CC and UC transfers do these schools admit? esp interested for UCB</p>

<p>thx =)</p>

<p>o yea, i'm shooting for a 3.75 - 3.85 cumulative by the end of next year.</p>

<p>well i dont know about the rest of "the 4.0's," but the i've carried 16-18 credits for each of the three semesters i've been in college, including 7 honors courses. i think that qualifies as rigorous.</p>

<p>Fall 2004 Transfer Student Profile for Cal:
Average college GPA
(middle 50% of students on a 4.0 scale) 3.56 - 3.91</p>

<p>how is that possible!?!
is it due to the # of CCC transfers they admit?
(not meant to lower any of the CCC 4.oers accomplishments) =0</p>

<p>I had a 3.62 this semester, and shooting for a 4.0 next semester. Cumulative 3.8 (hopefully)...is that good enough for NYU?</p>

<p>3.63 @ Lynchburg College (freshman)
currently 15 credits and 6 from dual enrollment during hs @ comm. college= 21 total credits. Taking 18 credits next semester and shooting for 3.8.
poss. applying next year to Maryland and American (not a definite decision yet)</p>

<p>DO u guys think a 3.71 is a good GPA for ChemE at UCB and UCLA?</p>

<p>My Stats
Current GPA: 3.08 ( Knowing how I am, it will be a 3.54 by the end of the semester!)
Psych/Sociology major (Depending on which College I transfer to, I'll major in one and minor in the other.)
Taking 16 units ( 12 UC Transferrable) at a CCC. I volunteer at the Art museum and I'm looking to get involved with the Junior League. I wanted to take another class but my counselor felt that doing so wouldn't be in my best interest. Looking at the future, I know that I'll be working day and night to be sucessful this semester. </p>

<p>15.5 Semester Units Completed. ( That means that I have to take a transferrable course this summer....or two if I'm not working.....to have the units necessary to transfer in Fall '06 as I desire to.)</p>

<p>I'm looking at UCR, UCSB,UCM, CS Fullerton, and CS San Bernardino at this time. I'm sure about being accepted to everywhere on the above list except for UCSB.</p>

<p>I will apply to my reach/stretch schools: UCLA and UCSD.</p>

<p>I'm a first semester sophmore in UW-Madison, and I got a 2.9. My first sem was horrible, got a 2.0 with 14 cr and my second sem was 3.647, made the deans list.
Applying to georgetown and tufts, got the backing of the dean of students office.</p>

<p><em>whispers</em>
2.5.</p>
