High School Student Graduates with 8.07 GPA

[Software]

I didn’t even know you could do that

Some of these states have some weird GPA measurements. Apparently in Florida if you take classes at a community college those classes can double or triple your GPA in their calculations.

It’s getting insane.

At the schools around here AP classes give you the chance to earn a 5.0 for that grade but that’s not enough to push your overall GPA up that high because of all those other 4.0s you received the prior 3 years.

Because of that most colleges will take your transcript and convert it to a standard GPA scale and not use what the high school gave you.

Yep exactly it's grade inflation. They really need to standardize this shyt back to a 4.0 scale for college admissions and just put emphasis on looking at the classes they took in high school. Because it's ridiculous. Congrats to the girl for doing all this

High school is quite literally pointless to me tbh. most of the things you learn there you can learn by middle school, and with dual enrollment i believe the average competent high schooler with like a 3.0 can take the basic intro courses (which is just HS math/science etc. all over again). most teenagers would have more meaningful time at a job or program than basic ass high school, but thats for the most part and yadda yadda

but I know in my case im pissed I didnt do dual enrollment, probably could've finished college in half the time at half the cost.

My high school didnt even offer dual enrollment when i was there.

All we had were a few AP classes and nikkas who were leaving school for job corps.

Honestly if we had dual enrollment back then my GPA would have been higher because core courses at community colleges are actually much easier than high school AP courses. I learned that shyt the hard way.

People mock tiger mom shyt but, life is a competition. If you can't compete you will be left behind. congrats to her and the parents.


We already decided when we have kids we will have them involved in so much shyt and constantly having stuff to do that it will hard for them to find time to bullshyt. Musical instrument lessons, sports, tutoring, etc. On the weekend they can hang with friends and take a break.
