Figuring out your GPA

<p>How do you figure out your GPA?
Do you take ALL grades for each class (meaning for each term) or the averages for those classes?
ex: My final averages for all my classes goes as follows: English: A, Geometry: A-, Global Studies 9:A-, Earth Science: A, French: A-, Gym: A, Health: A+
But I have gotten 4 B+'s and 1 B.</p>

<p>Ask your school or GC how they handle it. Each school is different.</p>

<p>My school does it by semester, because some classes are just a semester long and there's also the issue of what if a student gets a B+ one semester and an A- the next semester in the same class. Your school may do it differently though, so ask your school or GC, or see if any of your friends/classmates know (you'd probably be able to contact them more easily over the summer).</p>

<p>so... for those of you who have seen your transcripts.... how many decimal places ... does your school round the decimals to two places or ????</p>

<p>n.nnn
or
n.nn
or
?</p>

<p>I am not quite sure.
I'm pretty sure it's n.nn though</p>

<p>E-mail the colleges you are interested in and ask how they figure GPA for admissions purposes. You will most likely get a different answer from each school.</p>

<p>our school rounds to three decimal places
ie 3.999</p>

<p>Our school rounds to four.</p>
