I was lazy, but I got a 3.67 with an unweighted of 3.3 in high school. Rank 30 out of 331, SAT 1740, but unfortunately that doesn't carry a lot of weight after you go to a community college. I REALLY wish it did, so I didn't have to lose sleep over this damn school.
Basically the story goes as: The 4 hour commute, (2 hours 1-way) of a job pretty much killed my grades for the past 4 years, parent divorce intervention, grandparent deaths, plenty of other crap, but I tried to do the best I could amidst depression and a lot of bad events that happened all at once while I was going to school. If I can manage to get all A's, I can jump from 2.38 to 3.22. If everything was counted, as any school will look at it in total: 2.47 and there's no hope to change that.
Thankfully, I have more A's and B's than anything else, but I forgot to drop classes that I ended up failing. So... with Academic Renewal (A forgiveness backup plan, where they drop your grades of classes you never intend to take again) I have a chance of fixing all of this in a single semester. However if the GPA is not high enough, all of it is worthless.
Considering the school is regionally infamous for unfair grading and extreme math difficulty, it still sucks no matter how it is looked upon, but if I had jumped into a university like so many of my friends did, I would be in debt right now and still no degree because I don't know about most people, but the salary you're spending 4-8 years of your life on better pay pretty damn well for the amount of debt you're going to be in.
