Finally met my match and got my first A-. My GPA is now a 3.969 (I like to round it up to 3.97) and I have 32 credit hours under my belt.

I'm frankly glad I got an A-. Finally, I can stop being a neurotic premed obsessing over grades. I'm imperfect, and although I could have gotten an A, I don't worry too much about it.

It's honestly refreshing to become imperfect. Now, I can finally give up the pursuit of being "perfect" and securing that perfect 4.0. It's outta my hands now, no matter how many courses I take, and I'm just not going to worry about it since that'll do me no good.

I also don't feel cross toward my professor. Although he could have been more clear, there was a language barrier, and I can't fault him for that. I can't imagine teaching anything in another language.

I just feel a sort of peace - a calmness. My dream of being valedictorian is over, but my life has just started in college. I have much bigger things to pursue than a number while I'm here. I'm going to (try to) be more than just a number in this world.

Anyone here agree with me?

Ugh. I tried to lose my 4.0 during my senior year spring semester.... but I just couldn't. Still neurotic. The struggle.....
 
lol....just lol - funny thing is judging by a previous post where the OP was saying that he might be at risk of getting an a- and was considering a W he actually might be serious - or is a good troll and likes trolling about the same topic.

What can I say - I suppose it would be traumatic to lose your perfect streak

Chill, drink some tequila, hit the bong, snort a line, something!

It's an A-, as you know that's an excellent grade. Anyone who thinks that's bad needs an instant trip to the mental institute! It reminds me of that ABC show where this freaky tiger mom tried to berate her daughter for an A- in the restaraunt, and all the normal people stood up for the normal child and berated the mom.
 
Clearly a troll. I don't know much about semester hours, but if he can graduate by Fall 2015, I think 32 credits doesn't cut it?
 
You are screwed. You can't get in any med school or DO... In fact, you can't even get anymore jobs... Don't you know? Pre med = 4.0

It's ALL over for you. Just give up in life... Go apply to be a janitor or something.
 
I hate everything about this thread.

You have no friends. Go out and talk to some dirty girls, you're in college.
 
I see a lot of people here saying this is a troll. While that may be, there was a girl at my school who actually said something like this. She sat in the first row of class and was loud. She informed the entire class that she had all A's and one A- which was causing her to have a 3.99 GPA. She also complained about never being able to get it to a 4.0. Oh yeah and she was something like a 10th year senior because she took 1 class a semester...lol.
 
I'd call you a gunner, except I know a better description: troll. So when you "got your first A-" was it the first time any A got on your transcript?
