Grades and Grade Point Averages (GPA)

I eat breakfast everyday. My GPA is 2.9

* It doesn`t matter what you think.

*The Rock will take you down Know Your Role Boulevard which is on the corner of Jabroni Drive and check you directly into the Smackdown Hotel!

*Shut your mouth and know your role

*Can you smell what The Rock is cooking!

*[Referring to his 0.7 grade point average in college] "It`s pretty hard to get a point seven. You have to do close to nothing."

*Who in the blue hell are you?

* You will go one on one with the Great One!

*The Rock says

*Finally...The Rock...has come back to [whatever city he`s in at the time]

That will give you a 50%. Pull that grade up!!!

you should be fine with anything higher than a 3.1

2.0 gpa is the most common

I don't know how much you could raise it. I guess it would depend on how low it was and how much better your grades are now. Even if it doesn't improve a big amount, it is still worth it to try. Every little bit counts. Even if you don't have a sky high GPA, colleges may still accept you.

Not all schools require this type of GPA. Because of the number of applicants, yes it may be somewhat competitive however, it's not impossible. You can start with the community college system and obtain your RN. If you wish to pursue a bachelor's in nursing (BSN), you can transfer after completion of the associates degree. Still, read the following as it pertains to the associates in nursing.

First, the associate's in nursing is typically an associate's of science degree (AS). It is designed as a two year program of study once the student enters the professional phase nursing courses. There are some community colleges that do offer an AS in nursing. Courses included - in general - are as follows. * Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II * Microbiology * Chemistry (inorganic and organic and biochemistry) * English Composition I and II * General Psychology * Principles of Sociology * Humanities Electives The above are general education requirements. The professional phase courses are: * Nursing I * Nursing II * Nursing III * Nursing IV Each college may have its own curriculum layout. In addition, nursing programs today are somewhat competitive. You should contact the community college and request information on their admissions requirements. Start with your home county community college. If they do not offer the program, then check with the surrounding counties.

In addition, the cost of a nursing program is expensive compared to other associate degree programs. It is not the tuition as such, but the clinical fees that brings the cost up. Make sure you have your finances in order, and make sure you apply for financial aid assistance if needed.

Lastly, many individuals are going into nursing programs today. In comparison, only a few graduate because of the intensity of the clinical phase. The reason is that they take too much of a credit load. For example, one community college I know of combines Nursing I with Human Anatomy and Physiology II in the same semester. This is too much for most students. I would strongly recommend you complete all of your critical science courses first, and as much of the other general education courses as possible before going on to your professional phase nursing coursework. When you start the nursing courses, you want to concentrate on nursing, and just nursing. This will give you a better chance of completing the program in good form.

A student interested in applying to Marist College should rank in the top half of their graduating class and hold a recalculated average between 3.2-3.7 or better. The quality and difficulty level of each class is taken into account as well. Leadership qualities and high school activities are also important.

It means that you are averaging about 84 to 85 percent (depending on the class, that could be anywhere from a B to an A-) for the combination of all grades from all of your classes.

By getting better grades. Staying on task. Etc....

Yes. If your GPA is above 2.8, 2.9 you may get into a university but to get into a major university you have to have a GPA of about 3.5.

Almost undoubtedly. BSU has some extremely varied quality and students. The student population consists of both the very bright and the very dim, shall we say, and the academics reflect that. There will be extremely comprehensive sections in particular subject and the general studies are quite basic and easy. A 3.0 will absolutely get you in if you are in-state, and almost definitely if you are out of state.

no, not when kids these days are taking honors, APclasses, and dual enrollment and their GPA can reach over a 4.33

It is a test where you find out your GPA (Grade Point Average)

You only need to pass med school.

The person who graduates last in his medical school is still called doctor.

Being a neurologist comes for your residency training after medical school, and therefore has no specific requirements of its own other than graduating from medical school and an internship. By the by the only real requirement for medical school is that you get accepted, and to do that you really only need a bachelors degree and a good MCAT score.

However, once you have completed medical school and internship you may find that neurology is a competitive field to a residency spot for.

B.

A- 4.0

B (3.0-3.9)

C (2.0-2.9)

D (1.0-1.9) Lets not even go there!

Keep up the good work!

It depends on your school. In some schools it does, and in others it doesn't.

No, my friend the GPA can and will open doors that a college name can not. My son is #2 in his class in a third teir law school but he has a job offer with a top 5 National law firm and it was his GPA and work ethic that opened that door.

I disagree to a large extent. The quality of the school very much affects job prospects. For instance, I go to UT for law school, and I was hired for my 1L summer before I got a single grade back. A law firm would never take such a gamble with a UHouston student. Further, the stress and competitive nature of the lower tier schools is exponentially greater than that in "more prestigious" law schools, because the likelihood of getting such a great job is directly dependent on a student's class rank. Going to UTexas, a student can land amazing jobs at top firms while performing average.

If I had gone to the University of Houston (with the full ride that I was offered), I am virtually certain that I would not be in the top of my class. I also know that I would not have had a job opportunity at two top firms as a 1L (and the ability to split 3-ways at 3 top firms my 2L summer) unless I had performed nearly perfectly at South Texas or the University of Houston. To me, the stress that every UHouston student has encountered to be at the very top of his/her class is simply not worth it. At UT, a student can receive a stellar education, enjoy law school without the stereotypical stress of law school, and work at the same top five firms while not worrying about rank. (In fact - UT only ranks by halves - we know if we are in the top or bottom half, as employers do, and that's it!) Once you have passed the bar exam and gotten that first position, the rest fades into history!

2.18 GPA would be equivalent to a "C- to C" grade.

The required grade point average for law school varies from school to school. At UNC School of Law the required GPA for the first year is 2.2, and 2.25 each year after. At The University of Akron, The University of San Diego School of Law, and The University of Michigan Law School you must maintain a 2.0 average. At Lewis & Clark Law School you need to maintain a 1.8 GPA at the end of the first year, and a 2.0 GPA every year after.

To be a competitive student, you need to have at least 3.00( although the requirement needs 2.5). You may be more competitive also if you have a strong grade in math, social science, or science. It depends on which major you are applying to. ^_^
