<p>I just received my GPA for the fall semester of my freshman year and I have a 3.62 cumulative GPA.
Is there any way I can raise this GPA possibly to a 4.0 before next fall, or have anything close by then?</p>
<p>this is a simple math problem … you can figure it out easily.</p>
<p>PS - I’m not trying to be a jerk. You know how many credits you took last fall and are taking this spring … we don’t. You know your schools grading scale … we don’t. Give you self the max GPA for the spring and figure out your new GPA.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re right. I guess then I would be wondering how my lower than a 4.0 GPA will effect my transfer options for Berkeley or Stanford.</p>
<p>At many community colleges, if you re-take a course, you can get the new grade to replace the old grade in your GPA. If that is indeed the case at your school, then you could re-take the courses where you received the lowest grades. This may be time-consuming and costly, but I don’t think that Berkeley or Stanford accept that many transfer students with college GPAs of 3.62</p>
<p>It is my first semester, so after some calculations the highest GPA I could get at the end of my two years would be a 3.91, and around transfer time, it would be like a 3.84 I think, so I guess maybe something more along those lines.</p>
<p>Forget about the calculations. Just aim for an A on every course. Set that in your mind. You will get an A on every course. </p>
