your high school grades vs college grades

[sellihca]

how do they differ?

in high school, i got mostly A's and i didn't even try, had only one C during senior year, had a gpa of 3.7+

in college, i started gettting a lot of b's with some A's and a few c's here and there....got focused the last few semesters and started getting more A's than b's but my gpa is still below 3.5

feels bad man.

[Krique]

Went from a 3.2 in high school to a 3.4 now. The problem is that I put in 100x the effort now.

[ronnie09]

high school -failed as fuk
uni-dropped out as fuk

epic fail

[exy]

A's and B's.

[Erik2806]

dicked around in highschool and got a 3.2

with college, im not playing a sport every season like before, just one..so put alot more time in and have a 3.6

[PlasticTrees]

Highschool: 10% effort - 95% average

University (only one semester so far lulz): 30% effort - ~3.7

I still don't have to put a ton of work in at university.. more then highschool but it isn't so bad. I slack most of the semester and then cram before midterms and finals, it's worked good so far.

[0rangeBlast]

High School pretty much everything from A's to D's lolz

College all A's and B's

[_FNG_]

high school GPA ~2.3
Army for 3 years
college GPA 3.78
Grad school gpa 3.75

Best decision I've made to date

[MrAWatts]

Didn't finish highschool. I hated waking up to go someplace that sucked 5 days a week, doing work I didn't care about, and being around people I didn't like. I stopped going beginning of junior year. In uni I have a 3.75

[MayhemMaker]

High scool - didn't think about the future / care at all = 2.7

Went to community college for a year, thought "wow where the hell is going to a community college going to get me in life? Mentality changed, got a 3.7 that year, now at university aiming for a 3.3 this semester, want to keep 3.5+ and go to grad school

[alpha_rower_1]

H.S. 4.0

UNI 4.0 but this semester probably be 3.75+

a community college can actually get you goin places. Plenty of them have programs that offer on-the-job training or at least stuff you need to know (and a piece of paper) to differentiate yourself in the job market. Then some got programs where you get in the medical field and can make a pretty comfortable living for yourself.

HS - 2.2 GPA
College - 2.7 GPA

I can count to potato.

[winterwind_23]

I had close to a 4.0 in high school, and I only tried half as hard as I am now. I'm giving it my best in college, but I only have a 3.2 or so. Feels bad, yes.

[garsome]

highschool 2.1
College 3.5

This. It seems that the misc has the highest population of geniuses than any other forum on the internet.

[Culebra]

H.S. graduated top 10 (not 10%) of my class
College - straight D's and F's

(srs)

Edit: My H.S. is also one of the top 100 h.s. in the U.S. which isn't really saying much but... w/e

wtf happened brah?

[bernbabybern820]

Highschool gpa: 1.6 (srs)
college gpa:3.4 (but expect to graduate next semester w/ honors)
accelerated nursing program: (???)

it's all about the effort you put into your work. Still have no idea how I got that gpa in hs. I'm Asian too. Class rank was like 200 out of 214. It should give anyone hope that they can bounce back from crappy high school grades.

HS - 2.2 GPA

[Twerkitbaby]

I got straight As and a scholarship to Uni in Leaving Certificate, state examination after "high school".

My first year of law I was lucky to make 1 lecture per week, had horrible depression and drinking problems and never worked. Scraped a 2:2 in 1st year exams, narrowly passing 2 subjects.

Second year I copped onto myself and got a few 1sts and 2:1s, except land law, which I despised and did **** in.

Finals was on course for 1st in year with high 1st then let my foot off the pedal.

The main difference for me is that you know what is expected in exams in school, and especially in Maths and science there is little or no interpretation. In law the questions can be vague, one lecturer could want something different to another in an answer, the external marker could want something else.

I have always gotten 1sts though in large essays and my thesis as these had a well defined question and enough room to flesh out all my arguments.

high school-3.0
college-----2.7

[tts0lid]

was running with the wrong people in high school and generally didn't give a shit about anything.. graduated with a 2.3
cc for 2 years = 3.8
2 years in university = 3.5 overall GPA

now in grad school.

if i could go back i'd slap myself in high school. i had SAT scores to qualify for 100% tuition scholarships anywhere in the state, but my gpa was a 2.3....
