^+1 for zetazeta.

By the way, I remember zetazeta writing something about SFU's business curve vs UBC's (in terms of grading differences) but I can't seem to find it.. would be great if he could chime in again. Something along the lines of.. unfair SFU grading/more difficult.

To masterroshi, not trying to scare you or anything.. but the jump from HS to ANY post-secondary is huge. HS doesn't prepare you for university imo (at least it didn't prepare me). I had an extremely low GPA for my first term. To reinforce what zetazeta/j.c said, you really need to understand the material to do well in some courses (e.g., econ/accounting let's say). Even in "pure" memorization courses.. you need to be able to apply the correct terms.

It's nearing the end of October, and you still have tons of time to bring your grades up. Take a look at Trix's advice (grades, learning how to make your EC's sound good).
