The school my son is matriculating into requires a 3.5 gpa each semester to keep on scholarship. A B+ is a 3.33; a D+ is a 1.33.



A B+ is a 3.3 and D+ is a 1.3 here…my scholarship requires a 3.0 but the D+ is one of 5 grades for the semester so it was ok. Wow a 3.5 is extremely high as a minimum requirement! I hope he’s not a science/engineering major because that will be awfully hard. Freshmen year I had a 3.8 GPA but thats since I only took liberal arts classes. I’m hoping for an A this summer, I can’t lose that scholarship!

I’ve played intra-mural volleyball for the past 2 years…that’s how I met a lot of my friends. The thing is, sports and clubs are fun during the day but Thurs/Fri/Sat night is when people really go out in college, and they don’t go to the gym for volleyball unfortunately Everything is so expensive here - even the McDonalds here is much more expensive than at home. Instead of dollar menu it’s like a $5 menu haha.

Thanks for teaching me the quote box! Good luck to your son in college, he must be really smart to consistently keep his grades that high.
