After my freshman year in college, my GPA is 2.758. I want to know how and if I can raise my GPA to a 4.0 because I’m trying to go to medical school and my GPA is so ass right now.
A 4.0 is obtained by receiving all A’s (or A+'s depending on how your college grades). Without knowing your college grading scale, and the number of credit hours you will take, it is impossible to know what you could potentially obtain. But, with that being said, an overall 4.0 is out of the picture.
Mathematically impossible.
I attend the university of pittsburgh
if a 4.0 is not possible, whats my highest gpa that I can receive?
Still, impossible to know without know the grading scale at the school and the number of credit hours you will obtain. At some schools an “A” is an “A” regardless of whether it is a 98 or a 90 and results in a 4.0. At others, an A- is worth less than an A. Your school account should have someway to calculate GPA progression.
3.6895, if (and this is a huuuuuuge if), you take the same number of credits in each of the 3 succeeding years and you get an A in each course.
Don’t want to be a downer OP, but if med school was the plan, and your GPA freshman year is 2.75, it might be time to come up with plan B.
Also not to be rude but if you are aiming for med school you should be capable of creating an excel spreadsheet (or something similar) and figure out what your GPA would be if you got all A’s in your remaining classes.
^ Exactly! @kyleis - your math homework: calculate this yourself and post it back to this thread.
The next part of the problem is to do the same problem for your BCPM courses and grades.
Also, be sure to use the AAMC grade point values when calculating GPA for pre-med purposes.
You need to change what you are doing. See this for ideas:
