never been asked my gpa out of school.

just tried to remember what it was, and i can't...

Grades only matter to schools.

in my program less than a 3.0 is failing, and a C is the lowest passing grade for any class--similar in other programs?

yeah, grad school grades are basically to give you an evaluation of your performance for your information. no employer cares what your grades were, and if they do, you probably don't want to work there.

typo, five? for us a c is the lowest passing grade, but a 3.0 is a b, is it not?

just like no one cares what your GRE score was after you get into grad school. :)

i wish 3.0 was failing, then i wouldn't have had to listen to some people and their mindless babble.

C was lowest passing grade in our program.

thanks guys... this is reassuring.

My M.Arch program was all Pass/Fail. And in any case I've never once been asked in any job interview about my grades form college or grad school.

SW-
you can receive credit for a class with a C, but your GPA has to stay above a 3.0 (i.e., you next class better be an A)

i was always told (by profs) grades were only important for getting into grad school. nothing else. and they even said not to put grades on resume, it's not really relevant. the interviewer/hirer will be able to tell from first impression and quality of resume if you are a good prospect or not.

as a senior in my BArch, for my diploma project at the three weeks in checkpoint, I recieved an 'F' and was supposed to fail right then and there and not be allowed to continue in the project. Was told the project was "impossible." They let me stay in, and I ended up with an 'A' by the semester's end. What does that tell you? What are grades anyways?
I tried to tell my interviewers my grades, but they stopped me mid sentence. Don't bring it up and they probably won't either.

i've never heard of anyone asking for grades, but if you graduate with distinction or summa cum laude or whatever, you can put it on your CV. besides, the minimum requirements usually require minimal effort to achieve.
