My grades are not very good and I feel that I failed as a student.
(international) Hi , so I started my masters in Imperial last September and I was really exciting and happy about it and especially really proud. In my undergrad I had a very high gpa and it was one of the hardest program in y country too, so I thought I am really good. To be honest, I think I am good, I understood most of the material and my courseworks were great, but when it comes to exams, I felt that i didnt know what they expected me to write as an anwser. I knew the anwsers and to be honest most of the time, it required just to apply the formula and not something harder , but all the results came out bad.
I felt really ashamed, first of all because the exams were not that difficult and second of all because apparently they were students who did better job than me without studying as much as i did. The thing is that my parents were paying for this degree as you can imagine and I was studying all day and still didnt manage to hit above 70 to get a dinstiction. I feel such a looser. My gpa is between 65 and 70.
Tell me your story and your opinion on that, feel free to share whatever you think it will be helpful.
