Hahaha I do agree with this, especially in terms of all the paranoia and stress that gets talked about around here. With my classmates i'm mostly like "oh yea, i wonder if it will be hard" or something nonchalant. I am pretty sure 0 of them know about my attempted transferring either.A'nold wrote:Anyone feel like we are basically classmates?

I mean to ask this when I started the thread...Disco, why are you so wise?disco_barred wrote:General trend:stinger35 wrote:I know I'll probably catch some hell, but I was just wondering how common people think it is to get great grades first semester (1st in class, Cali's, etc) and then screw up spring semester. Obviously I don't think I'll bomb and be bottom ten or even median, but I am talking simply 30% or so.
I don't want some dudes at median on here telling me "well, you don't have a big cushion, its easy to slip, bla bla bla" - I am more wondering if anyone knows people who have done or has done it themselves.
(Yes i am basically just freaking out and looking for a confidence boost, I realize that)
1) You know whether or not you put in the needed work, if you didn't then you're hosed. No getting around that.
2) If you worked at least as smart (hopefully not as hard since you know better now) as last semester, then the higher your grades were the more likely they are to be in that neighborhood. Top 15% or so means you got some median or below grades first go around, or at least that not all of your exams were at the top of the heap. But if you were pulling down As last semester you aren't going to forget how to do it.
General trends, obviously, mean less than particulars - but absent giving up or letting ego get in the way of doing the work, high performers tend to have two things in common with respect to second semester grades. First, they panic and get terrified they'll lose their spot. Second, they don't.
