What's a good GPA for college graduation/bachelor's of science - biology?
155400
I think anything above a 3.0 counts as really good.  Then again, I go to a school where only 4 or 5 people have graduated with a 4.0 (our average grade really is a C...), so your standards may be different.  Are you planning to apply to grad schools?  Cause if not it doesn't make a whole lot of difference what your GPA was.\n\nCyanne, that was unnecessarily harsh.  He's clearly trying to improve his GPA, and that counts for a great deal.  Besides which, very few people graduate from my school with above a 3.5 GPA, and yet we have among the highest rates of graduates go on to earn PhDs of all colleges in the US, so at the very least it depends a great deal upon the instution from which he will graduate.

I think that someone like you would be the better student, and looked at better than the first.  When colleges look at grades and courses, they want to know that you know what you can handle.  They want good GPAs.  Great grades that keep you in the top of your class will get you into college.  What will help even more is if you went a step above just classes and participated in activities.  A person who just had great grades will not look as good to a college as someone who does well and has involved themselves in other activities, especially volunteering.  If you have that as well, then you are a shoe in.

whatever your GPA is divided by 10 \n\nthen multiply the quotient by 4. simple.

a GPA of a smart person~ =-)  It takes alot of work to have good grades!!!    A-  mostly A but a few B 's

This is your Grade Point Average. Most schools use a A-,A,A+ scale. For example, if you get a 98 in Calculus, you would earn an A+ which is worth 4.33 points multiplied by how many hours of credit you get for that class (probably either 3 or 4). Add up all of your hours multiplied by their value and then divide by the total hours you took and you'll get your GPA. \nA+=4.33\nA=4\nA-=3.66\nB+=3.33\nB=3\nB-=2.66\nC+=2.33\nC=2\nC-=1.66\n\nFor example:\n\n3 hours Math 98=A+ ==3*4.33= 13 points\n4 hours Science 80=B- ==4*2.66= 10.64 points\n3 hours Chemistry 95=A ==3*4= 12 points\n1 hour PE 75=C ==1*2= 2 points\n4 hours Physics 88=B+ ==4*3.33= 13.32 points\n\nTotal Points: 50.96\nTotal Hours: 15\nGPA: 50.96/15 = 3.397

BSc. BioTech. is good if you pass it with good marks. But in any case you have to do PG.\nThe PG fields may be in BioTech/FoodTech/Bioinformatics.

That's a pretty good score. - Congratulations! But it depends on what school you want to get into. Probably some Ivy leagues won't think that's good enough.

Studying for biology can seem overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. If you follow a few simple steps, studying for biology will be less stressful and more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of several helpful biology study tips for biology students. Whether you're in middle school, high school, or college, these tips are bound to produce results!\n\nBiology Study Tips\n\nBio-Study Tip 1\n\nAlways read the lecture material before the classroom lecture. I know, I know--you don't have time, but believe me, it makes an immense difference. \n\nBio-Study Tip 2\n\nBiology, like most sciences, is hands-on. Most of us learn best when we are actively participating in a "topic." So make sure to pay attention in lab sessions and actually perform the experiments. Remember, you won't be graded on your lab partner's ability to perform an experiment, but your own.\n\nBio-Study Tip 3\n\nSit in the front of the class. Simple, yet effective. College students, pay close attention. You'll need recommendations one day, so make sure your professor knows you by name and you aren't 1 face in 400.\n\nBio-Study Tip 4\n\nCompare notes with a friend. Since much of biology tends to be abstract, have a "note buddy." Each day after class compare notes with your buddy and fill in any gaps. Two heads are better than one!\n\nBio-Study Tip 5\n\nUse the "lull" period between classes to immediately review the biology notes you have just taken. \n\nBio-Study Tip 6\n\nDon't cram! As a rule, you should start studying for biology exams a minimum of two weeks prior to the exam. \n\nBio-Study Tip 7\n\nThis tip is very important -- stay awake in class. I've observed too many people snoozing (even snoring!) in the middle of class. Osmosis may work for water absorption, but it won't work when it comes time for biology exams. \n\nBio-Study Tip 8\n\nFind some useful resources to help you when you study after class. Here are a few resources that I would suggest to help make learning biology interesting and fun:

For pre-med students, a B.S in Biology is better.

The chances are good if thats something you feel compelled enough to pursue.  Attaining that goal will require hard work, long nights, schooling, and a little finanical help from the government.  If your highschool grades were good enough combined with test scores you may be eligible for scholarships which will greatly aid you in becoming a molecular biologist. You will certainly need to go to college but afterwards id imagine there are plenty of job opportunities around.  The key is finding your own path to success at that level.

I think that Ace Librarian has given you a great answer but it also depends on your background, GPA and ACT are not everything!  I can tell you from experience since I graduated from U of M.

Having worked and studied at a prominent institution for marine biology, I can tell you it is a brutal field. Very very competitive. \n\nIf you really want to do it, you should get a very strong grounding in the basic sciences. A serious 4 or 5 year bachelor's-level biology degree with lots of genetics and molecular biology and biochemistry, plus math and statistics probably. Then a PhD probably; this will take at least 10+ years from high school. Then several years of postdoctoral training. And it will still be an uphill fight. If you are African American, you might have some slight advantages because of affirmative action pressures. But there are no promises, no guarantees.  \n\nMy advice? Medical school. It is far far easier to get in, and you actually have a chance to get a job after.

It all depends on your school system. Normally, it is 4.0 = A+, 3.5 = A-, and 3.0 = B+ and so forth... Some classes- such as college classes have a 5.0 GPA system. I'd recommend looking up online, from ASKJeeves, for a GPA calculator or look up: How can I find out what my GPA is?\n\nGood luck!\n\nMichelle

I know where I go to school your GPA can be weighted by AP or dual-enrolment (college) classes.  That's the only way I know you can get above a 4.0.  Also, you don't have to get a 100% in all your classes to have a 4.0. You just have to have all A's.

Your GPA for the grades you have listed here is the total of points divided by the number of classes. So 761.4 is the total divided by 8 classes is 95.175.  Though usually your GPA carries over every year so you would need your Freshman class grades added in this equation to get your true average.  Also how many credits each class is worth would change the value, as chemistry is more credits than P.E. usually by something like Chem 5 -P.E. 1/2.\n  I'm sure if you ask your guidance counselor they would be happy to show you how your average is calculated.

I'm a bioengineering major at UCSD. It's a pretty challenging major at my school, where they kick you out of the major if you can't maintain a 3.0 GPA. Though it really depends on how hard you work. Your high school education will also determine how well you do. I've seen validictorians from poorer-performing high schools get C averages and B-average students from higher-performing high schools get A averages in college.\n\nThe bioengineering curriculum at my college is heavily focused on the engineering and physics aspects. The lower-division classes are general chemistry, biology, and physics while the upper-division classes are almost all engineering. Engineering, in my opinion, is a pain in the butt. I used to like math until I took math courses here. On the other hand, all the literature and philosophy courses I hated in high school are absolutely amazing here.\n\nIf you're in bioengineering, you'll probably continue studying in graduate school for a BS/MS degree, or go directly into industry.\n\nIt really depends on what you want to do. I can't tell you much unless I get more info. You should contact some of the undergrad bioengineers at your school. Learn to use The Facebook. It's very helpful for finding students and friends in college.

i m not sure wat do u mean by biology 12 but i know how to do well in bio since i took Bio 2 AP and 1 honors in high school to be honest with u i had 91% and i m not braging because there were alot of people who had higher grades than me \nwhat i did was just read through notes and type them every day it took be less than 30 minutes but whenever i took the test i always had an "A" bio is easy because all u have to do is just memorize stuff
