💡 GPA Tips
- • GPA is the weighted average of all grades
- • Credit hours determine the weight of each course
- • Higher credit courses have more impact on GPA
- • Most schools use a 4.0 scale in the US
- • Many scholarships require a minimum GPA (usually 3.0+)
- • GPA is calculated each semester and cumulatively
Formula
GPA = (Sum of (Grade Point × Credits)) ÷ Total Credits
Example: (4.0×4 + 3.0×3) ÷ (4+3) = 25 ÷ 7 = 3.57
How it works
GPA = (Sum of (Grade Point × Credit Hours)) ÷ Total Credit Hours Grade Scale (4.0): A = 4.0, A- = 3.7 B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7 C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7 D = 1.0, F = 0.0 Example (4 courses): Math (A, 4 credits) = 4.0 × 4 = 16.0 Science (B, 3 credits) = 3.0 × 3 = 9.0 English (A-, 4 credits) = 3.7 × 4 = 14.8 History (B+, 3 credits) = 3.3 × 3 = 9.9 GPA = (16.0 + 9.0 + 14.8 + 9.9) ÷ 14 = 3.63
