Big Man on Campus!
Did they change GPA's since I've been in college? Used to be a 4.0 was perfect...
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Had a Rorschach moment there, thought we were going to get some HIV results.
Congrats to the OP, congrats!!
Good grades, and no diseased pariah status either!!

Congrats I'm happy for you. In law school I'm still waiting for the final exam. We don't measure grades/results from A-F like the US, we measure it from 1-20, 20 being the best, 10 is the least you need to pass. In law school no professor gives students more than 16, and the average grade of the best students of all time was 14 or 15 at maximum. There is a fucking class I already failed on my first try and I'm waiting for the second exam, I usually like having high results but this one is so hard (it isn't hard but the professor fails almost everyone for insignificant reasons) I'll be really fulfilled with a mediocre 10.

That seems rather ridiculous. Why not make it out of 16 then? good "luck" to you with your exams.

What grades A-F mean in law school varies from school to school in the U.S. In mine there could be only one A+ per class, and only the top 10 % could get A's though the number could be fewer, and only the next 15% could have B's though again it could be fewer. C was supposed to mean competent to practice in this area.
The results created a fair amount of angst for students used to getting A's as undergraduates.

Congratulations, that looks very fine indeed.
