<p>How do you calculate your UW GPA? I know my weighted one, but every time I visited my GC, I forgot to ask for UW. Is there any way I can calculate it on my own?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>A = 4.0
A- = 3.66666
B+ = 3.33333
B = 3.0</p>
<p>etc down the scale, with each increment in + or - being 1/3 of a point.</p>
<p>Add up your number of As, multiply by 4. Add up your number of A-, multiply by 3.6666, and so on. Then add all of those products up and divide by the total number of classes you've taken. If some of your classes are all year and some are only one semester, multiply the one-semester classes by half (A = 2, B = 1.5, etc), and then count them as only half a class in the final denominator.</p>
<p>That's your unweighted GPA!</p>
<p>Just so you know, many colleges recalculate gpas based on their own standards, which often means not including classes like gym and health in their calculations. Some colleges put this info on their web sites in the admissions section.</p>
<p>I have a related question. My weighted GPA is 98.5 on a 100-point scale. During all of high school I have only ever had one B+ class grade, all the rest were mostly A+ or A, a few A-. Does this mean my GPA on a 4pt scale is around 4? I'd estimate my unweighted GPA to be about 95 (an A).</p>
<p>Some high schools count an A+ as 4.33333, and some just count it as 4.0. Depending on your proportion of A- to A to A+, your GPA would be somewhere between 3.66666 and 4.0... if your school uses the normal 100 point scale (93-100 = A, 90-93 = A-, etc) the a 98.5 is very high, quite close to a 4.0.</p>
