What is your GPA? (Post deleted by Dennae )  PRINCESS LOUISE: Grade Point Average A is a 5, B is a 4, C is a ect. You add the letters up and divide them by the number of courses taken. Hence you get your GPA (Edited by PRINCESS LOUISE)  bright_light101: Grade point average should have the field of study taken into account! Some fields are techinically a bit less challenging. PRINCESS LOUISE: It's just another tool to weed out those who some think are unworthy of " a piece of the pie". Merely getting a certificate or a degree isn't good enough now. Now the cut off is a predetermined GPA bright_light101: How do you mean predetermined? And i agree; GPA now isn't nearly as sufficient as experience, but it helps if you want to attend grad school. PRINCESS LOUISE: Oh the people who decide these things (elitists for lack of a better word or an expletive) have a set number in mind. bright_light101: yeah, it's really quite sad. They take nothing else into account unless you're a star athlete or a part of the UN (med school particularly). | Education Chat Room Similar Conversations |
