Didn't see that you already has all the info. oh well. Guess I'm not in your survey.
Last year I ended up with right above a 3.0
I didn't work at all but I was in Marine Corp ROTC and it tok up tons of time. Plus that was at Vanderbilt.

This year I'm not doing ROTC and I am working about 9 hours a week. I also go to TN Tech instead of Vanderbilt and think I'm going to get about a 3.8, maybe 4.0 this semester.
Study approxiamately 1 hour a week.

 

[Valhalla1]

3.5 GPA, freshman, working 40 hours/week, 17 credit hours this semester

 

[Muerto]

I'm in second year Mechanical Engineering. I believe my GPA is a B-. I'd like it to be a bit higher though. But damn, engineering is hard. I'm probably putting in 60-70 hours per week.






And far too much of it is spent here.

 

[jcballer1]

3.48, junior, studying 10-15 hours per week, not working but playing basketball 14hours per week

 

[Incredulous]

My GPA is 3.821 in a Computer Engineering program. I'm a senior and will graduate in less than 2 weeks. Woo hoo.
-Incredulous

 

[Vaneleus]

GPA=3.45, Junior, Took 17hrs this term(not gonna do that again any time soon) work ~25hrs a week, study only when absolutely necessary.

 

[hans007]

i've got a 2.9 GPA now, 2nd year, i dont have a job, i sell crap on forsale trade and egay most of the time to make money (beats doing menial crap). I'm a CS major, econ minor, i go to class maybe half the time, and i do maybe 8 hours or so of school work a week. My GPA could have been a lot better, but i went to summer school and well passed my classes.... I sleep a lot too. GPAs are overrated, some of the smartest guys i know in engineering have bad GPAs, some of the dumbest i know have the high ones (like 3.7s etc), they just spend 40 hours a week studying and well, these guys you'd have to say every line of code to them for them to ever get a project done. Next quarter i'm taking 5 classes, 18 units, i think its something like 23 hours a week of class. I think i'm gonna die.

 

[wolf550e]

excuse my ignorance, but what is GPA? (non-US highschool student asking...)
edit:
Grade Point Average, i see. what is the scale? (out of 5?)

 

[steveme]

Grade Point Average

 

[Bling Bling]

For sh\ts and giggles, dohyun was THE prominent outlier.

 

[radiocore]

gpa 3.0
hrs/week 40

 

[Jumpem]

Wolf550E, Grade Point Average is usually measured on a scale of ?.?? out of 4.0

 

[aUt0eXebat]

mine is 3.16 out of 4.0 and I dont work...... but i travel an hour everyday to goto college

 

[kwan]

GPA = 3.71, don't work at all, junior year

 

[DaBoneHead]

I'm out of college though... but I can sum up my 6 years (dual major, math/comp sci).


Worked 2 jobs 5 of 6 years: 30-50 hrs.
Homework: 12-24 per week, all depends on load.

Comp Sci QPA: 3.15
Math QPA. 2.14

All on a scale of 4.

Minimum wage jobs suck. Even with all the work I did to make money, I never topped 13k for any year. Maybe that's why I think the minimum wage in the US is a joke.

 

[Train]

I got kicked out

had a 1.75 GPA (Computer Science)
I now work 40 hours a week for somewhere around $40/hour (Computer Science)
Just got promoted too, go figure,

And im actually partying more noe than when i was in college.



I do plan on finishing up my degree though, one day, I promised someone i would
