<p>My college GPA. If i took about 18 credits. How many points do you think it would go up if I did my absolute best and got straight A's?</p>

<p>This is a math question missing practical numbers, but here goes…</p>

<p>If you have 18 credits with a 2.0 and do 18 more credits with a 4.0, you’d then have a 3.0 average.</p>

<p>However, if you have 18 credits at a 2.0 and add another 18 credits of 3.0 work, your overall average would only bump up to a 2.5.</p>

<p>Finally, one more example–18 credits at a 2.0 and then doing a ton more classes say 36 credits at a 4.0 your end average of all 54 credits would be a 3.33 gpa.</p>

<p>So it depends – give us your starting gpa and number of units–and your target gpa and then we can tell you what you need to do to get it.</p>

<p>or, you can plug it in yourself:</p>

<p>((starting GPA * number of credits taken) + (18*4))/(18 + number of credits taken)</p>

<p>ok sorry here are some numbers.</p>

<p>1st semester of freshman year I took 14 credits and had a 3.1 GPA. 2nd semester I took 17 credits and had a 2.667 for the year overall. </p>

<p>So if I take 18 credits next semester and get all A’s… what will my overall GPA be? </p>

<p>I tried plugging it into that formula and got a 3.15? Does that sound right?</p>
