Why final grades suck.

<p>Your final gpa of each year is all colleges look at, not the quarterly gpa.</p>

<p>I have gotten straight A's all year, so my final uw gpa will be a 4.0 at the end of the year. </p>

<p>Another person in my class has gotten 4 or 5 B's throughout the year, but all in different classes. If he gets straight A's this quarter (or at least A's in every class he has only gotten one B in), he will get a final uw gpa of 4.0.</p>

<p>Essentially, I did more work but at the end of the year none of it will matter.</p>

<p>Not necessarily. Since he had a B, he had to do more work to bring up his A to a B, so it balances out, really.</p>

<p>Our school has two semesters in each year and both of those grades are what the colleges see. You have an odd school if your transcript only shows one grade each year.</p>

<p>^ It’s not that odd. I’ve heard of a lot of schools, mine included, that do it that way.</p>

5

<p>I want it that way! I don’t like semesters.</p>
