My current GPA is 3.95 (Purdue CS - not sure if it is top-ranked or not) and I try hard to maintain it. I focus a lot on grades because back in high-school, an accident in grade 10 destroyed my grades and closed a lot of education opportunities (I was restricted to the bed, couldn't go to participate in contests, exams, classmates attended top quality after-school sessions for math and science and I could do none of that - I had very shitty internet - a session would never last long enough to download Vim let alone Linux) When it was time to apply for college, my high school GPA was enough to deny me entry into schools I had dreamed of attending. That humiliation has stuck with me forever. This is one thing in my control, I try my best not to screw things up.

So how did you do it?

The same way everyone else does it:

1. Attend class irrespective of the time. 2. Turn in all assignments. 3. Start ahead of time on projects 4. Regularly go to office hours.

What happens when you feel bogged down by assignments? Do you just hand in an incomplete or completely skip it? Could you break down your typical schedule for a week?
