Has your grade ever mattered?

[jcooke]

I am definitely curious about this discussion, as I will be pursuing a masters program to become a teacher. I’m working towards my BSBA in Gen Management, just applied to TESU today! 5 classes to go on my own and then Information Lit and Capstone at TESU. My first go-round with college, I had some As and Bs, but then instead of taking a semester off or dropping out the “correct” way, I just stopped going to class. So I’ve got 5 Fs coming in on a transcript. I know my GPA is around a 2.0 thanks to my youthful mistakes. What I make on the two courses at TESU will factor in to my GPA at graduation. All of these SL and SDC courses will just be recorded as pass. I have lurked in this forum for some time, and I know that if I wanted to increase my GPA, I’d likely look towards New Mexico Junior College. They have the cheapest rates I have ever heard of. Clovis Community College (I don’t think I’ve ever seen them mentioned on here before) is no where near as cheap as NMJC, but is on the lower end of prices I’ve seen and offers some courses Clovis doesn’t. (It has been a while since I’ve seriously evaluated either though, honestly). It’s too bad that ACE credit doesn’t factor in. I’m a solid 3.5 student.
