So my cumulative gpa is extremely low due to me not caring about my gpa/grades until my junior year of HS. It’s 3.337. I’m now in my senior year of hs and if I manage to get straight A’s during my first semester, how much will that raise my cumulative gpa? Thanks in advance!
@brettanne16 Calculate it yourself. If you can’t do it with current grades and assumed grades, we have bigger fish to fry.
@basedchem This is probably be a stupid question, but how do I do that? Is there a website I can use?
- Find how your school weights grades.
- Grab any calculator. Literally like the ones you use in your math class.
- Calculate your GPA.
@basedchem Great, thanks!
I’m going to assume unweighted for simplicity.
An average of 3.337 over six semesters is like getting 3.337 every semester for six semesters.
6 * 3.337
Getting straight A’s gives you a 4.0. This is for one semester.
1 * 4.0
Average.
(6 * 3.337 + 1 * 4.0) divided by 7 semesters.
I got 3.43.
I am just going to tell you frankly. It will look good that you are trying in senior and junior year, but all A’s by your senior year isn’t going to do much for college apps, not is you kind of screwed your GPA in previous years bc colleges don’t really look at your senior year, they focus on junior and sophomore year, so there isn’t much point. By all means continue to try to get great grades senior year, if will still help, but it will raise your GPA very much, prob about .1 maybe .2 if your lucky.
