<p>i just got back my gpa. i have a weighted gpa 3.03 with only one honors class and unweighted gpa of but 3. im going to be a junior need to get all A's, also i need to get all A's 1st semester of senior year. what is the highest possible gpa i can get. im also taking classes to do good on my act and sat because im bad at test taking. I already have done a lot EC and community service. my dream school is the University of Miami and i when the application process comes Miami will be my early decision school. Is it possible get into the University of Miami. I also come from one of the best private schools in Massachusetts. </p>
<p>I agree with T26E4’s math. In order for that to happen though, you have to take the same amount of courses junior and senior years than you did freshman and sophomore years. If you end up taking more classes, your GPA will actually end up being higher than that!</p>
<p>if you can’t calculate your own gpa i’m not sure how you’re going to manage to get straight a’s for the rest of your high school career. a letter grade higher than your current average.</p>
I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Usually the cumulative GPA is an average of each Semester. As such, a semester with six credits should hold the same weight as one with eight.</p>
<p>The kind of private school you’re talking about has GC’s who can answer all of your college-related questions. Your GC will have statistics on the GPA and standardized test scores of every student from your school who has applied to every university you’re considering and whether or not they were accepted. He or she will have a good sense of what you need to achieve to get where you want to go, and where students from your school with profiles like yours tend to go to college. Rather than stressing by imagining that you’re doomed unless you get a 4.0 from now on, go talk with your GC. If your school is grade-deflated and college admissions officers are familiar with the difficulty of the classes and the grading policies, you might be in somewhat better shape than you think. Not to mention, colleges like an upward trajectory.</p>
<p>What are you bumping about? Are you asking for a re-calculation? I gave you an answer. You got a better one?</p>
<p>Asking again and again won’t give you a better one… you’re proving that your thread title is true.</p>

<p>Cumulative GPA represents the avg of all courses taken – if one happens to take more classes one semester over another it’s irrelevant because the aggregate As, Bs, Cs, etc are averaged. You’re mistaken. That’s why in post no. 2, I posited that the OP would be taking the same number of courses for his Jr year and first semester Sr. year. If he can add more classes and gets more As, of course his potential is greater than 3.43.</p>
<p>Your previous honors class made your weighted GPA 3.03 vs the UW 3.0. That’s a bump of .03. Having one more honors class will do something similar, but since you’ll have nearly double the number of classes it will be about 1/2 of that. So a 3.44/3.45. And T26E4 is right. You need to work on your math skills.</p>
