General - What is your GPA? - View Post

High school: 3.8

Undergrad: 2.4

Grad School: 3.7

High school was easy, I actually flat out told teachers I wasn't going to do a lot of my homework because I already knew what was going on and they surprisingly accepted that (it was a podunk high school where if you could walk and chew gum you were ahead of the curve). 

In college, it was quite a change because I went from never having to study or doing homework to actually having to try, study, and do homework.  I failed most of my classes my first year and ended up having to do five years (5th year - victory lap).  Add on to that after about my sophomore year I stopped caring about my major and didn't know what I wanted to do.  My advisor was no help so I just trudged on.  I didn't care about my majors so I didn't really try.  So, stupid low GPA in undergrad.  I only really ever did just enough to pass.

In grad school, I somehow got in and actually cared about what I was doing, actually tried and worked hard, and had a good GPA.
