Missouri State University now requires a 23 on your ACT.  GPA doesn't matter unless you apply for scholarships and that doesn't matter.  What matters is, if you can show financial need.   If you parents make $40,000, good-luck getting any scholarships.  I have been there.  Also if you parents make $40,000, doesn't matter single or combined, you will NOT, get any government help, such as pell.\n\nI don't know about the SAT,  but ACT, you will need at least a 23, maybe more for a California school.\n\nWhat you can do is, if you score isn't high enough, go to a community college until you get 60 hours and transfer to any state university you want.   Once a students has 60 hours, well over 60 hours, rules don't apply because you already proved yourself to be a college student.   I know this, because this is what I did.\n\nAlso, I want to note, don't worry so much about not getting admitted.   Admission for all colleges are going way down.  Nobody believes it is worth it and in our poor economy, unfortunately, they are right.   So, a lot of colleges will take you because they need someone paying for their salaries.   Don't just think you are going to get a free-ride though,  scholarships are way down, money is very tight in this country right now, so bet on borrowing money.

It is very difficult and competitive to get into U.S. Pharmacy schools.  California is the most competitive state.  Most of their schools want to see a bachelors.  To be competitive you'll need a GPA of 3.4 and a PCAT score of 75.   www.pharmcas.org  has acceptance statistics for all the pharmcas schools.\nGood luck

It depends how high in the grad school ladder you want to go. If you want to go to a prestigious top 20 University, you probably won't get in unless you have top grades. If you want to go to something like University of California-Davis, you will be able to do so with about 3.3+ GPA plus. Your best bet to get into a really good program is to do your Masters at say a state school like San Jose State University, and you apply afterwards to a Ph.D program. Everyone I know that done this has been able to enter a good school, and if you did really well in your masters (3.6+), probably University of California-San Diego (top 10 in biological programs) will take you.

If you are worried about how your GPA will translate to colleges, the school should already have a standard method for reporting the GPA to universities. You can easily find this out by talking to your guidance counselor at the HS and the admissions staff at a university you are interested in. You won't have to do anything personnally to get the GPA transferred. The schools will take of that for you.

All you can do is apply...\n\nMy suggestion would be to go to your local community college and then transfer.  If you have great grades there, you can get into pretty much any college.

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.

UC-Irvine?  Your grades are probably fine.  Do well on the SAT or ACT, write a good application and get good recommendations and you'll get in.\n\nTry for UCLA, though: way cooler school!

If you want to be admitted in one of undergraduate schools in u.s from high school, you need at least 80% + high TOEFL (and/or SAT/CAT) test score.  If your test score is high, your requirement for G.P.A gets lower. However, schools always set thier basic criteria.\n\nyou will need about 3.5 G.P.A and 550 in the old TOEFL test for being admitted to a good college.

Colleges look at GPA, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular activities(not including disciplinary actions), and your essay application.  For more information and admittance requirements go to the college website you would like to attend.  It will tell you what criteria you must meet in order to be accepted.

It depends on how your school calculates GPAs. Were any of these grades minuses or pluses? Ask for a transcript and you'll know for sure, but if the grades you listed are straight As and Bs (including the F), then your GPA should be somewhere around a 3.0, +/- .25. This is only true if this is your first semester in college. If not, you need to figure them in with your existing GPA.\n\nWithout the F, it would been around a 3.6.\n\nGet tutoring if you're having difficulty with the classwork.\n\nStudent GPA tools\nhttp://www.image-ination.com/test_maker/gpa.html\n\nGrading system in the United States\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_(education)#United_States\n\n_______________________

It depends on the scale and weight of the grades.  Presuming a four point scale and equally weighted classes, two A's (4.0) and one C (2.0) divided by four classes gives you a GPA of 2.5.  F's give you no points.

It depends on your standards.  \nA perfect GPA is a 4.0 (or straight A's).\n--This is very impressive and will "wow" people\n3.5 = "B+" average\n--This would be impressive\n3.0 = "B" average   \n--This is better than average, quite good\n2.5 = "C+" average  \n--Usually this is what you need to have\n2.0 = "C" average\n--Anything below that and you're toast.
