what's a GPA

#13
Danny

Frags

grade point average

turns a grade like an A into a score and averages across all semester classes.
A (above 90% in the course) - 4.0
B (80-89.9%) - 3.0
C (70-79.9%) - 2.0
D (60-69.9%) - 1.0
F (0-59.9%) - 0.0

Cumulative GPA (all semester average) is used for grad school/internship/job applications

cool

so the most common GPA is around 2?

#25

tends to be around 3

many majors don't give you credit for a course if you get below a B, so it lifts the average

i dont have exams and hardly any coursework I am marked on, and EVERY exam and piece of work is marked as pass or fail. It doesnt even matter how well I do. Also my exams in january are formative so they dont matter at all to my grade at the end of the year.

Is it like that the whole time, or does it get harder later on

#53

Well the only way it gets harder is with the practical aspect. In the UK, in my final year of medical school, I have to do an exam (which is just pass or fail btw) to graduate which is split into the theory, called the akt, and the practical test, called OSCEs. For the theory part, everyone just spams question banks and flashcards to pass that easily. the practical half is where most people stumble because you get tested on interacting with patients who are either acting or have real medical conditions so you need to do everything right to get good marks on that. It's quite stressful, from what I've heard. I'm only on my second year out of five but all my exams, including my final theory exam, are all multiple choice. However, the theory section on the ukmla is way way way easier than any of the steps for the usmle, to make a comparison. Step 2 of the usmle is a much harder version of the applied knowledge test in the ukmla. As far as coursework and stuff goes, I will have some stuff next term and in later years where I have to do projects involving clinical research or quality improvement but apart from that, it's not very challenging. Overall, right now, things are very easy. The hardest parts right now are getting sign offs done on clinical placements and doing daily reflection/engagement logs. But it will get harder once more is expected from us, either in our practical skills (being given more responsibilities or roles on placements) or with how much we need to know.

ok med school makes more sense, I hear that is pretty standard nowdays
getting into med school proves you are a good student anyways with the standard GPA requirements

The final I got an A on was actually Data Structures & Algorithm Analysis (my school combines them into one)

That class was legit so awful lmao. I'm glad that I'm just getting a CS minor so I don't have to take Computer Architecture, I hear that's even worse

Quick Question here my high school doesn't do weighted gpas but is a 3.6 a good gpa?

Taking AP chem and APUSH

3.6 with challenging classes is pretty decent. Depending on SAT scores you could probably get a merit scholarship at most state schools
