<p>It is the beginning of second semester of sophomore year and I have a 3.14 UW and a 3.83 W.
If I got All A's this semester, next year both semesters, and one semester Senior year, what would my GPA be at college admissions time?</p>
<p>every high school’s GPA system is different. this is a question better suited to your counselor. send them an email or go visit them; that’s the only way you’ll get an accurate answer.</p>
<p>yeah, you’re really going to have to look at your school’s grading system. but if you want to attempt to calculate it yourself, idk your schools weighted system but the unweighted system tends to be:
A 4.0
A- 3.7
B+ 3.3
B 3.0
B- 2.7
C 2.3
C- 2.0
and so on, but some schools use different systems; i would try calculating your current gpa from your main classes using this scale to see if this is the system that your school uses, then plug in all your estimated grades and recalculate it for your estimated gpa.</p>
<p>for example let’s say you took 1 class each year, freshman year you got a B+ and sophomore year you got an A-. you would average those two together, so:
3.3+3.7=7 7/2= 3.5 so that would be your gpa.</p>
<p>but if you don’t want to figure this out yourself, just ask your counselor about how it works and how much you can improve your gpa. good luck!! :)</p>
<p>The scale is
A-89.5-100- 4
B-79.5-89.4-3
C- 69.5-79.4-2
D-1
E-0</p>
<p>So can anyone calculate?
Please I have no idea if I am doing it right.</p>
<p>I calculate that to be a 3.0, but any pluses or minuses could account for the difference.</p>
<p>I can calculate your projected GPA with all "A"s from here out for you. How many courses will you be taking each semester?</p>
<p>How is it 3.0 (decrease)?
I am taking seven classes evry semester.</p>
<p>smwhtslghtlydzed— my school uses A+ as 4.3</p>
<p>but it’s easy, just add them all up and then divide by how many classes</p>
<p>Would it work if I calculated all the classes I have yet to take, then divided by the # of classes.
And then add that to 3.14?</p>
<p>OK, I gave it a shot based on some quick assumptions. Since you have 10 grades in three semesters, I’m assuming you take 4 classes per semester, but that some of them (P.E. for example) aren’t included in your GPA calculation. So I further assumed that you’ll take 16 more classes over the next 4 semesters, and that you’ll receive "A"s in all of them. Given all that, I calculate your unweighted GPA after 1st semester senior year to be 3.615.</p>
<p>I hope that helps.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>If you’re taking seven classes every semester, you should have 21 semester grades, but you only listed 10.</p>
<p>I’ve set up a simple spreadsheet for this calculation. I’ll stick with you and we can figure it out.</p>
<p>I just figured it out. So far you must have 66 grade points for 21 classes, which is a GPA of 3.146. If you take 28 more classes over the next 4 semesters and get "A"s in all of them, you’ll end up with 178 grade points over 49 classes, or an overall GPA of 3.633.</p>
<p>Ok this is my plan.
I have 7 classes second semester of sophomore year, then 14 total classes junior year, then 7 classes senior year first semester, so 28 classes total left.
I have a 3.14 now, but if I get 28 A’s, then what?
Also, I am taking online classes over the summer that the school agreed to add to my GPA. ( two of these)
So 4 more A’s ( two semesters each)
My grandpa died on the day before exams, so I got a D on one. Otherwise, I am completely clean, more B’s then A’s though. 32 A’s.</p>
<p>Darn there goes my chances at good colleges…</p>
<p>We’re totally on the same page here. I just re-calculated your GPA including four "A"s from your summer school classes. I came up with an unweighted 3.66.</p>
<p>
I disagree. Maybe you won’t get into HYPS, but there are a lot of good schools within your reach. Gettiing the 4.0 from here out won’t be easy, though, so work hard and hang in there.</p>
<p>What about these?
Johns Hopkins
Northwestern
WashU st.louis
Vanderbilt
Cornell ( no chance right?)</p>
<p>I don’t really know about your chances at those colleges, but I do know that if you keep to your straight “A” plan you will have a tremendous upward trend in grades. That will go a long way toward overcoming the negative impact of your early low grades.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>What do I have to do to make that a 3.75?</p>
<p>If you could invent a time machine and go back and retake a few classes that would work. Just raise six semesters worth of classes by one grade each, and you’d have a 3.755.</p>
<p>Alternatively, if there’s any way you can convince your school to remove a few of your courses and grades from your transcript, that would raise your GPA. If your “D” was for both semesters of a year long course, getting that off your transcript would get you up to a 3.745; that plus getting a “C” off for one semester would get you to a 3.782.</p>
<p>I can’t imagine how you’d convince your school to delete courses off of your transcript, but it’s probably more likely than inventing a time machine.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Edit to add: I just realized that I was joking around on another one of your threads a week or two ago and made up some crazy GPA numbers. I promise you, though, that the GPA calculations I’m giving you on this thread are real. I’m being serious and I’m trying to help you.</p>
