This page is an addendum to my C.V.
Courses
As an undergraduate at Oberlin College, I majored in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. As the two majors have somewhat overlapping curricula,
my self-reported and self-calculated major GPA's, I think, warrant some explanation. In addition, I've put together a spreadsheet of
Math and CS classes, grades, and GPA calculations - you can see the Excel export here if you wish. There is a more brief overview below.
- My Computer Science GPA is 4.16. This includes all Computer Science courses, and a Computational Physics course, which, while offered through the Physics department, presupposed only high school physics and focused heavily on programming models.
- My Applied Mathematics GPA is 3.50. This include all Mathematics courses.
- My overall GPA is 3.77. This includes some Politics, Philosophy, and Art classes, in addition to 2 credits short of a Chemistry minor.
- I am in the Computation and Modeling cohort at Oberlin (S-STEM NSF award, 2008-2010). There is not yet an official concentration, but this award does involve meetings, lunches, talks, seminars, and so forth, that focus on modeling. In addition, every semester of the four semesters the award has supported me, I have taken at least one modeling-heavy class.
- At Oberlin, A- is 3.66, and B+ is 3.33. It is possible to have a >4.00 GPA by earning A+ marks, which correspond to 4.33.
- I entered Oberlin with 30 AP-related credits, which allows me to be graduating with two intense majors in three years.
