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.

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
