Undergrad Sophomore Year Completed

[Penelopepie]

I got my grades back all As and two Bs!!!! I got a 3.722 for this semester which made my overall now a 3.2!!! Next fall I’m going to try to get a 4.0 and hopefully that’ll get me to a 3.3!

Congratulations! I think it's important to remember that GPA truly isn't everything. I used to worry all the time but just finished my junior year and have a 3.4 cumulative, but a 3.8 CSD GPA. I would definitely calculate your CSD GPA (using only CSD classes --  hearing science, phonetics, sign language courses, etc.) and use that to boost your confidence a bit. Focusing on only your GPA can be a major cause of stress, especially in this field. Best of luck to you! There are very few feelings better than ending the semester with great grades so I hope you celebrated!
