<p>My high school didn't calculate GPA on a 4.0 scale or anything like that, so I'm not sure how it works. How does NYU calculate a GPA out of 4.0? Is it out of 4.0 for NYU? Thanks.</p>
<p>yep. I think it's something like 4.0 for A and A+, 3.7 for an A-, 3.3 for B+, 3.0 for B, 2.7 for B-. I'm not possitive, though. I found it on the website one day, and then I couldn't find it again later.</p>
<p>So say first semester you get 2 A's and A- and a B you take 4.0+4.0+3.7+3.0=14.7 then take 14.7/4 and you get 3.675 and thats your GPA? Then next semester you just add your next grades in with the old grades and divide by 8?</p>
<p>Yeah... I think so.</p>
<p>There are no A+ grades here.</p>
<p>A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.3
B: 3.0
B-: 2.7
C+: 2.3
C: 2.0
and etc.</p>
<p>So, if your first semester you take four 4 credit courses and earn one A, two A-'s, and one B+, your GPA will be:</p>
<p>[4 (4) + 8 (3.7) + 4 (3.3)]/16 = 3.675</p>
<p>Then, if your next semester you take four 4 credits courses and 1 two credit course and earn a two A's, one A+, one B-, and an A in your two credit course, your GPA for the semester will be:</p>
<p>[10 (4) + 4 (3.7) + 4 (3.3)]/18 = 3.778</p>
<p>Your GPA overall will be:</p>
<p>[14 (4) + 12 (3.7) + 8 (3.3)]/34 = 3.729</p>
<p>Did that make sense?</p>
<p>Yes, thanks :)</p>
<p>bumppppppppppppppppp</p>
<p>OH GG NO A+? I LIVED OFF A+. in all seriousness that sucks, since i pulled my GPA using the weight of science/math A+ to counteract the A- of other subjects....</p>
<p>what constitutes "A-"? A 93?</p>
<p>gpa does not matter. All that matters to NYU is your class-rank in relation to the prestige of your high school in conjunction with the difficulty of your classes. </p>
<p>although you will see "average gpa" in college rankings, the figure only becomes significant with a large sample size...high school to high school it doesnt matter, since a 3.9 in one school can be a 3.2 in another.</p>
<p>Just to note, class rank is an important information but it is useless in a large class size. That's why my former high school did not rank. Many teachers felt that it was unfair and inaccurate. For example, one student could have a 3.85 GPA and another student could have a 3.83 GPA, and both of might have taken same amount of rigorous classes. But in a large class (say about 600), the 3.85 student could have a class rank of 25 while the 3.83 student could have a class rank of 75....</p>
<p>But I agree that nyu and all colleges look at each applicant from each high school separately and does not compare them with other high schools.</p>
<p>Seoul, it depends 100% on the school...</p>
<p>for example, my school doesn't even use A-.. so it just goes A, then B+</p>
<p>so if i got a 91% in one of my classes that would be a B+</p>
<p>to answer your question though, i'd say most of the time an A- is a 90-92, then an A would be a 93 or higher</p>
<p>Im so confused, and I want answers.
I got two A-'s this year but my school counts all A’s as 4, all B’s as 3, and so on. I though -/+ was always irrelevent. </p>
<p>Doesn anybody have any Trustworthy sources that shows that NYU counts an A- as a 3.7?</p>
