I need help determining my grade point average…?

Your GPA can be easily converted using this chart provided by Michelle Hernandez, in her book “A for Admission”:

95-100 = 4.0

94-94.99=3.9

93-93.99=3.8

92-92.99=3.7

91-91.99=3.6

90-90.99=3.5

89-89.99=3.4

88-88.99=3.3

87-87.99=3.2

86-86.99=3.1

85-85.99=3.0

84-84.99=2.9

83-83.99=2.8

82-82.99=2.7

81-81.99=2.6

80-80.99=2.5

79-79.99=2.4

78-78.99=2.3

77-77.99=2.2

76-76.99=2.1

75-75.99=2.0

74-74.99=1.9

73-73.99=1.8

72-72.99=1.7

71-71.99=1.6

70-70.99=1.5

This is kind of hard to do. The number of points you get is based off of your letter grade, not your number grade. On an unweighted scale, an A is a 4.0, an A- is a 3.7, a B+ is a 3.3, a B is a 3.0, a B- is a 2.7, a C+ is a 2.3, a C is a 2.0, a C- is a 1.7, a D+ is a 1.3, a D is a 1.0, a D- is a .7, and an F is a 0. You average all the grades you received for the semester (after converting them based on grade letters and numbers). For the cumulative GPA, you average all of the semesyter grades. For example, if you received 2 A’s, a B, a C, and a D for the semester, you add up the converted scores (4, 4, 3, 2, and 1 respectively to get 14) and divide by the number of courses (14/5 is 2.8).

If you are doing college grades, it gets trickier. You have to multiply the grade number (like 4 for an A, etc.) for each course by the number of credit hours. You then add up the numbers (which you produced through multiplication) by the number of credit hours attempted.

For honors and AP classes, I don’t think that you can do much to the calculation. Some schools give them weighted credit (which allows people to go all the way to a 5.0 or higher), but I don’t think you can add that into your calculation because you don’t know what your school would do at that point.

I’d suggest that you give them your number average (0 to 100) on your application.

A=4

B=3

C=2

D=1

F=0

Add up your grades and divide by the number of grades (Find the average).

But your real GPA is after a semester ends. Find the average GPA of each of your classes by finding the average of your 1st nine weeks, 2nd nine weeks, and semester exam (If you didnt have an exam, then just the first two and divide by 2). If you have a decimal, round to the nearest whole number. Then find the average of all your classes.

This is unweighted. Honors and Advanced Placement classes add more points to your GPA. How much depends on where you live. Colleges and scholarships have their own ways of adding weight to your GPA and how much
