Very quick Gpa question

<p>Ok so im starting my junior year and we have 7 classes all year long
My gpa is a 3.3 (unweighted)
is it possible to raise it to a 3.5 - 3.6 round tht range
assuming i get nothing but A's And B+'s in all 7 classes all year long</p>

<p>Yes, its possible. Keep it up senior year as well.</p>

<p>Yes, though I don’t think you can get any B’s.</p>

<p>Thank you both ! … i know senior year counts but would senior year count towards the gpa i put on the college application ? … since i want to apply EA to my dream school … i’ll be applying before 1st semester is done.</p>

<p>I’m not sure about your school, but in my school, GPA/Class rank is set in stone for graduation at the end of 1st semester, and that’s usually the GPA colleges will see.</p>

<p>However, when you graduate, your report card shows the updated GPA, including second semesters grades, but by that time you’ll be in college.</p>

<p>Hope this helps!</p>

<p>I’m really surprised that an A-/B+ student is asking this question. I would put it on a middle-school math test.</p>

<p>The answer, which you can get with just the smallest amount of middle-school algebra, is that if you’re taking the same number of classes junior year as you took freshman and sophomore years, and your cumulative GPA after the first two years is 3.3, you’ll need a 3.9 this year to have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 at the end of eleventh grade.</p>

<p>Buuuummmmmppppp</p>

<p>Bump? Really? Because whether it is or is not mathematically possible for you to raise your GPA to 3.5 this year is a matter of…opinion?</p>

<p>what would my gpa be if i have a 3.54 unweighted at the end of sophmore year assuming i get all straight A’s junior year. thanks, i am just too confused on calculating it.</p>

<p>I’m sure u can raise it to a 3.5, but you should try for straight A’s regardless of what your GPA ends up being. Good Luck!</p>

<p>@sikorsky … yes bump really its called me wanting to get more opinons for this maybe fact, just to make sure it really is possible or to see if someone disagreed … i had no idea if it was possible so i asked here figuring someone would know … and i did not appreciate u degrading me down to a middle schooler by putting it in terms of a “middle-school math test” But i shut my mouth … And by all means if u dont like the fact that i bumped than get the hell out of this thread … no one is asking u to be here
@alcard Thank u so much ^__^</p>

<p>Dream, because I don’t know anything about your school and how it works, I need to make a couple of assumptions:</p>

<ol>
<li> I have to assume that you’ll take the same number of classes each year in 9th, 10th and 11th grades, and </li>
<li> I have to assume that you are talking about your unweighted GPA, because schools all weight differently, and I have no idea how your school does it.</li>
</ol>

<p>If your GPA at the end of sophomore year is 3.54, then we can just pretend that you actually got 3.54 in each class over two years. It doesn’t matter that some of your actual grades were above 3.54 and some were below. Furthermore, if you’re taking the same number of courses each year, we don’t have to worry about how many courses you actually took; we can just average your year-end GPAs.</p>

<p>So, you do (3.54 [frosh] + 3.54 [soph] + 4.0 [junior goal])/3 = 11.08/3, which is approx. 3.69.</p>

<p>In Twiggy’s case, she wanted to know whether she could raise her GPA to 3.5 by the end of her junior year, so I did (3.3 + 3.3 + x)/3 = 3.5. Multiply both sides by 3: 6.6 + x = 10.5. Subtract 6.6 on both sides: x = 3.9. Thus Twiggy needs a 3.9 junior year in order to have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 by year’s end.</p>
