Ok, whats the secret 4.0 students???

Published

I noticed alot of you have 4.0's. Do you have kids? I just dont understand how you do it. Are you up all night studying or just genuises???

I do ok I have a 3.4 but come on, BSN programs want a 4.0- the competition is stiff. Of course minimum prereq GPA may be 3.0 but thats not whose admitted. The school Im applying to gets 350 apps for 50 seats and is on a GPA ranking selection. So they automatically admit all 4.0's. I still have Stats, Micro, and Chem to take- so I want to know how are you guys getting A's???

This stuff is hard, and with small children and a household to run on top of that is even harder. I need some insight here.

If the instructor thinks it is important enough to talk about in lecture then it is probably important enough to be on the test. There is no way you can know it all.

I wish my instructors felt that way. In two of the classes I took this semester we were often tested on material never mentioned in class. I finally caught on after the first month and started re-reading the textbooks and taking notes on the concepts that were not discussed in lecture, and it made a difference in my test scores.
