<p>At this rate, I don't know where I'm going to get. As much as I love Berkeley, idk if a 2.5 or higher will help me get the jobs I want. Perhaps a smaller school would be different? Grade inflated? like Columbia or Princeton</p>
<p>Yes, I am 100% sure C work at Berkeley will be A work at Columbia.</p>
<p>It sucks getting bad grades, but you’ll get over it. If you let a couple exams determine your future then you are going about life the wrong way, man.</p>
<p>lol you’re cluess/daynight aren’t you?</p>
<p>In the first place, no highly selective college will accept a transfer without a A- average. So, you have no shot at transferring to the Ivy League. (P’ton doesn’t accept transfers anyway.) Secondly, Cal’s mean gpa is not a whole lot lower than that of some colleges known for grade inflation. A’s and B’s are plentiful at Cal in the humanities and social sciences.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Took the words right out of my mouth. And LOL at the idea that Columbia or Princeton would give you better grades.</p>
<p>Princeton and Columbia won’t be any easier . . . the average GPA might be higher but the average kid is also smarter. If you’re struggling to get a 2.5 here . . . even if you do miraculously transfer into a decent small private school, don’t expect any good grades.</p>
<p>this maybe applies more to pre-med majors, but on Berkeley ■■■, someone w/a 3.6 in MCB was complaining about how grade deflation did not work out for this person after having been rejected from all the med schools this person applied to</p>
<p>Great. Thanks guys! No I’m not daynight, and I don’t think I’ve seen cluess post before. I saw daynight’s post and messaged them once. We have our similarities ; ] I guess you could say lol but then I have this similarity with a lot of people. Okay, I guess I’ll stay here then lol</p>
<p>i’m clueless snow they figured out i was daynnight. it’s nice to know someone else is clueless : O</p>
<p>Great . . now we got two bumbling clueless airheads . . . </p>
<p>How’s that irl emotional support and overall getting **** together coming along for you, clueless?</p>
<p>I don’t think transferring would help. I think that practicing better studying practices can help. Try getting into study groups, try taking notes on the chapters you’re covering in class before lecture, try doing assignments earlier. </p>
<p>I’m not sure that will help you, but I know that I would’ve had straight A’s had I done that, and that is what I intend to do next semester.</p>
<p>rofl it’s coming along great. gettin some A’s here and there.</p>
<p>lol I will need a lot of proof to believe that you are not all the same person. Probably wouldn’t believe it even then.</p>
<p>This reminds of this this guy who tried to convince me that he had a girlfriend by IMing me as “Desigirl87” or something. He even typed out a conversation with her so he could show me the chat archive. After I pointed out that the two ‘people’ always signed on and off at the same time, he made a 3rd account thinking that would prove something? And then he made a fake facebook profile and sent me a message from it and didn’t think I would be able to click on the profile and see that the one profile picture there had been uploaded 22 minutes ago. Yup, fun times :)</p>
<p>Actually, Berkeley’s not that hard of a school for most humanities/social sciences (except econ of course) for undergrad.</p>
<p>I’m sure most of the ivy league/stanford/UChic, ect, would have harder classes in political science, history, ect…</p>
<p>Berkeley’s undergrad strength is mostly its sciences. </p>
<p>Though for grad school, I’m sure Berekley is excruciatingly hard for all subjects.</p>
<p>Princeton is definitely not easier… They have a STRICT grade deflation policy - all of their classes are curved to a certain number of As and Bs no matter what.</p>
<p>wow that’s intense flutter! I would never go THAT far lol too clueless…?</p>
<p>
Well, more like each department can only have a certain percentage of As and Bs, but within that department some classes could be graded more generously and some more harshly. But it’s a moot point, because even if Princeton accepted transfers, daynnight wouldn’t be getting in.</p>
