What is your GPA in your college degree course?

I graduated with a 4.9 out of 5.0 from a Business Degree majoring in accounting. Near perfect scores in every single class that I took at Harvard. No it was not an easy course it was hard work and many hours of study. I have had to turn down so many employment offers because my scores are too good. I tell them make me a better offer. I have  knocked back all the big 4 accounting because the pay they offer is a joke. I say triple that pay and I might consider it.

I might even do another university course for the lulz. Law or Engineering?

Huh?

i am not in college, but my gpa last quarter (9 weeks) was a 3.96

LOL 

OT: What does GPA stand for?

grade point average

example: in four course worth four credits each you finish with an A+, A, B, D

 ((9 x 4) + (8 x 4) + (5 x 4) + (1 x 4)) divided by total credits (16)  equals 5.75 gpa on a 9 point scale

/end thread. Steven787 wins.

Don't show off about something when it can be disproved by a thread that is only a few days old. Besides if it is true did you honestly expect to walk into a $1,000,000 a year job straight away, employers judge on experience and reputation much more than grades. Most of the Oxford and Cambridge graduates I know had to start in crap jobs with no pay, like anyone else. Fair enough they are more sucessful now.

OT: I have no idea about GPA - I think that is american, but mine is around 68% average I would guess.

Most US colleges work on a 4 point scale.

A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.

Many schools no longer have D's.

Many schools have switch in recent years to a plus/minus system.

Type 1: A-/B+ = 3.5
Type 2: A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33
Type 3: A- = 3.75, B+ = 3.25

Most schools do not have an A+, some do it's usually 4.25 or 4.33

Some schools have percentile scales (in addition to percentile rankings) others, still, have other GPA scales.

Harvard use to have a very odd 15 point scale which made it almost impossible to compare GPAs with other schools.

When I applied to law school, there was a Law School Admission Council which converted all the grades from school to school in to a uniform GPA. It's likely, that many graduate and professional schools weigh GPAs from different undergraduate schools according to rank or perceived quality.

I graduated with a 2.3 GPA. And I nearly didn't graduate.

this is worth a ROFL on the scale of LOL

Internet addiction..........yeah, I dealt with that before. First year. Man, was that bad. That's over with now (I hope, lol).

It's around 3.2 now..........up more than 2 points from 1st year.
