GPA Examination

However, junior year of high school changed that: I was given the opportunity to take either AP Psychology, or AP European History. I felt that the obvious choice would be to take AP European History, since I’m European and therefore already had a solid foundation for succeeding in the class, but something inside me told me to take a blind leap of faith and choose AP Psychology instead. This choice proved to be one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. Through this class, I emerged myself into the world of psychology and fell in love with it. I didn’t complete the assignments to get a good grade. I completed them because I cherished every minute of it, and I started applying the materials learned in class to real life

Furthermore, one of my most challenging experiences was maintaining a 3.0+ GPA in school while attending Oakland Community College in the Dual Enrollment Program. It was a tough situation to be in, due to the excessive amount of work I had to do for both high school and college. Every week I had to complete a chapter of my book, which consisted of long sections using words that I have never even heard of in my life, the prolonged chapters were followed by a required one to two-page essay that was due the next week or else it was considered late. Now keep in mind that these essays were a huge part of my overall grade, so I am embarrassed to say that out of the ten chapters, about four or five of them were late, but the reason for that is because

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

Many high school students, including soon-to-be high school graduates, underestimate how crucial it is to be educated and informed on this subject matter. Unfortunately, teenagers today don’t take what teachers, counselors, and parents say seriously in regards to their education. Not knowing that this will define their placement in college, therefore, affecting their future. Your Grade-Point-Average (GPA) will reflect how well you performed academically throughout high school. The higher your GPA, the better chance you have to receive scholarships and government funding that will help pay your tuition and decrease your debt in the future. That is why we must teach on how making an effort and working on your grades is very important. This will define who you become in the future, what college you are eligible to attend, how much debt you will incur,

To figure out the likelihood of a high school football player’s success in college over 100 high school head football coaches were surveyed about their views on qualities high school football players need to move to the next level. The surveys were mailed, emailed, and followed by several phone calls if no response was received within four to six weeks. All coaches surveyed were members of the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and have had high school football players recruited by division one colleges within the last five years. The survey questions sought the following details about the football players: (1) Academic ability; (2) Athletic ability; (3) Self-determination; (4) Character; (5) History of overcoming adversities. Lastly, the end goal after the surveys have been collected and evaluated is to offer high school football players valuable information about what is needed to be considered for a four-year college scholarship.

Colleges can consider high school GPA as the alternative for test scores. Almost all of the schools during admission completely overlook high school GPA. William C. Hiss, a principal investigator of Defining promise, declares “High school grades matter, and they matter a lot” (Maitre, par.2). It is not fair for many students like Ms. Casimir, a sophomore attending Wake Forest University, who scored 1580 in SAT. This was “an embarrassment” as she graduated high school “with a 4.0” (Simon, par.10). Her dreams to go to “Cornell” and “Davidson” was shattered but yet she was admitted by the “Wake Forest University which gave her full ride without seeing her SAT score and she has 3.2 GPA now” (Simon, par.10). It’s not a miracle as diligence and

Should or should not grade point average determine whether who is allowed to attend any Ivy League college? Grade point averages, also known as GPA, start in high school. Everyone knows a 4.0 is the perfect GPA. A good decent standard GPA is either a 2.25 or a 2.5. Those GPA’s are the minimum of what most colleges accept and other high-ranking colleges accept 3.0 GPA’s a minimum or higher. Some students attend class every day and do the work but sometimes not always get the best grade because some people aren’t very good with certain subjects and that will lower your GPA and ruin your chances into getting into a good college. Not saying every college isn’t a good college, but a lot of students want to get into big universities such as, Texas

I am appealing the admission decision on my transfer application because I feel that my GPA from my previous university, Georgia Institute of Technology, does not accurately reflect my potential at Florida State. There were extraneous circumstances that affected my GPA at Georgia Tech, and I feel my test scores and high school performance show a more accurate representation of my performance as a student.

As you will see I received a 493 on my MCAT exam, this was a low score which did not reflect my efforts to prepare for the exam.However, this number does not exemplify my potential as a student and a future phsyician. Although numbers can predict trends, none of these number my MCAT nor GPA show the individual I am and the type of physician I will become. While I may not be able to retake my MCAT now, I can assure you that I will be a phsyician with a patient-centered care focus primarlity in underserved populations. I ask that you look beyond my score and to me as an applicant. I am confident that with my background, experiences and education at Howard Univeristy College of Medicine, if I am granted the opportunity, I will become a competent,

There are two things that go into making an excellent scholarship candidate, and they are a person’s overall GPA and their service to the community. Caring about others is an imperative attribute to a nurse’s career. I recognize that my weakness is my grade point average only being a 3.17 at this point in time, but my leadership, community service dedication, and adaptability capabilities are very strong. For example, my first semester as a peer tutor, I was asked to take on a tutee that has a medical condition disabling his ability to read and write. This was a task that many did not want to take on, but I have a lot of respect for the person I tutor and they are doing very well. I had to learn to adapt to their style of learning and read

I was not able to achieve a 2.5 GPA because money was the problem. I been worrying about it since college started. I didn’t want to take loans, but loans were the best option for me. Paying loans made worry because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pay it back. I felt bad that my parents were helping pay for my college, and I constantly look for scholarships that can help me pay for college. I been to stress out about paying for college, it didn’t make realize that I should work hard in college. In addition, the transition from high school to college was a big transition from me. First term of college was one of the hardest term for me. I took college too lightly and slacked off. I did not study as much as I should and did not go to the library to study. Instead I went out to hang out with friends and played games. I

I, Hannah Brennan, epitomize the sense of Academics. I endeavor to take countless classes that will benefit me in my college career. All the while I take those classes, I strive to do my homework and study in order to keep my grade point average as high as I possibly can. I love science and math classes because I know that those will help me more in the future, but I try my hardest in all the classes I take and never try to slack off. I have a fear of getting a lower grade point average which in the end forces me to work harder because my GPA determines how I do in my classes. Keeping a 4.0 GPA is not a struggle since I study as much as I can. I manage to balance this between my extracurriculars by doing the necessary skill of managing my time

I know that I cannot further allow myself to succumb to thinking about existential crises most of the time as it will complicate my every day functioning: I would look up to my room’s ceiling, pay no attention in class, respond rather absentmindedly to requests and questions. And yet, I verily think that it is significant to settle them first. There are still questions that I haven’t asked yet, albeit I see that the task is tiring. Sometimes, I will subconsciously burst into tears in the thought of having no specific direction in life, unlike the others who were oozing with perseverance and dedication in their chosen paths. Moreover, I wake up each day just to get through it, and for the next, and for the other next. There is no sense of purpose. The institutions – in the likes of my family, the University, and the society where I am situated – were constant in imposing their regulations and conventions on me, and how I am enraged that I seemed to be deprived of time to pause and think for myself. I feel fatigued of thinking that I cannot withdraw from such reality that I supposedly need to abide to the demands of my family, the University, and to the society. Hopefully, one day, I can find what I am most passionate about; what are my obligations, as a human, to the others and to myself; and especially, to find out when I can rest and hear these words of encouragement, “You’ve done great. Now, take a long

During the years I assisted high school, I never understood the impotence in good grades or a strong GPA. Being an immature teenager, I did not take school seriously. My academic decisions were extremely poor. When I realized the mistake I made and wanted to change my grades around, it was far too late. My records of high school display my past.

At the beginning of the semester, my goal was to maintain a GPA of at least 3.5. Although it may not look like my goal will be reached, there is still plenty of time and to do well on my remaining assignments. I feel that I put in a great amount of work into my courses, but the key idea is to translate my effort into the grades I want. I currently have a few commitments outside of school that take a great deal of effort, but I try to avoid having them interfere with my school work. The bulk of my important assignments are in April as everything is a back to back major assignment.
