Question on GPA for a class

<p>Since B+ is 3.3 and A- is 3.7 do you get an A- with anything greater or equal to 3.5?</p>

<p>I calculated my gpa for a class based in the syllabus and because they gave the grade on each individual section and it turns out to be 3.6 but I got a B+. Should I email the professor?</p>

<p>Also wondering if your UC GPA is calculated on your exact GPA or the rounded GPA from the lettered grade?</p>

<p>I… am kind of confused. What do you mean by anything greater or equal to 3.5? A B+ is a 3.3; an A- is a 3.7… you get the grade points from the grades, not the other way round. I don’t really understand this: “because they gave the grade on each individual section and it turns out to be 3.6 but I got a B+”</p>

<p>As for your third question, again I don’t understand what you mean. It’s exact - they take the points corresponding to each grade, multiply by the units, and divide… you only get a few options: 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, etc. You will never have a 3.5 multiplied by your units in calculating your GPA, because that doesn’t exist.</p>

<p>I think the OP might be asking if it’s possible to get an A- with a 3.6 in the class???</p>

<p>Wait, so am I getting this right? OP has a couple of letter grades for components of the final grade, and used the GPA formula to calculate final grade GPA, which should correspond to course grade.</p>

<p>It’s possible to end up with a B+ even though a 3.6 was calculated. You don’t know the raw score… there could’ve been a couple of really low grades and even the As might have been borderline As. Or the prof might have curved the class down in the end. I don’t know. How they distribute grades is a huge mystery.</p>

<p>usually final grades are set in stone… like rock solid stone xD But you can check if there’s been a mistake. But just warning ya it might be futile.</p>

<p>Ok I didn’t know it was that mysterious and unmovable. I will probably also sound like a ****** but I didn’t do so good on my other classes and I calculated and I think I also deserve an A- at least but oh well.</p>
