Wasn't the average of our president a C or C- ?

I'd say that's passing in my book

 

[persianballa]

Don't listen to these clowns, most employers have GPA requirements its usually either a 3.0 or a 3.5 for a good job

To me yea my job pays a portion of my tuition (well pays me back once they see the reciept that I paid and the grades). Gotta keep 2.0

But for passing and failing it's not.

Do you include your GPA on your resume?

Depends where you work and your age really. I started work for a financial company when I was 18 and they wanted to see my grades and made sure I kept them upand stayed in school. They still look at them (my job doesn't necessarily depend on it) but it looks good to upper management that I keep a good GPA whileworking 40 hours a week.

That may be true later on in your career, but, when applying for your first job out of college, employers want to see your GPA, especially withinyour major. Unless you've got three or four big-time internships, what else do they have to base your competence upon? A list of the courses you tookthat you may or may not have failed?

If you're applying for a job as an accountant and your prospective employer sees that you graduated with a 2.0, his/her likely reaction is "Thisperson either didn't work hard enough to get good grades, or simply doesn't know much about accounting."

I guess its still passing but I wouldnt really want a doctor operating on me who skated by with C-'s through school

Which employers YOU talkin bout?

C- aren't bad at all in less you lookin to get into grad school...med, law...whatever..just don't make anything less then a "B" a habit.

 

[cucumbercool]

you personally should think it is

There's your answer.

And yes, if your GPA is worth mentioning, it should be included on your resume. If it's not, employers probably won't ask but they will be curious towhy why you didn't put it down.

 

[enlightened thought]

i would not put my gpa on my resume unless it were like 3.0 and up (obviously depends for what kind of job youre applying for), at least that's whatI've heard.

but for me, anything less than a B is a failure. I hate B-'s and have yet to get a C so far, i'm trying hard to keep that streak.

 

[mdotte]

i couldnt get my c- transferred out so i would say its a failure but im at a CC right now

as an undergraduate student no, but as a graduate student yes

 

[bg babyglock26]

if you plan on pursuing further education it matters a ton

 

[freshprince]

obviously its not as good as an A, but as long as a C- still counts as you getting credit for the class, then you're set. Good luck tho

 

[throwedindagame]

A "C" in History = Failure.

History has to be the easiest class i took in college.

I'm in engineering so its brought up a little quicker in convos at career fairs and such considering the job field and competitiveness. Also, if its notyour resume, they know its a 2 something anyways.. Obviously, getting a job depends on the rest of your resume and interview skills and explaining thatlackluster gpa.


then again the leader of the free world got Cs

 

[dr spaceman]

Yes it does, you can't advance to most classes without atleast a C in the prerequisite.

 

[purepwrta]

It depends what major you are in. For instance I majored in Communication and I got a D in a class and it counted for credit, but in a Business Managementdegree a D would be considered Failure and have to retake the class. Check with your advisor.

 

[nawth21]

At my uni, if the class is REQUIRED for your major then yes it's a failure. You need either a C or a C+ to get credit for it. If you're taking theclass as an elective then it's a pass.

 

[concordefliteschool]

E is a failure, and I believe in grad school anything less then a C does not count towards completed credits..

Edit: I just realized that I made a C- on the midterm exam that really wasnt my grade for the class lol.......Im still scared though.......Does anyone have any study tips so that I can score better on my finals.

Depends if its just required class its okay passing but if its your major then its a failure. Cant get a decent job unless you have a 3.0 in your major.
