<p>is 3.87 a low GPA?
it is weighted.</p>
<p>What is considered a reasonable GPA for MIT?</p>
<p>What’s it unweighted?</p>
<p>unweighted GPA is more important as many HS have grade inflations</p>
<p>What is you rank? That is more important since it compares you with your student body</p>
<p>we don´t rank in our school but im dying to know…
We use the 100 scale system and my unweighted GPA is around 92.6.
I took challenging courses throughout all four years.</p>
<p>I have never understood the 4 point system. Can someone explain?
For what I understand, if you have every class above a 90, it´s a 4.0
Is this true?
For the 3.87, I just divided my 100 scale point by 25.
How does this work?</p>
<p>A = 4
B = 3
C = 2
D = 1
F = 0</p>
<p>Say you have 5 classes with A’s and and 1 class of a B. You take:</p>
<p>(5 classes x 4 points/class) + (1 class x 3 points/class) = 23
Divide by 6 classes total, this gives you 3.83. That’s your GPA.</p>
<p>Though it seems you have a percent system. I don’t know how they handle conversions.</p>
<p>It’s just a statistic. And GPA calculation varies from school to school. </p>
<p>That being said, why do people mention their GPA to two decimal places anyway? What’s the big difference between a 3.88 and a 3.89?</p>
<p>You state one decimal if you can round it up; otherwise you state two.</p>
<p>Lol no I just made that up.</p>
<p>Do you take your yearly average and factor that in or is it every quarter grade or something?</p>
<p>At my school, at least, A+, A, and A- were all different in terms of GPA (A+ = 4.3, A = 4.0, A- = 3.7). That was just my school, though. Also, we did it by year, not by quarter.</p>
