i never failed any classes although i withdrew from 2 classes due to the teachers style didnt fit my learning style… when i retook those classes with other professors i received an A and B+… i wish i didn’t party so much the first 2 years as i could have taken 18 credits each semester and finished early… instead i took 18 credits my last 3 semesters to finish on time (and coincidentally i had my best gpa when i was taken 18 credits compared to slacking off and only taking 12… i might go back and redo a couple classes to bump up my gpa so i can get into grad school though because im only .2 away what do i know though i just graduated saturday with my highest gpa yet (3.793) ---

If you can do it, I HIGHLY reccomed taking classes in summer as they are so much easier, at least that was my experience. Glad I went to college, cause now I’m a used car salesman **FAIL** ---

i failed mechanics of solids with rolland richards, wasnt his fault, i took it again with him and got a C which is still bad but i guess that just wasnt my class The good: the passing grade replaces the failed one The bad: A BIG FAT F IS ON YOUR TRANSCIPT FOREVER ---

I’m pretty sure the grades on my transcript that were replaced just had \*'s, maybe not, or maybe MCC just did it differently. ---

I heard that grades get replaced with the higher one when you retake a class. probably different from school to school. I have never gotten below a B in a class (maybe 4.0 this sesmeter, 21 credits!) but I am still really worried about RIT in the fall… ---

It’s not any harder than MCC IMO, the one class I’m having trouble with(linear algebra, gonna have a C) it really appears that 2/3 of the test questions are a different type than the review questions. They’re solved with a _similar_ principle, but I just can’t figure it out during the test. The rest of the classes are pretty normal, if you can pull a 4.0 anywhere, you’ll do fine. ---

I took stats and calc at GCC and got an A in both. Stats was bareable but I loved calc. that shit just makes sense to me. The physics I am taking (well ‘took’ since I had my final today) isnt calc based so it doesnt transfer, but I think it gives me a little foot hold for ‘real’ physics. Is it lame that I am excited to really learn what makes shit work? lol > [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > You’ll experience private school grade inflation. Don’t worry. care to elaborate a little? ---

Almost 18 credits a semester for 5 years. Took an elective that wasn’t needed and kicked my butt. Got a C+. Still pissed about it. Dual Major and a Minor undergrad and an MBA. After your first real job they just ask for work experience and degree. No one cares if it was a 2.9 compared to a 3.1 or if you failed a course. ---

Stop right there. When you’re done with school you get a degree and hopefully you’ll have some useful experience from a co-op or other work as a student. That is all that a company cares about. If a company is looking through a detailed transcript, something is seriously wrong. ---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ---------- > [@RedGoober4Life](#): > > [http://www.gradeinflation.com/](http://www.gradeinflation.com/) Wow, perfect.

> [@travisn](#): > > As nice as that sounds I doubt my grades in GCC business admin program will be the same in a ME program at RIT, just sayin’ The comparison would be a ME program of a public school compared to a ME program at a private school. I recently read an article about private school grade inflation. I attribute some of it the fact that better students probably thrive to be in better schools. My best guess. ---

Oh yeah, just because everybody is sharing, the worst grade I ever got was a C. I just had a few too many to transfer without retaking some classes.
