Those are TERRIBLE SAT grades. What the fuck? She's dumb as a rock. Unless that's going by the old system out of 1600, but I don't see how it could be considering the fact that she's only 18 and it became out of 2400 about 3 or 4 years ago. Also a 5.5 GPA is impossible. These numbers don't make sense.

Oh my god, you have no idea... I'd have a 4.2 but instead I have a 3.7.

GPA is a joke nowadays.
Most it was possible to get at my high school was 4.5.

[QUOTE=altthe6th;22680280]her teachers took pity on her and up'd her marks.
it's the only explanation.[/QUOTE]
They mentioned she kept it as a secret at the beginning.
[QUOTE=Oecleus;22683777]Isn't a 1270 for the SAT terrible?[/QUOTE]
It's decent, I heard that a score of 1600-1800 can send you into Harvard.
Nevermind, it's awful.
5.5 gpa? Thats a load of bull. Hard work, maybe; but they have to had been lax with handing out grades or something. That's ridiculous.
It's not the fact that she has a low score. Its the fact that she actually managed to graduate and get a scholarship even while homeless.
not fucking news
[QUOTE=MRTW113;22676664]5.5 GPA?! :aaa:
She just showed us all up. Here we are, sitting at a computer, with electricity, a seat, a warm home with most of us living comfy lives, and she still freaking does this. And she says she want to work with [i]children[/i]. Not head into law or some other money stuffed industry, but to work with children. Man, I feel ashamed of myself for some reason.[/QUOTE]
I feel bad for failing college classes because i just didn't feel like doing the work :(

Oh well.
My last GPA was 2.16, so now I get to go to seventh grade.
IB gives out high GPAs, trust. Over here someone managed to get all 7s.
Some schools in Florida allow their GPA to go up to 9.0.
So... it's like a 5.5/9.0
5.5 GPA but only got a 1270 on the SAT? How does that work out?
I was feeling bad when I saw you guys bashing her SAT score because I thought it said 2170 not 1270. yeah I'm retarded.
this girl deserves this..hopes she doesn't fuck up unlike others

Highest possible in mine is a 4.0 including AP classes. There's no 5.0 for getting an A in an AP class :|
Pretty encouraging, just goes to show that if you work hard, you will get somewhere.

Which makes college useless as a job incentive because everyone then has a degree
5.5?? I thought my 4.7 was good... Goddamn.
5.5 GPA? I didn't even know it went that high, i swear it stopped at 4.0

Some schools still look at just the old sections, but whatever ACT is better anyway.
