<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Basically, I need quick help with calculating GPA.
What would 2 Bs make my CUMMULATIVE UW GPA be?</p>
<p>Also, how would that affect my chances at HYPS seeing that I got these 2 Bs my Junior year? ><</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>At my school, a B would be an equivalent of 3.1. But maybe it’s different for yours.</p>
<p>All As are 4 and Bs are 3 add up all the As and Bs then divide by total amount. Ex. 3 A and 1 B = (4 +4+4+3)/4 =15/4=3.75 uw gpa</p>
<p>obviously your cumulative UW GPA encompasses all of your grades in h.s. from freshman year onward. So you can’t really calculate your UW GPA with just two classes. </p>
<p>To calculate your UW GPA do the following:
- Find out the standard GPA points assigned for each letter grade at your school (A+/A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, etc. etc.).
- Sum up all of your classes since freshman year using the points your school assigns.
- Divide by the number of classes to get your UW GPA. </p>
<p>example: You have taken 30 classes since freshman year…15 were A/A+, 10 were A-, 3 were B+, and 2 were B. Therefore your UW GPA would be: (15<em>4+10</em>3.7+3<em>3.3+2</em>3) / (30) = 3.76. </p>
<p>To calculate your weighted GPA you would just change the points assigned from #1 for each honors & AP class based on how your school assigns weights…for example they might say that an A+/A in an honors course counts for 4.5 instead of 4.0 and for an AP class it counts for 5.0. </p>
<p>Getting a few individual B grades won’t impact you too much for HYPS, what matters is that you have a high cumulative GPA and are ranked in at least the top 10% of your class.</p>
<p>The grades need to be multiplied by the number of credits each class is worth (for instance a 1/2 year class may only be worth 1/2 credit). Then divide by the total number of credits earned.</p>
