Grades and Grade Point Averages (GPA)
Grades are assigned through application of standardized measurements rated by in letters (A to D), a range (example 1 to 6), a percentage of total number correct (example 70%), or as the number from of a possible total (example 50 out of 50). At predetermined set times through a school year, grades from subjects are averaged to give a Grade Point Average (GPA). The Cumulative Grade Point Average is the average of all grades over an educational life or specific for the total 4 years of high school.

Can you get an A- and still get a 4.0 GPA?
Well, honey, if you're aiming for that perfect 4.0 GPA, an A- just ain't gonna cut it. You need straight-up A's to keep that GPA flawless. So, buckle up and aim higher if you want to be top of the class.
How can someone calculate their GPA?
A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 Fail = 0
Assign a number to each class/grade by multiplying the credit hours of the class by the number associated with the grade. In other words, if you received an "A" in a math class that is considered to be 4 credit hours, you'd multiply 4 credit hours times 4 for the "A", giving you 16 grade points for the class. Keep one column that will be the total of the credit hours and another column that is the total of the grade points. After you've calculated the grade points and credit hours for each class, add both columns and divide the total of the grade points by the total of the credit hours.
For example, if you have 100 grade points and 30 credit hours, your grade point average will be 3.33. If you did it right, the total cannot be above 4, and only then if you've received straight "A" grades.
Grade Point Average (GPA) CalculationDivide the total number of grade points passed/earned by the total number of class hours to determine the GPA.For example, using a 4-point grading scale,
- A = 4 points
- B = 3 points
- C = 2 points
- D = 1 point
- F = 0 points
and a 15 semester hour system:
An "A" in a 3-hour Math class would be worth 12 grade points.
A "B" in a 3-hour English class would yield 9 grade points.
Another "A" in a 4-hour Biology class would earn 16 grade points.
An "F" in a 2-hour Sociology class is not worth any (0) grade points.
Latin's 3-hour C provides 6 grade points.
The total number of grade points (43) divided by the total number of class hours (15) is the grade point average: 2.866666.... or 2.87 which is a high "C", "C+" or "B-" according to who interprets it.

Is 2.57 a good grade point average?
yes. it depends on how many classes you took if the average is out of 2 classes that should be fine, but it shouldn't be out of 4 classes.
It also depends on what type of classes you are taking. Normal classes, Honors, or AP Classes.
The answer depends on the grading scale. Usually grading scales are 100-90 = A, 89-80 = B, 79-70 = C, 69-60 = D and 59 or below = F. Pluses and minuses are given to the letter grade if the score is in the higher or lower range of the spectrum (e.g. 77 and up is a +, 73 and below is a -). If the grading scale follows the typical ranges, then a 60 out of 100 would be a C-
Is 3.85 a good GPA for middle school?
On a four-point scale, 3.85 is good, but if your grade point is less than perfect, it means that someone has figured out what you can't do. If you had a 4.00, you would have a perfect grade point, and nobody would have found (and reported on) your limit. So try for 4.00 in high school. But here's the rub: it's not fair if you take all easy classes to get the 4.00. Take the hardest classes you can, and do the most outstanding job you can manage. THAT'S better than good. Make a great reputation for yourself, not just good.
Can you get into rutgers with a 4.6 GPA?
There is no certain GPA requirement, and if there was, it would not be advertised to the general public. It is a combination of GPA, class standing, SAT scores and high school extracurricula activities. As a general thought, you should consider that 3.5 or higher would be necessary to get into this prestigeous competitive school.
----------
I went to a high school in jersey city, new jersey where 50% or more of our class comes to rutgers new brunswick. Almost no one gets rejected, and the average gpa coming out of the school is probably around 3.6 or higher so 90 or above on the 100 point scale. Other people with a lot of extracurricular activities and such- sports, clubs, good SATs also help a lot. I think if you get above 1200 in math and verbal you should be fine as well.
What letter grade is 64 out of 100?
While many schools or classes use different grading scales, the standard American grading scale works on a 10 point system, meaning a 66 is a D. However, using another very typical grading scale, a 66 would be an F. Your answer depends on which grading scale your class/school uses.
The first grading scale, where an 80 is a B is as follows:
A: 90-100
B: 80-89
C: 70-79
D: 60-69
F: 0-59
The second grading scale, where an 80 is a C is as follows:
A: 94-100
B: 87-93
C: 80-86
D: 75-79
F: 0-74
Depends on where you are at in your education. If in high school, it is good. Most good colleges want/expect a 2.5-3.0 GPA in HS for admission. If you are an undergrad in college, it is still pretty good. Most grad schools want a 3.0 or better to go on for a graduate degree. If you are in a Master's program, a 3.3 is fair to middling. Again, depending on the school and program, a lot of Ph.D programs will accept no less than a 3.0-3.5 GPA to get in after a Master's is completed. Again, it all depends on the school and program. For example, if in high school, a 3.3 with some good extra cirricular activities would put you in an excellent position. If going on from a Masters to a Ph.D, a 3.3 would be borderline. You would have to have done pretty well on your Graduate Record Examination(s) to boost your shot at a doctorate (for example, I scored low-average to average on my GRE's, but had a 3.5 GPA for undergrad work, so I got accepted into a Master's and later a Ph.D program.) Hope this helps.

Can you get into a good college with a 3.2 GPA?
Yes, particularly if you have a nice selection of other activities. Freshman grades are the least important. Good activity record is also good. And the more Advanced Placement course you take the better off you'll be, also.
What is the grade equivalence for a 3.29 GPA?
It depends on if the GPA is based on a 5 point scale or a 4 point scale. On a 5 point scale, an A is worth 5 points. On a 4 point scale scale, an A is worth 4 points. So a 3.29 is a B on the 4 point scale and a C on a 5 point scale.
What letter grade is 140 out of 180?
Whatever the teacher says it is. It's just slightly under 78%, so it would probably be considered a C+, or a B- if the teacher's feeling generous.
What is the minimum GPA for deans list at Howard university?
I don't know the average GPA to get into Howard University. But you definitely need to get decent grades. A good GPA and a decent SAT score are a must. After you accomplish this, start thinking about ways you can separate yourself from the competition. Extracurricular activates are very important. Lastly, make sure you want to go to Howard University. I know a lot of students that thought they wanted to go to their dream school, but when they got in and went to that school, they were really disappointed. You can get information about the academic requirements here: http://www.unigo.com/howard_university/rankings
and reviews of Howard University by actual students here: http://www.unigo.com/howard_university/reviews
