Depends on what college you want to go.  You probably would need atleast an 1800 for the higher ranked colleges.

Yes,  Iowa State University has one.\n\nhttp://www.iastate.edu/~registrar/gpa-calc/gpaCalculator.html

the 2 mean different things.\n\n2.2 means you got a lower second class degree - to do with your performance in exams mainly. a GPA is the average of all your grades in all your classes over all 4 years of the US degree, which will have included lots of classes you wouldnt have done at a UK university as we specialise much earlier on, whereas in the states they have all their required courses etc.

If you took (or take) higher level math courses and perform well on them then the D should not affect you at any college that will accept a 3.8 GPA (nearly all of them!).  Many colleges have a section on their applications for providing additional information.  If you have a legitimate reason for performing poorly that semester then write it there--but don't make it sound like you are making up excuses.  Definitely point out the better grades that were earned later on.\n\nI had a couple Ds my freshman year of high school (including one in Geometry 1st semester) because I switched schools 3 weeks before 1st semester ended and the new school's curriculum was totally different and I bombed the finals.  I was still accepted to several excellent top-level schools, including one Ivy League school with a full scholarship.

Not exactly, but any college review site like princetonreview.com will give you an average GPA.

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.

Quite possibly, NO. This will depend a bit on what your University and State require as "good academic standing". Generally speaking they are likely to require a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale or better. If you do not meet that, you may still be able to have temporary eligibility on a probationary level. Meaning, you will be placed on academic probation until you reach 2.0 or better. During that time if you continue to slip, you will likely lose all eligibility. \n\nContact your financial aid office for specifics for your location. Meanwhile, you should start taking a good look at yourself and your study habits that have brought you to this point. College life is great for having a good time, but eventually you have to come out the other side and make something of yourself.\n\nGood Luck

Is it possible to be accepted to an ivy league school with a 3.88?  It is possible, but the probability of you being accepted might not be very high.  Students that are #1 in their high school class have been denied from Ivy League schools... keep this in mind.  Students with 4.0 GPAs have been denied.  \n\nWhen college admissions representatives make decisions on admittance to a university, they look at everything.  We not only look at GPA, but look at test scores, activities, personal statements, and recommendations.  Most schools look at the entire individual.  \n\nI do not want to discourage you from applying to an Ivy League School, but keep your options open and apply to non-ivy league schools as well.  Many of the ivy league school's acceptance rates are around 9%, which means that 9% of those that apply get in and the rest are denied.  Apply if it is your dream, but be realistic and apply to other schools as well.

Well, speaking from my experience, you can get into college with crap math grades.  For instance when I was in 9th and 10th, I screwed around all the time and even though I was able to do well I basically did nothing but skip and sleep, my gpa in 9th was2.1 and 1.8 in 10th.  Then I decided to try to show up more and do some work and got decent gpa's the next two years, a 3.8 and 4.0.  Then I took my ACT's and maxed those and even though I didn't have any extra curriculars I was accepted at alot of decent schools. UCLA, Michigan, Princeton, NYU, to name a few.  Alot depends on what kind of school you are looking for, also.  Be optimistic, but realistic.  Keep up the good work and you will be rewarded.

You must check with each individual school that you are interested in applying to. Many have different requirements. Good luck!

Don't worry about the past.  Just keep taking courses to raise your GPA.  Mine was about a 2.5 when I graduated; I went back later and took my pre-reqs and some grad courses and now I'm starting med school this fall (in the US, by the way!). Don't listen to people who are just jealous.

If plus/minus grades are part of your school's GPA system, it depends on what value they give each grade.  \n\nIf not, the average would be 2.33.
