GPA

The past couple of days, GPA has been a big topic. I have a 2.82 GPA. I personally feel it is good, I can always do better and I am. It was lower than that, but I have been constantly bringing it up since I came to LSUS last spring. I am not the type to blame other people for my problems, I always take full responsibility and encourage others to do the same. But I think this case is special. I honestly blame ULM for my low GPA. Everybody else I talk to at LSUS has a higher GPA or close. I feel I should have just stayed at LSUS and I could have did way better. I am about to graduate in the spring, and some of the accounting firms that have been posting jobs/interns require a 3.0. Hopefully after some hard work, I can get that 3.0, but if I fall short, will the 2.9 be close enough? The reason I ask because some firms I have talked to before make it clear you have to have a 3.0. I would HATE to be turned away because of a couple of points. I know I will still get a job somewhere, but will I have to take that job because I did not have a 3.0?
I went to ULM for three years and their teaching style is way different. Of course it is different because no school is the same, but I thought the point was to help students learn and so forth. ULM always made things so much harder than they had to be. I was just average at ULM, hence the not so high GPA. I study the same and use the same techniques; I study in advance and all the other things you are suppose to do for classes. But at ULM that only earned me C's, at LSUS I make A's all the time! I do not feel that LSUS is easier than ULM, I feel they point out what is important, take their TIME to make sure you understand, and test you on that. When a school does those things, it makes it impossible almost to not graduate. ULM does not do any of that, they have a FEW good teachers but mostly not. I never understood why they made things harder than they should because they are not that prestigous; and I am not the only person that feels like that. If you were to talk to people there, they would say the same thing. All in all, I do not like ULM, ask me again in a year and I will tell you the same.
