High...and that was back in the old days when we actually had to read BOOKS and the professors didn't give a fuck if we lived or died let alone passed or failed!
And snow...we had to walk ten miles through the snow to get to school and eleven miles back...and all of it uphill...into the wind.

But did you have to chop wood and milk the cows when you got home?

But did you do it barefoot? With only a potato sack to wear?

I don't really count my college GPA as an accurate reflection of my GPA seeing as how once I hit the requisite "You must take [this many classes minimum] for an ABCDF grade" I did pass/fail on everything else. My last year and a half was taken pass/fail, I think. It was very liberating not feeling the stress of having to work for a grade, per se, and just learning the material.
My graded classes got me to about a 3.75 and I probably would have graduated with a GPA in the same range as high school (3.5-3.75) had I continued taking things for grades.

I was a huge nerd and finished with 4.0 GPA and was valedictorian. Commence the dork comments.

I did something kind of like that: once I got into law school, I stopped going to one class and stopped doing work in another, and I ended my last semester with an A-, B, C-, and F for a 2.1
