<p>Can anyone tell me how to calculate the UM GPA. I have around a 3.85 UW GPA and a 4.9 W GPA.</p>

2

<p>Use your sophomore grades and junior grades only and calculate GPA using</p>

<p>4= A, A-, A+
3= B,B-,B+
2= C, C-,C+</p>

<p>Also take out any non-academic classes like PE, health, band, choir, shop class, etc.</p>

<p>thanks-----</p>

<p>do you know what the average UM GPA is for UMichigan?</p>

5

<p>no i dont but i know mine is 3.93</p>

6

<p>If you mean average LSA gpa, which you probably do, it’s somewhere between a 3.1 and 3.2.</p>

7

<p>For the record, the UM in “UM GPA” stands for University of Michigan.</p>

8

<p>^That gpa is for students currently attending the University of Michigan, isn’t it?</p>

<p>The gpa for accepted applicants coming out of high school is usually much higher.</p>

9

<p>Yes, sorry. That 3.1-3.2 is the about the average gpa of students currently attending Michigan. Not of high school applicants.</p>

<p>I believe it’s 3.3.?</p>

12

<p>No way in hell is the average UM GPA 3.3. That would mean the average grade given ou is B+ which just isn’t what happens. Its definitely in the 3.1/3.2 range.</p>

13

<p>when they take out non-academic classes to recalculate your gpa, does that include any foreign languages?</p>

14

<p>I don’t think so, foreign languages are generally considered academic and rigorous.</p>

15

<p>Foreign language, math, sciences, social sciences, computer science, and English are the things they don’t take out.</p>

16

<p>Foreign languages are counted.</p>

17

<p>How about final/semester grades? Like if you get a B+ first semester and an A- final grade. Is that a 3.5 or a 4?</p>

18

<p>idk, my school doesn’t do final grades, we just get grades per semester as our final grade. And a B+ is a 3.0, not a 3.5.</p>

19

<p>UM only counts full year, core curriculum courses, so unless you’re on block schedule, you’ll only use your final grade.</p>

20

<p>I skipped tenth grade, so how will they recalculate my gpa? Will they use my freshman grades as my sophmore grades?</p>
