How do you calculate GPA? What is mine?

<p>I'm really confused with how to measure UW and W GPA on a 4.0 scale and how APs and Honors Classes affect it. I seem to get different answers everywhere.</p>

<p>Freshman Year
Spanish 9-93
English 9-96
Italian I-96
World History I-98
Algebra II-92
Sociology I-99
Conceptual Physics I-94</p>

<p>No honors Classes</p>

<p>Sophomore Year (Unweighted)
Precalc H- 80
Bio H-89
English H- 93
French -98
History-96
Art-95
Graph Comm-91</p>

<p>Unweighted is really what’s important since it’s more “standardized” than unweighted which can mean anything.</p>

<p>Assuming your school uses a system where 60% is minimum passing, which is probably the case if you live in the US or Canada…</p>

<p>93 or above = 4.0
90-92 = 3.7
87-89 = 3.3
83-86 = 3.0
80-82 = 2.7</p>

<p>Just average it all up. Additionally, to get a better feel of what UMich cares about only include academic classes, so exclude Art, possibly Graph Comm (I don’t know what that is).</p>

<p>In my school 69 and under is failing and graph comm is graphic communications LOL. But anyways thanks</p>

<p>It’s a big mess with converting into letter grades and finding out how many credits you’re getting for each class (at my school, classes were either .5, .75, or 1 credit for the full year) and then weighing them appropriately and THEN figuring out how to get your WGPA based on how your school weighs its honors and AP courses. There are about a million different possible solutions.</p>

<p>Just do your best and as long as you have a high 100.00 scale grade you’ll be fine. I didn’t find out what my 4.0 scale GPA was until orientation day at UMich when I saw my placement exam result sheet. I had ~96.5 weighted average on the 100 point scale which turned out to be a 3.90 on the 4.0 scale.</p>
