Statement Of Purpose: My Current GPA

GPPA program provides me a guarantee admission for my future education in Nursing. As a GPPA member, I will keep my GPA above average during college years, and do my best to make a steady progress academically. Nurse anesthetist is my dream career, I would like to take the risks and complete any recommended courses to pursue my goals. becoming a member of GPPA program will offer me a considerable opportunity to complete my Bachelor's degree in Nursing and helps me achieve my goal with higher level educational content.

I feel that my GPA is not indicative of my current academic strength. During the first two years at the University of Illinois, I struggled to adapt to a new education system and a different cultural environment. However, in the following years, I excelled within the classroom. Despite originally declaring myself as a General Management major, I pushed myself to take more data driven electives. As a result, I was able to graduate with an additional Business Process Management major.

Academically I would like to maintain or even improve my GPA by hopefully getting a B or high in this class. I would like to get as many scholarships as I possible can by the end of the year. My main academic goal for this class would be to turn in all of my homework with the best effort for each assignment.

I am appealing the admission decision on my transfer application because I feel that my GPA from my previous university, Georgia Institute of Technology, does not accurately reflect my potential at Florida State. There were extraneous circumstances that affected my GPA at Georgia Tech, and I feel my test scores and high school performance show a more accurate representation of my performance as a student.

Some students are able to show their true talent and intelligence just through their high school transcripts. These students that have worked hard: achieved their 4.0 GPA, graduated with honors, and are on their way to a college of their choosing. I myself, have achieved a less than stellar GPA. Always ending the semester with a B or C has put me into a predicament when applying to colleges; not knowing if you’re going to get in or not makes for a mess of anxiety. Myself having an average GPA but being able to score in the 77th percentile on the SAT shows that I have the ability to do more than what my report card says about my intellectual ability. Knowing that my GPA is still very important when applying to colleges I have redone classes

I do not feel as if my GPA accurately explains my work ethic or my knowledge in general. During my sophomore

'Tis the season for college applications, and as a senior in high school this bring a lot of stress to me and I am not the only one. "Teens across the U.S. are standing by their mailboxes, waiting anxiously for the envelopes that will seal their academic fate. It's college admissions season and for many students a lot hinges on how well they performed in standardized testing"(Sheffer). As I have gone throughout my high school career I have achieved a 4.0 GPA. However, despite my hard work, my GPA will be looked at but the main focus of the decision process will be based on my ACT scores, and because I received a 25 this is very stressful to me. Although a 25 is not horrible, it will jeopardize some of the chances I would have getting into a

The last time I checked, my GPA was somewhere in the 2.0s. When examined with a blind eye to the specifics, it most likely shows people that I'm a poor student, as most people judge scholarly ability by GPA. However, I believe that this is a flawed system, as it does not accurately show the full picture. When the dozen or so colleges that I applied to looked at my GPA, they were not looking into the meaning behind the number, missing the specifics of which classes I was performing poorly in and which classes I excelled in. Since a GPA focuses on everything at once rather than highlighting a student's struggles and weaknesses, it leads them to believe that a student is performing a particular way in all of their classes, a statement that has

Thanks for all the words of support! I don't think I realized how much I grew until I updated my resume and was like "I did all this stuff?"

In order to be accepted into UW Tacoma, you need to withstand a GPA with the minimal of 3.0, but the recommended GPA to ensure acceptance is a 3.5 and above. Currently, my GPA for the first quarter of my freshman year was a 3.0 but hoping for the next quarter to replace my C's with B's in order to receive a 3.6 or higher on my semester grade. Though UW Tacoma doesn't list, a recommended class ranking, but by UW admissions counselor's recommendation of having a class ranking above the 60 percent.

I am a very private person and kept all issues to myself until I later attained counseling from a physiologist on campus. These events negatively affected my classes and as a result I received a 2.93 GPA my fall semester and a 2.39 GPA my spring semester of my junior year. I believe that my GPA, before this, in my sophomore year with a 3.53 and, after this, in my senior year with a 3.46 is more representative of my current potential. These conditions have not changed but I have learned to better adjust and accommodate, which has taught me to become a stronger person with more independence. I hope you will take this information into account when you evaluate my application. Thank you for your time and

The phrase “knowledge is power”, derived from Latin roots, strongly resonates with me. In order to know me, not just as a name on a piece of paper, a score on a test, or a GPA you must first understand why this phrase stands out to me. My mentality is credited to my mother. She has worked and pursued an education virtually all of her life in order to better herself and for her children’s sake. She’s my sense of inspiration and the reason I push for excellence. One of the many motherly lectures was on education and the value in it; for this reason she has shown me the benefit and unlimited possibilities with an education. While I do agree that grades are an important factor I don’t, however, believe that that solely shows who a person is or the

I feel that I had an exceptional freshman fall semester. Throughout the semester I attended meetings of various organizations such as African Student Association, Maryland Association of Black Journalists, Real Talk, and The Collective UMD (of which I joined the E-board). At the end of the semester, I finished with a 3.87 GPA. Not only was I able to stay on top of my grades, but I was also able to explore, which is essential for freshman. During the fall, I was able to find out what worked for me and what did not work for me in terms of interests and study habits. For instance, I realized my Math 111 TA was not very useful, and so I decided to sit in another Math 111 class with a different teacher for most of the semester. I ended the class with an A, which was also attributed to study groups and tutoring from AAP and OMSE. I feel that the summer transitional program and AAP prepared me for a heavy workload which made my classes more manageable, adding to the fact that I was only taking 12 credits. In the fall, I was able to grasp the college experience in one semester and try my best which is why I feel I did well.

My future. I think about it everyday. Right now I am surrounded by my thoughts and ideas of what college can do for my future. I’ve been thinking about my intended major ever since I visited my grandfather at his job. After that visit I new what I wanted to be, an accountant. Although being an accountant would take time and planning my first step for a future degree in that field is to find a college to suit my passion. Of course in any family sending multiple members off to college money is always a question and my family is no exception. Though I have received presidential scholarships for my academic achievements, I will have to maintain a 3.5 GPA to be eligible for the scholarship. Of course receiving my CPA degree is a vital step to finishing
