Frequently Asked Questions

How is GPA calculated?+

GPA = total quality points ÷ total credits. Quality points = credits × grade points for each course. A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0. Plus/minus adjustments: A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, and so on.

What is the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?+

Unweighted GPA measures all courses on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA assigns higher values (typically a 5.0 scale) to honors, AP, or IB courses, recognizing course difficulty. Colleges may use either or both in admissions.

What is a good GPA?+

An unweighted 3.0-3.4 is considered good, while 3.5+ is very competitive. Weighted GPA varies by school profile. Top universities typically expect weighted GPAs above 4.0 (due to honors courses).

How can I improve my GPA?+

Focus on high-scoring courses to raise your cumulative GPA. Retake low-grade courses (if allowed). Balance challenging courses with ones you can do well in. Discuss strategies with your advisor.
