Grad school grades

Nursing Students Post Graduate

Published

We are getting to the end of the term and the grades have started rolling in. I was wondering - did you do better in grad school than undergrad? Why? Did you study more, get smarter (hah!), were more motivated, or was the work easier?

I know I have done so much better (so far!) in grad school than in my undergrad degree (not that I did badly then) - mostly due to motivation and work ethic. It's definitely not easier info, and I definitely didn't get smarter with age, but now I pay for school myself, and just work harder and take it more seriously than I did when I was 18-22!

You?

4.0 is an A or A+ at all the schools I've been at and looked into. An A- is just a glorified B, and many schools will treat it as such when they recalibrate your GPA upon application.

I have never heard that before, and doubt it. I have never been to a school that offered A+ as a grade, either.

Hey, I hardly think my 93 is a "glorified B", thanks!!!

We have:

90-93 = A-

94-97 = A

98-100 = A+
