How to Maintain a 3.5?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a second semester senior and I have a 3.5 weighted (meh not that great i know) but I'm just wondering how many A's and B's I'll have to make to keep it at a 3.5 or higher by graduation, as I need a 3.5 or higher for my diploma choice.</p>

<p>i need 23 credit hours to graduate. and im taking 7 classes/credits left.
i tried googling it and i atrociously failed, as my math skills could not be up to par. sad, i know.</p>

<p>i would really appreciate a bit of help.</p>

<p>oh and sry if i accidently put this in the wrong section, as it took me a while to figure out how to even post.</p>

<p>How does your high school weight classes?</p>

<p>Are -/+ counted towards GPA or not?</p>

<p>If your school gives 5 for a weighted A, 4 for a weighted B, etc., as some schools do, then half Bs and half Cs in weighted classes is a 3.5.</p>

<p>A=4 B=3 C=2 </p>

<p>and im taking 2 AP classes this semester</p>

<p>but a 3.5 this semester would make my gpa go down, wouldnt it? id need something higher right? im not sure how to calculate it.</p>

<p>Just aim for as many A’s as possible, and don’t let more than half of your classes get down to B’s. It’s always easier to to aim for something above your goal so that if you get sidetracked or bogged down it doesn’t throw you for a loop. Congrats on your last semester, I’m Class of '11, too! YAY!</p>
