We don't go by GPAs in high school, just a standard percentage.
I graduated with 98.5%. That was 10 years ago, before the system was "reformed" to be easier and whatnot. I was accepted into the 2 top medical schools (no pre-meds required), the top engineering university, and Aramco's CBC program (all you need to know is that it's shit hot).
I picked the the medical field, started on the right foot and got 4.9 GPA out of 5 the first 3 semesters. Then things went to shit from there. Withdrew a few times, ended up transferring to an engineering school, was too depressed and emo to pick myself up and study, so I withdrew a bunch of times there too. Took a 2 year break from school to work, but it made things even worse. #whenkeepingitrealgoes
A few more fuck-ups later, I was fortunate enough to land a full scholarship, and here I am now. #knockonwood
