Question
Hello,

I'm not sure if this is in your field of expertise, but I am a college sophomore, entering my junior year at Pace University in NYC. I was told by someone that after your sophomore year of college, your QPA stays the same and regardless of how high your grades are, you're QPA doesn't change? Is this true?

I have around a 2.9 out of a 4.0 right now and I am hoping to work extra hard to improve this next year, I wanted to graduate with a high GPA, maybe a 3.6, is this impossible at this point?

Thanks so much for your help.

Answer
I'm not good enough at math to tell you if this is mathamaticaly possible, but I do know that one's GPA does constantly change as one takes courses.  Even if your GPA does not make it to a 3.6, anyone who sees your transcript will see an improgement in grades, which is more impressive than holding a steady B average.
