you had a zero (0) percent chance of graduating with a 4.0 gpa

>>11091566
can you either change your course to pass/fail instead of graded? can you change your course to audit/hearer status and then retake the course next session? can you drop the course entirely and re-take it next session? Those are 3 big options to protect your 4.0 gpa.

Do you mean linear algebra, abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, or high school algebra?

college algebra = abstract algebra

Not at American universities. College algebra is a term for adults taking highschool math that makes them feel better. Abstract algebra will be named abstract algebra, modern algebra, introduction to abstract algebra, etc.

The class is piss easy. I got two answers wrong because how the teacher described two problems (calculate a rate based on a starting point of zero) isn't how she graded it on a test (starting at a second point). Another I just made a dumb transposition error.

I'm actually almost done with the book and am going to jump into precalc and skip that class so I can go straight to Calc

You need to expect your gpa to dip at places for a bit if you’re doing mathematics as a major. It’s alright - I got a b in a calculus class, but never got less than an A in remaining calculus nor any analysis classes I took afterwards

My only real concern is as I take harder classes, the GPA will dip like you said. And I get a discount on my tuition (40% off if I stay above 3.70 cumulative gpa) so I'm trying to save that.

Did you have to write an essay to apply for that discount?

I am in a similar position right now, 4.0GPA and would like to apply to some scholarships, but dam I don't know what to put on my essay when applying to these types of financial aid. Please help.

No it's just part of the program from the community college I'm transferring from. If I keep my GPA above 3.7, I will end up spending about $20k for uni in total.
