Grade point averages are done like this. Each course is assigned a number of credits. According to what letter grade an individual gets in the course they receive a certain number of those points that the course is worth. So if a course is worth 4 credits then an A would give a person all of those 4 points. A B would most likely be 3 and so on. You then multiply this number of points by the credits given by the course and then sum all of these numbers and divive by the total number of credits in a given semester. So for the two classes you get an A in a 4 credit course thats 4x4 = 16 and a c in a 2 credit course thats 2x2=4. Add the 14 and 6 for 20 and divide by 6 (the total number of credits) to give you 3.33. So 4.0 would be a perfect GPA.

Not all universities and colleges are the same on the 4.0 scale.\n\nHere's what mine goes:\nA 4.0\nA- 3.7\nB+ 3.3\nB 3.0\nB- 2.7\nC+ 2.3\nC 2.0\nC- 1.7\nD+ 1.3\nD 1.0\nD- 0.7\nF 0.0\n\nWhen you do the math, that's the fun and ugly part of it.  First, add-up the number of units that you have completed.\n\nNext, using the grade scale, for each class, take the grade and change it to the points scale and multiply it by how many units you have taken for that class only.  Do it for all your classes.\n\nAdd the total number of grade points together from all your classes and divide it by the number of units you have completed, and that's your GPA.\n\nExample, I have taken two classes, each class has three units.\nEnglish 123: B+\nMath 456: A\n\nAdd the number of units taken: 6\nFor ENG 123, a B+ is 3.3, multiply by number of units of class: 3.3 x 3 = 9.9\n\nFor Math 456, an A is 4.0, multiply by number of units of class: 4.0 x 3 = 12.0\n\nAdd grade points: 9.9 + 12.0 = 21.9\nDivide by number of units: 21.9 divided by 6 = 3.65\n\nYour GPA would be 3.65.

Leave it blank.  If they are interested, they'll call you back and you can explain that you have a 2.94 - almost a 3.0, and only because you took difficult classes (or some other legit reason).  If they don't call back, they probably wouldn't call even if you had the 3.0

well, you should study or you might fail the test. think about that: study and pass the test, or not studying and getting a low grade on the test.\nBut if you feel like you know the information which you have to study, then you might get a good grade.

1.0.. 4.0 is straight A's with no AP classes, 5.0 includes the extra points from the AP classes..

I think 18 is the lowest I have heard 4 years accepting students.  My bro had an 18, and he got accepted but put on academic probation.  Your best chance would be a private 4 year, but that will be expensive.  Why not take it one more time?

well,the standard grades level that i am aware of  are A, B, C ,D,F\nand i am sure that it is being regulated by the department of education.\nIf there are no D's in your school it might probably be your school internal  rules.\nYou can actually  call the department of education and you will get an answer.\nYou can also go to your school catalog under grading policy.\nHope this helps

I think you can just add up your grades per points.  Each one should have a point value such as A- would be around 3.5 or something.  Usually like this A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1 and F=I guess Zero.  \nSO if say you got three A's, two B's and one C it would go something like this:\n4+4+4+3+3+2=20  divide that by the number of numbers  which is 6/20 and you get: 3.3 grade average.  \nI think that is how I used to do it in college.  But for the minuses and pluses like A+ or something...I don't know.  Just ask your school administrator what the point value of each grade is and then follow that solution I gave you. \nGood luck!\nd.\n\nthen again, your school should be doing this for you, when you get your grade report!!

The previous answer works, and that is how colleges determine your gpa, but converting from a 100 point scale to a 4 point scale can be simplified.\n\n - Take your gpa on a 100 point scale (87.3)\n - Multiply by 4\n - Dividie by 100\n\n(87.3 x 4)= 349.2\n\n349.2/100 = 3.492\n\nYour GPA (On a 4.0 scale) is 3.49

3.5 probably won't cut it, especially considering that most of the students who apply to Stanford have taken extremely tough classes and still have a 4.0. But the important thing is being a well-rounded student. Are you an officer in a lot of clubs? How are your SAT scores? You'll have to score around 2200 to make up for your low GPA. Definitely apply! It's better than always wondering if you might have made it. Good luck!

This is not a great high school record. But I think the thing that will really catch the eye of the admssions office is the fact that you got 4 on an AP test, but you got pretty mediocre grades. I think the question they will be asking is, is this a pretty smart kid who doesnt want to work? \n\nThe one thing I've been told by college recruiters over and over is, we don't want any smart, lazy kids. We want kids who are hardworking and dedicated. I think that if you apply at a competitive school, that AP grade might count against you more than it will count for you.

Sounds a bit excessive to me.  A b+ is really good.  If this is your lowest grade you are doing excellent.  Your parents must be strict with you, but I stillthink this is excessive.

3.5 or higher is usually needed.  3.8 and up is best.  Sometimes students with 3.0s get in, but not that often.

As a sophomore, you can raise your GPA substantially over the next two years.  I suggest you focus on learning math since it's your weak point by getting books and taking additional courses prior to taking junior and senior math classes.  If you raise your GPA, you can [ostensibly] prove that the one low grade was a aberration and not your normal standard of performing.  \n\nAlso, I suggest some very heavy prep work for your entrance exams.  If you score high on those and have a high school GPA that is impressive enough, most colleges will not put too much importance on the one low grade.  You do have to be exemplary from this point on, however.  Some colleges (Ivy League may be out of your reach) may not consider a student with a low grade in such an important subject, but state colleges will probably remain within your reach.

Your high schools weight them to show you what type of kids go to what schools. Colleges have their own way of calculating GPA. So just take as many higher level courses as you can and keep that GPA near the 4.0 (The top A) as much as you can. Otherwise your weighted score doesn't really mean much.\n\nMore AP classes and more As give you a higher chance at more competative schools. \n\nThe ideal score is to get an A in AP classes.

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.

It means that the grades are based on the standard scale:\na=4pts\nb=3pts\nc=2pts\nd=1pt\nf=0pts\n\nA weighted GPA scale is as follows:\n\na=5pts\nb=4pts\nc=3pts\nd=2pts\nf=0\n\nA weighted gpa usually only applies if you're taking Advanced Placement classes or college level courses.
