"Grade points"

<p>For the “college information” section of the application, it asks me to enter my “grade points” at a community college (I took classes over the summer). What is that?</p>

<p>It is likely asking for the number of grade points you earned based on the grade you received in the class. For example, usually an A=4.0 grade points, A- = 3.7 grade points, B+ = 3.3 grade points, etc. Adding up the grade points you earned in each class gives you your overall grade point average, or GPA.</p>
