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.

If your GPA is based on a "100" scale, then divide your GPA by 25 to get the 4-point correlation.\n\n(It would be 3.49712)

1) use your own calculation based on your grades/exams and mention how you calculated it in your application\n\nOR \n\n2) just mention in your application that GPA is not issued in your system of education.

Getting into a good school and then actually getting good grades.  There are some students who just "get it" and are able to write like they want you to, then there are people like me, whose GPA would make an excellent ERA if I were a major league pitcher.

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

Usually, I think anyway, GPA is calculated by letter grade, at least that's how it was done at my high school. For example: 90-100=A which would be 4 points. 80-89=B which would be 3 points. 70-79=C, 2 points. 60-69=D, 1 point. Anything lower=0. As far as college goes, I have yet to figure that out because you now also include how many credit hours each sourse is worth.\n\nAnyway, so after you figure out all the points you earned, you add them up and divide by the number of classes you had. And that equals your GPA.\n\nFor example:\nLEt's say you got 3 A's and 2 B's. 3 A's would be 12 points, 2 B's would be 6 points. So that's 18 points. Divide that by 5 (the # of classes) and that would equal 3.6

GPA of 1 =D\nGPA of 2 = C\nGPA of 3 = B\nGPA of 4 = A\n \nNote: for some undergraduate majors the GPA is weighted (scaled up) when being considered for Graduate School admission. This is to make a fair playing Field for those who majored in particularly challenging majors

A - 4 points\nB - 3 points\nC - 2 points\nD - 1 point\n\nAdd the number of points you have and divide by the number of classes. That's the GPA. (4.0 is highest, unless the classes are weighted)\n\n90%-100% - A\n80%-89% - B\n70%-79% - C\n60%-69% - D\n50%-59% - F

Divide your GPA with base\ni.e. if your GPA is 3.00 on a scale of 4.00 then\n 3.00\n ----- x 100\n 4.00\n\nAnswer = 75%

Like all the good colleges, a high GPA, high SAT, well-written essay, sufficient extra-curricular activities/competitions, honest and positive recommendation letters etc. are recommended. None of the good colleges have a firm limit "If you don't have a 3.0 you won't get in" or "If you have a 4.0 you're guaranteed." They look at everything and see if there's a pattern of a good student behind it. If they can figure out who you are through the application and determine that you as a person are worthwhile then you'll probably get in.\n\nSo for example, BS'ing your essay is going to hurt more than missing a 4.0 because of just one B. Joining no extracurriculars is going to hurt you more than getting a slightly low score on your first SAT. And a lot of times its your fit with your college, how much room they have, and if they already have or badly need someone like you.\n\nTuition is nominally almost $50k a year, but like all the good colleges, admissions is entirely merit-based and financial-need-blind, and financial aid is entirely need-based and merit-blind. So if you're not able to pay all $50k a year (like most people), you won't, and it won't hurt your chances.

You may get above a 2.00 if you get all A's and A's on your final.I could figure it allgpa. out if i had all your grade.But at my school my gpa is from 9th till present they avg in my 9th and 10th gpa in to my current. \nA's=4\nB's=3\nC=2\nD=1\nF=0 and i think fourth 9wk it double.

3.00, most of the students I met that tried to go into engineering had at least a 2.50 GPA and it was good enough for them...

Going strictly by the numbers, overall GPA counts but also the GPA in the last year or two.  If it is above the overall average that will help.  We understand that it often takes a year to get on track and grades may suffer a little.  Also, the last year or two is focused on the meat of the degree.  If you demonstrate competence in those courses, it is a positive.  It's assumed that graduate courses will be more focused in the degree discipline and less so on general education requirements where your GPA may have been lower.

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.

It really depends on what school you want to go to and where. The best school in my state is selective and accepts those only with a 3.5 or higher. You will have to look at each individual school and see what their standards are. Applying never hurts!

GPA is a grade point average. Usually your overall high school GPA is taken from all you final grades in all your classes for all four years (it may vary with each school, country, etc...im not sure). It can be calculated from each grading period though Just use the current grades on your report card (or whatever you get) instead of your final grades. On a 4.0 scale an A=4.0 B=3.0 C=2.0 and D=1.0. Match up the letter grade with the correct number and take the average. \n\nEx: If you get an A, B, B, A, C then your grade point average would be calculated as follows: 4+3+3+4+2 all divided by 5. So it would be 3.2. \n\nKinda confusing, but I hope it helps.
