At graduation it was something like 3.0 or 3.1, either way it enough for the state to pay all my college tuition.
I can’t remember, and that freaks me out since I graduated seven years ago. I was Cum Laude, and it was like a 3.4 or so, but that’s only because I took a bunch of honors and AP classes.
31 on my ACT(I had food poisoning too, it’s a great story)
1520 on my SAT
All I remember is that I was in the middle of the pack GPAwise. But look at me now? Oh, wait. I’m still pretty average.
Well, rightfully speaking, it is. It’s those AP (“Advanced Placement”) classes that screw everything up. For the regular curriculum, an A - the highest grade - gets you 4 points, a B 3 points and so on. Add up your points, divide by the number of classes, and you have your GPA. But AP classes are designed to be harder. They’re classes which prepare you to take an AP test in the subject, which earns you college credit as a high school student. Basically, so smarty pants high school kids can get some of their general college ed out of the way before even going to college, and so have more time to take higher level college courses (or waste-of-time electives). In most schools, an A in an AP course gets you 5 points, a B 4 points and so on, averaged in with all the rest. So if you take AP courses you can have a GPA higher than 4.
3.3. My college grade wasn’t that good due to math classes.
3.85
And college will not be mentioned.
My career average was something like 2.6, and that’s with years of A’s in choir and drama and such.
High school - 2.2 (did just enough to pass)
College - Around 3.0 (I need a 3.0 actually, and I have a 2.99 but there are two weeks left in the quarter and I think I brought it up)
ACT stuff - 26 first time (no calculator and slightly hungover), 22 next two times…
I underachieve sometimes…like in HS and the beginning of college…

10.3.
On a twelve-point scale.
My graduate school GPA was 3.96…
4.5 or 4.6, with the extra points for AP classes.
Like DeVena implied, college was quite a different story…
3.94 on an unweighted 4-point scale. I graduated 8th out of about 330.
My college GPA is 4.0 at the moment, but of course there’s time for that to change (I’m a junior).
Didn’t know if the “high GPA= state tuition partially or fully paid” was widely done—my 3.8 earned me 1/2 of my tuition paid at one of the State Universities here in MT (the top 20 GPAs in my graduating class of 490 received this honor, & I was #18—a bunch of smartypantses at my HS too). Since I was graduated in 1976, paying half my own tuition & books was pretty cheap in those days & I was able to work 30 hrs a week while in school & still get it done without loans, even from the folks.
But I was a deadbeat my first 2 years of college and nearly lost the tuition-waive at least twice. However, I got better.

I have no idea. I took a fair amount of advanced classes and still I managed to slip right out of the top 10%, I was 31 out of 289. I had a bad case of senior slide. At the one other college I visited (my father’s alma mater, and still local), the adviser was not impressed. And it was much more expensive than where I actually matriculated (ha! college word!).
I would guess it was somewhere in the 2.75 range (lots of B’s and C’s, with a few A’s and D’s). Probably lower.
3.5 or so (out of 4). Out of all students who got into MIT from my high school in the past decade or so, I had the lowest GPA.
My college GPA is a 4.7, I think (5-point scale).
I’m currently on the high end (I think) of 3.4, with an extra .5 for each of my previous 5 AP classes and my two current. With any luck I’ll finish the year better than that.
SAT? 1560, baby.
2.9 in HS, though I usually just round up to a 4.0
slightly better in college with a 3.2, but again when you round it up…
I don’t remember exactly for highschool but have my university transcripts in my immigration file.
Highschool: about 92%, enough to get me the Governor General’s medal which is collecting dust somewhere (i.e. ranked first out of however many students, I have no clue but probably only a couple hundred).
Undergrad: No cumulative university average is shown but I thought it was about 83%, the final semester was 86%.
Grad school: 3.83
I recall my univeristy ranked highschools to try to equate students applying to the school. I think they may have added or subtracted from your highschool grade. They also had us fill out questionairres and write several essays and added from 0 to 5% to your grade (I think mine was about 3.5%). I don’t think any of the other schools I applied to did either of these things, at least not to the same extent.
When I applied for grad schools in the States they all had a different way of equating the percentage grades to GPAs and used different university courses in the calculation. I can’t remember what any of the calculated GPAs were but I know they all came up with a different number and at least one school was out of 5.0 not 4.0.
2.96 in HS, which somehow entitled me to a Florida Bright Futures Scholarship (which requires a 3.0)
In college, 2.6, but my GPA-to-attendance ration was a full 80% better than anyone else in my graduating class, I bet.
1410 SAT the first time (but I napped a lot)
168 on the LSAT
Ours was out of 5.0 . I don’t remember my overall for the whole shebang, but I usually got ~4.50 to 4.75. Nothing less than an A-, mostly all As and A+s, but I came in second after this girl Maureen who always got almost all A+s. And I missed out on salutatorian to this little shit Nicky who cheated.
They often talk about kids who did well in HS (big fish in a little pond) being overwhelmed in college among all the other superstars, but I did worse and didn’t feel too bad about it. HS came easily so I can’t really take credit for it. College must have been a truer assessment of my skill level.
