<p>Hi there everyone </p>
<p>Just finished second quarter of my first year with a 3.39ish and my cumulative is about 3.4. I've taken 28 units so far, and I need to bring it up to a 3.7-3.8ish by the end of my second year. Is it possible-would pretty much just need to get straight As from here on out?</p>
<p>I don’t see how you could without getting straight A’s as you’ve mentioned. Try to use the GPA calculator in Student Access. It’s really helpful. It’ll probably be easier though. Winter quarter was tough 
Why by the end of your second year though?</p>
<p>Yeah pretty much straight A’s. No A-'s.</p>
<p>You’d definitely need A’s. If you received a low enough grade in a class to retake - do it! That will boost your GPA, unless you mess up again.</p>
<p>Assuming you have 95.2 grade points, divided by 28 units = 3.4. Say you take… 14 units per quarter, meaning you have 4 more quarters til the end of second year = 14x4 = 56 more units.</p>
<p>(Current grade points + X grade points)/(Current units + Future units) = 3.8</p>
<p>(95.2 + X)/(28+56) = 3.8</p>
<p>So, you need 319.2 grade points out of 84 units at the end of your second year.
You currently have 95.2 grade points out of 28 units.</p>
<p>This means within the next 56 units, you need to accumulate (319.2-95.2) 224 grade points.</p>
<p>224 grade points / 56 units = 4.0 (exactly).</p>
<p>What this means in an ideal condition: You will need to take 14 units for Spring, Fall, Winter and the following Spring and get A’s (4.0) in EVERY SINGLE CLASS to end up with 224 grade points for the 56 units, which will give you a 3.80 at the end of Spring quarter.</p>
