Frequently Asked Questions
GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical representation of your academic performance. It's calculated by dividing the total grade points earned by the total credit hours attempted. Each letter grade corresponds to a point value (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0).
Unweighted GPA treats all courses equally on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA gives extra points for advanced courses like AP, IB, or Honors classes, typically adding 0.5-1.0 points to the standard grade value, allowing GPAs to exceed 4.0.
Cumulative GPA includes all courses from all semesters. Add up all grade points from every course, then divide by the total credit hours from all semesters. This gives you your overall academic performance across your entire academic career.
GPA requirements vary by college. Generally, competitive colleges prefer GPAs of 3.5 or higher, while highly selective schools often look for GPAs above 3.8. However, admissions consider many factors beyond GPA, including test scores, extracurriculars, and essays.
Yes, you can improve your GPA by earning higher grades in future courses. The impact depends on how many credit hours you've already completed. Early in your academic career, each course has more influence on your cumulative GPA than later courses.
Plus and minus grades typically adjust the point value by 0.3 points. For example, a B+ might be worth 3.3 points instead of 3.0 for a regular B, while a B- might be worth 2.7 points. However, policies vary by institution.
Generally, a GPA of 3.0 or above is considered good, 3.5+ is very good, and 3.8+ is excellent. However, "good" depends on your goals, field of study, and the competitiveness of programs you're interested in pursuing.
It's helpful to calculate your GPA at the end of each semester to track your academic progress. Many students also calculate it mid-semester to see if they need to adjust their study habits or seek additional help in challenging courses.
