In reply to How do ya calculate GPA?, posted by alexandra_k on October 31, 2004, at 3:53:43
Here's what you do:
1) Take your grades, and with each grade assign a numerical value to it equal to what each letter grade represents numerically.
2) Assess for any mental illness you have endured while you remained in school.
3) Take the numerical value to each grade, sum it to the total numerical value, and divide that total over the number of courses you have taken.
4) Then, take the number of mental illnesses you have been diagnosed with during the time you've spent at school.
5) If the value of total mental illnesses occuring during school exceeds zero, cross out your GPA and start interning for a year out of college somewhere that doesn't require mimimum GPA scores to apply to. (Typically, you can find these at nonprofits desperate to find free labor).
6) By the time you'd done interning, you'll have had a college degree, a year's worth of job experience on your resume, and no one ever asks what your GPA ever was after the first year on the job.
7) Disregard all of this if you're a business major, and consider repeating college-- hopefully in a different major.
That's my plan, 1.3 GPA and all. Depression sucks, but it goes away and before you know it no one remembers to ask your GPA at all.
