2.85 or so here (BS Geophysics). I put in tons of study time despite my multiple jobs... However, some classes still just outright kicked my ass, regardless of the time invested. It just seemed *impossible* for me to have done better than I did, given the knowledge at-hand. (ie: "Oh well this problem had a trick from a very advanced version. Someone got it so I'm gonna count it." And some dude with Pi on his shirt nearby would look pleased with himself) But I tell you, I worked my ass off so I could break 3.00 (which was nice to have on a resume; 3.00+), but I never pulled it off. I'd always hit a snag and it pissed me off.
The other folks getting my degree were either around where I was gradepoint-wise or they were making a spotless 4.0 because they were god damn geniuses. Seemed like NOBODY out of my group was in the 3.0-3.9 range... From my experience, GPA is a combination of time invested as well as intelligence. Then it breaks down to professor tendencies and the class itself (higher level classes like 400-level tend to be more forgiving than basic ones). This one dude I went to college with was easily the smartest dude in Saudi Arabia in his graduating high school class (or whatever you call it over there). He *MASTERED* English in two years, enough to where he could detect and deliver his own sarcasm. The guy waited until the night before doing homework and never cracked a book to study for tests (his roomie made note of this. Both of them were Geop). That guy made a 4.0 every semester with complete and utter ease. College was like a game to him =( There was an older dude (30ish or so) that busted his ass and did almost as well as Ali (the genius). He went to MIT pretty easily, whilst Ali went back to Saudi to work off his contract with Aramco. It was scary. He could've easily gone to Cal-Tech or MIT without even breaking a sweat. You should've seen him do a Rubik's cube x_x If I see someone with a 2.0 or so, I'll judge them on the spot. Either smart and lazy, dumb as hell, or dumb and lazy. Once someone breaks the 2.5 mark, I find myself unable to judge. So many profs at A&M were too god damn different. One would give loads of partial for a student who was trying earnestly, whereas the other would take 20 points off in the blink of an eye. Jam it back in, in the dark.
Hey, maybe you should try that thing Chie was talking about.
