<p>Ok, so if I got an F in a cc class in high school and took it again and got an A, would the grade for the class be averaged and be equivalent to a C when calculated?</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>4.0/2=2.0 or C</p>
<p>Whoa, so you’re saying the grade would be calculated into my GPA as a C?</p>
<p>No. It will not be counted a C. Both grades will be calculated into your GPA with its own individual value. How it actually affects your GPA depends upon the number of credits you have.</p>
<p>If you have only 2 4-credit courses in your GPA, one F and 1 A, your net GPA would be 2.0. </p>
<p>In reality you will have many more grades than just 8 credits/2 classes.</p>
<p>If you want to run scenarios, google “AMCAS + grade calculator”. UCSF has a Excel-based spreadsheet you can download.</p>
<p>It would be the equivalent of <em>two</em> C’s.</p>
<p>Ooooh ok! Thanks so much. It makes sense now.</p>
<p>So then it would be calculated into my GPA as 2 C’s instead of 1.</p>
<p>Which is to say, it would count exactly the same as getting some A in another course instead of a retake.</p>
