gpa calculation

<p>how is gpa calculated at ucla? a=? b=? and how do they calculate pluses and minuses, like what would a b- be?</p>

<p>A+/A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7</p>

<p>and so on...</p>

<p>but you can always just use the "GPA Calculator" on myucla to calculate your gpa</p>

<p>Is it just me, or is the MyUCLA GPA calculator broken right now?
It's not showing my cumulative GPA (listed as N/A) or my cumulative units (listed as 0.0).
The GPA Calculator usually works during the inter-quarter period... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>minuses and plusses don't count when they're calculating your highschool gpa, do they?????</p>

<p>No, they don't. That's for GPA here.</p>

<p>Thank you, ucapplicant05. I had the same question myself.</p>

<p>o wow, so if they count pluses and minuses, is it harder to get a good gpa at UCLA than hs?</p>

<p>Yes, generally a good gpa at college is harder to get than at high school. A good GPA in high school would be close to 4.0 UW whereas in college, it's more like 3.5.</p>

<p>3.2+ is pretty good. Since 3.3 is a B+ average, that's still quite difficult, esp. for engineering students.</p>

<p>by the way, i know of 2 kinds of gpa (pre-major gpa and UCLA gpa), but i don't really get what they are. can anyone explain what the 2 are, and when do they start counting the UCLA gpa?</p>
