<p>How is this calculated? My understanding was A=4 B=3 C=2 then you average them.</p>
<p>Freshman year I received: 7B 2A 1C</p>
<p>I thought my gpa would be 3.1 but was listed at a little below that on my transcript. 3.067</p>
<p>The C I got was in a 4 credit class. Does is this averaged in different than 3 credit classes?</p>
<p>I do not know if this is different for different schools but I was just curious how it worked.</p>
<p>yes… a 4 credit class is worth more than a 3 credit class. It’s a weighted average. Basically,you need to know how many credits of each grade you got. Not how many classes.</p>
<p>If you got an A in a 5 credit class, and a C in a 1 credit class, that doesn’t mean your GPA is 3. Your GPA would be</p>
<p>(A<em>5 + C</em>1)/6 = GPA
(4<em>5 + 2</em>1)/6 = GPA
21/6 = GPA
3.5 = GPA</p>
<p>Divide by 6 in this example because you took 6 total credits.</p>
<p>Ignore the classes, how many credits, they all, all of that. Think of it like this, how many credits did I get an A in? How many credits did I get a B in? A C in? Average the GPA like that. </p>
<p>If you had 21 credits of Bs, 6 credits of As, and 4 credits of Cs, then your average grade per credit is (21<em>3 + 6</em>4 + 4*2) / (21 + 6 + 4) = 3.0645.</p>
<p>Or if I way underestimated your intelligence, yeah, it’s just a weighted average.</p>
