I Got a 4.0 In Grad School!

July 12, 2022

It’s official!

I’ve been working hard through all of grad school to try to get a 4.0.

I don’t know if it truly matters, really, in grad school. But I have small dreams of potentially getting more master’s degrees after this.

And in undergrad, between all the various issues (multiple semesters in the hospital, etc. etc.) [and also just who I am as a person, what I chose to prioritize, and what I was good at vs. not], I got in the vicinity of like 3.2-3.3.

And so I thought having 3 semesters in a row, and a whole grad degree in which I got a 4.0 would *hopefully* set me up better for applying to things in the future.

For the most part in grad school, this wasn’t hard. We were learning about things I’d learned about before. I didn’t really struggle with any of the material. But it’s artsy stuff, so it is very subjective.

And there were some tiny close calls – like how in my business class, I very specifically asked a question about something for my final project, and took their advice, but they didn’t like the *way* I presented the advice they gave, so I still got an A- on my final project. But because I had an A in the class, ultimately I still got an A in the class.

And for the summer semester, basically all we had to do was our final performance and our thesis. And I didn’t really know how those things would be received.

I mean, I definitely thought I incorporated the notes I got and everything. But I still wasn’t sure if I incorporated them as well as I thought, or what they ultimately were thinking overall about my project. So, fingers were crossed.

And today I found out, officially, I got a 4.0 in grad school!

Yay!

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
