<p>My final grades is three A's and three B's. But, it said my GPA was a 3.47. I don't understand, isn't it a 3.5? I also found out one of my teachers didn't put in my finals grade yet. Should I wait it out to see if my grades will update or is my final a 3.47? The school told me they might not all be updated but that was before they posted final grades so I'm not sure.. Trying to get on the dean's list here.</p>
<p>That would only be a 3.5 if all your classes were the same number of credits. Are they?</p>
<p>No, all of them are 3 credits except one. I have 17 credits</p>
<p>4.0 x 2 As x 3 credit hours = 24 quality points
3.0 x 3 Bs x 3 credit hours = 27 quality points
4.0 x 1 A x 2 credit hours = 8 quality points</p>
<p>24+27+8= 59 quality points
59 quality points/17 credit hours = 3.47</p>
<p>So that’s how it’s calculated. 
Also I’ve never been on the dean’s list to my knowledge even when I’ve had a 4.0, so I don’t really understand how it works…</p>
<p>i’m sure dean’s list depends based on where you go to school. here at UC Davis you get on the dean’s list if your GPA is in the top 16% of your class in your college. i was on it last quarter with a 3.9 and should be on it this quarter with a 4.0</p>
<p>If they haven’t put in your final grades… then you wouldn’t have a final GPA.</p>
<p>And if you’re taking seventeen hours, then your GPA will not fall exactly on a 3.5. One of your classes has more weight or less weight than all of your others.</p>
<p>Dean’s List here at USC:
4.0 for President’s List for the previous semester
3.5 (3.25 for freshmen) for Dean’s List for the previous semester</p>
<p>So it definitely varies from university to university. I’m assuming Dean’s List at your school is a 3.5.</p>
<p>At UChicago, the Dean’s list is a 3.25 or better.</p>
