*I think the highest score one can get is a 36.
**All of my best friends are smarter than I am. They got 28s and 29s... Then again, they took all the classes I didn't and didn't screw up their freshman and sophomore years as well...

Grading here is based on an A-E system, with A being super duper, C being a low pass, anything less being not-a-pass, and U being a fail below all that. For university, there's an elaborate system involving points for every grade you get (10 per grade per year taking the course, in short). And I need to get about 280 points for my first choice uni. Lovely.

Also, why is uni always called College over the Pacific? Here, a college is usually a private high school, or occaisionally a boadring house thing near a uni. For example, my highschool was named St Norbert College, as it was founded and owned by a group of Norbertine priests/brothers.

A GPA is basically putting numbers to the five grades you can get – A, B, C, D, and F – an A is four, B is three, C two, D one, and an F is just zero. I think the overall grades you make in your classes are added up to get a final GPA. Basically a 4.0 is about the highest A you can get. I think I pulled off a 2.0 because of afore-mentioned screw-ups...
As for why we call universities "college", I don't really know. They're all called "university" in the actual names, like I'm going to Northwestern State University, but I think "college" is just a more generic term.
Chyld: I think I'm getting it now...

Janey: I'm having to do the college choosing/applying junk now. It sucks.
Rhubarb: I sometimes don't live with my parents, but it's technically illegal since I'm a minor.
Jimbo: We had to kill them to keep them from going extinct.

Tell me about, plus there's all that junk mail to wade through...you would not believe how many Christian colleges tried to get at me!
What I did was I originally planned to follow one of my closest friends up to Northwestern (because I was very silly and she was one of the very few friends I had at the times), but she changed her mind and decided to go to another. Since I know sod all about picking colleges (except for the local one and the really popular one, both of which are very obnoxious and overrated), I decided to stick with it anyway.
I this I only got lucky with the fact that it kicks ass anyway, the campus is beautiful, they have a good selection of classes to choose from, and a few other friends are going there as well. Besides, they accepted me right off and gave me credit for the first semester of English because of my scores.
