Well I am a Freshmen, and HS GPA calculation is totally different then College, and the Calculators can be confusing at times, but hey its nothing.

Sorta.

Depends how many B's and how Many A's.

If you ahve a 3.3 overall than as long as this semester is say 3.5 or 3.6 you should see a nice raise but again it all depends how many credit hours youroverall GPA is comprised of. If it's a 100 credit hours (3.3 GPA) than even a 3.6 (18 credit hours) won't raise it that much. If you only have 50 hoursput in for a 3.3 GPA than a 3.5 this semester should net a nice raise.

 

[justhotkicks]

8 credits with A = 4.0 x 8 = 32.0
6 credits with B = 3.0 x 6 = 18.0
4 credits with C = 2.0 x 4 = 8.0

18 credits total with 58.0 total points = 3.2222222222...

Oh, you're in HS?


I wouldn't worry about that too much.

They usually give you a weighted and unweighted GPA at the end.

You'll never figure out their weighted GPA formula unless you request it from the education board or something. It's not that simple. They havediff. values for diff. classes and s**t, at least where I live. Basically education board politics. I had this conversation with one of my teachers back in HS.


Just do well and than beast on the SAT's.

Colleges love to see a high SAT average near their school name in US News.

HAHA no Ima College Fresh, I`m saying the College GPA System is diffrent then the HS.

After this semester I will be at 31 hours *making me a sophmore* and I might take a Summer School course too. So I assume that how I do this semester willmake my overall GPA look mighty pretty
