The First Semester of Grad School, Finito


I got 2 A's and a B. That brings my grad school GPA to a 3.66. (IUP does not do A- or B+ grades like UD, so there's a little less inflation here.) I was really hoping I could pull off a 4.0, but eh...I'll live. I have some mixed emotions here- I really did work my ass off in all the classes. I really was hoping for a 4.0. And the B kills it, and makes it impossible for me to ever have a 4.0 accumulative in grad school. I'm pretty disapointed, but I also know that I really did all I could do.

 

The funny thing is that I got the B in the class I thought I'd get an A in, and the A in a class I was sure I was getting a B in. I think if it had been the other way around I could handle this better.

 

Still, it's a good semester, and a 3.66 GPA is pretty good, considering the grading scale at IUP, so I am pleased with myself. I made it through that first semester.

It's good to hear you're doing so well. I know it isn't as well as you'd hoped, but know you're competing at a completely different level than undergrad. 3.66 is quite an achievement.

Thanks. Plus IUP doesn't do grade inflation the way UD does, so there's that as well.

At least this now means that the subject you need to work harder in is the one you like :)

 

And I think that 3.66 is pretty damn good. Well done
