lol, yeah you better treat each semester like its the one that counts - because it does. youre paying alot of money, so repeating courses or getting C's will screw you up. Make sure you see a counselor before every semester and that you come up with a roadmap of what you want to do in life. nothing like spending 2 years on courses that wont count for shit.

wtf is IB? I did AP and honors for a lot of high school classes but i never even heard of IB.

yep, a bunch of people don't think about C's either (good point mad). Some majors, you need a 3.0 to graduate with, so it'd be hard to recover from a 2.1 for example. Many cases, the major requires a C or better in a class in order for it to count for your major. So you may technically pass with a C- and not fail it, but you'd have to take it over again b/c your major requires the higher grade.

IB is like a harder AP

interesting...thnx.

thats how my major is. I need a C- to get credit for any elective. For courses I need for my major I need a Solid C to get the credit.

[quote="Unknown_Sniper":58fa5]then your friends aren't that smart. Every semester of college its as important to not fail as the next. Hell I knew a freshman this year who failed out after his first semester. Do you know how fucking hard it is to do that? In one semester he managed to fuck up his GPA and get a .5.[/quote:58fa5]

wouldn't it be the other way around? they are that smart because they can still slack off and stay above the required marks?

no it wouldnt be the otehr way around. He said his friends said teh first year doesnt matter, this is not true. IT doesnt matter if they can stay above the minimum marks or not. The whole idea of the first year not counting doesnt fly seeing how it is college and you are shelling out at least 15 grand a year and in some cases 50,000 to be there.
