For college students or former college students, have you ever known someone with a 4.0 average in Physics?

My sister graduated from college with a perfect 4.0... She went for business, but of course she took some science classes. With everything, you need to put some time in. I can remember my sister going to the library at night and studying for hours at a time. She only did that a week or so before exams though. \n\nYou don't have to overload yourself. Study everything a little at a time from the moment you get it. That way your load is lighter later on...\n\nYou'll have more time to do stuff that way. Enjoy college..

I did.  I chose to go to an online school instead of the traditional setting school.  I finished in less time than what it would have taken if I went to the traditional school.  Plus I was able to do my work at my own pace.  I took two classes every five weeks.  We were given the chance to know what we were going to have for homework for those five weeks, we had a little bit of interactive with other students through discussion boards.  All in All, it was an experience that I will never forget.\n\nI graduated Magna Cume Laude.  I had a 4.0 GPA.  I also set the example for my daughter that you can never be too old to go back and accomplish your goals in life.  Now I can say to everyone that I have my BS Degree in Criminal Justice and I am 80% through my Master's Degree Program.

I was not personally but a friend of mine in college was born on Lead Year Day. His 5th birthday was my freshman year in college. He was 21 but he went around with a 5 crown on all day it was funny to watch him.

It all depends on what subjects you're good at or not good at, which varies from student to student. For me, anything that had to do with science or math was the hardest.

I think it's better to show colleges that you can handle advanced classes than to take all easy classes and get A's.\n\nAs for your friend, a 4.6 on a 4.0 scale means nothing.  She's have to convert it to the 4.0 scale when she applies for college.  Hint: the highest gpa you can have on a 4.0 scale is a 4.0.

Those that have easier majors, or are undeclared tend to have higher gpa's their first year. There can't be a real percent because all colleges are different, in terms of difficulty.

Now keep in mind I am a recent college graduate...but I remember when I took Algebra 2, I struggled some...ended up with like a B (I think..hard to remember those details).  I did much better with Geometry though-so thats cool. I enjoy math though-isn't that ironic? I did very well in college though.

You have a good chance of being accepted, but academic scholarships to such schools are ultra-competitive. There are probably plenty of people applying who have a 3.9 or 4.0

There was a guy in one of my classes at college whom no one noticed really.  He wasn't drop dead gorgeous, and he didn't talk much.  Finally halfway through the semester he opened his mouth and in a beautiful british accent said, "Well it's not really like that, is it?"  \n\nEvery head on our side of the room turned towards him and our mouths fell open.  The next day John was surrounded by women.

I got 85% in physics last term.I am pretty good at the subject.I will try my best to help you if only you can frame the question.

Yes. They brought me into this world, thought me values and invested in educating me. \n\nI try to make them proud in return. Turning a person from baby to college graduate is a pretty big personal achievement too!

4.0 if you are taking standard classes. Some of the college prep classes (they called them A.P. - advanced placement - when I was in school) award an extra point for each grade (i.e., A = 5 pts. instead of 4 pts.). So someone in the advanced classes could have a better than 4.0 GPA if they get all As or they can get a few Bs and still have a 4.0 GPA.

Definitely, \n\nI have known people who were brought here by their parents as children\n\nThey excelled in school but couldn't get into a good university because of their 'illegal' status in the US.. \n\nThat sucks..

A student that lived in a youth group home told me he wished  I was his dad.\n\nA student that just graduated wrote a nice messege on the school year book thanking me for encouraging him and for pushing him during Gym class.\nHe's now off to college on a football with a scholarship

That of course depends on the person. For me it was the intellectual challege, and knowing that I can have a true impact on people, and families. \n\nIn terms of the schooling, you have to love science and people, bottom line. I would not say that the material is difficult as compared to propulsion physics, but it is the volume of material that they throw at you that is difficult.\n\nSome others here mentioned, shadowing a physician. That is a great idea, and ask lots of questions. Plus, there are lots of great resources on the web.
