<p>what is "michigan" gpa....how do you calculate it?</p>
<p>It is just your Sophomore and Junior year grades from core academic classes(ie. gym and keyboarding dont count). A+,A,A- =4 , B+,B,B- =3 , C+,C,C- =2, etc. No extra points are given for AP or honors classes. If you got a lot of A-'s or B-'s this system actually helps you.....but hurts you if you got mostly B+'s as it brings your grade down. It really does not seem fair that when you earn a B+ you get credit for a B but thats UM and thats how they do it.</p>
<p>My school does not provide letter grades. On the 100 point scale, is a 90 or 95 an A for the Michigan GPA?</p>
<p>I would also like to know the answer to this question. I attended Kettering University for a year and they also provide number grades(called a WAG)....with 100 being the best and a 65 being a failing grade. I am not sure what constitutes an A,B,C, etc. in this situation.</p>
<p>My guess is that all the As start from 90, Bs from 80......
So a 90+ would be a 4.0, an 80-89 a 3.0, etc.....</p>
<p>Of course these are all unweighted grades.</p>
<p>Maybe someone with knowledge of the Michigan GPA system can confirm the policy</p>
<p>Foreign language courses are included right?<br>
and is the Mich GPA rounded to the nearest tenth? ex. 3.88 -> 3.9?</p>
<p>Michigan GPA -</p>
<p>Take out all +/-
Take out all non-academics
Take out all grade boosts
Take out all freshman year grades</p>
<p>For you, any grade above 90 is a 4, any grade 80-90 is a 3, 70-80 is a 2, and I hope you didn't get anything lower. Don't think they round it, unless you are very close. EX. a 3.98 would be rounded to a 4.0, but a 3.76 wouldn't be rounded to 3.8.</p>
<p>you sure, I had a 3.55, and at orientation on the placement test score results paper it said H.S GPA: 3.6 Class Rank: 94%</p>
<p>yea the way I understood it at the campus information session was that there is no such thing as a 3.65 or a 3.85......you always round. Thats what I thought I heard...maybe I was dreaming...lol</p>
<p>lol umar, a while ago, you made it seem like you barely made it to Michigan, as if you got lucky or something. But actually your grades/rank are very solid.</p>
<p>I am lucky....lol or maybe I just have low self esteem when it comes to school lol. It's probably cause my H.S was really competitive. I wasn't really ranked that high and there were PLENTY of "smarter" kids in my class. And then I come to Michigan where it seems like almost everyone has a 1400+, 30+, 3.9 uw+ gpa and I'm the lonely guy who got in with a 28, 1180, 3.6 lol...</p>
