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.

What would a 74.19 be on a 4.0 GPA scale?
A 77 GPA grade point average over a 4 scale would be a C. This is about average.
It represents among all of your classes, a straight "B" average. Your grades may have been all "B"s, or one "A", one "C" and the rest "B"s, etc.
What GPA do you need to graduate magna cum laude?
It depends on the specific college or university. However, many institutions start a cum laude honor at a 3.45. Once again, there is no standard and can only be understood by inquiring about the policies particular to the school.
That is a mid range C in a 4 point scale. It is enough to keep you off academic probation.
What is the the minimum GPA for NC State University?
Average SAT math score:Composite score 720 for North Carolina residents; 820 for out-of-state residentsAverage ACT score:Composite score 15 for North Carolina residents; 17 for out-of-state residentsGPA score:2.3 - 2.8
What college can you got to if you have a 1.7 GPA and 17 act?
Your GPA and ACT score will make it difficult to get into a four-year college. Look into community colleges in your area. Community colleges are a great way to "reboot" your educational career. You can work towards earning a two year associate degree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associate%27s_degree). If you work hard, you will not only have learned the material you did not learn well in high school, but you will also be able to apply to a four-year college or university. If you have completed you associate's degree, they won't look at you grade from high school. (You may, however, have to take the ACT or SAT again.)
Additionally, if your city, state, or county funds a community college, the fees to go to class will be far less expensive that a normal college. You can look for a college in your area here: http://profiles.communitycollegesusa.com/Community_Colleges_Category_2_year_Community_Colleges_English.html. This isn't a complete list so don't be discourage if you don't see a school in your area. You can read more here: http://www.collegeboard.com/student/csearch/where-to-start/8169.html. Good luck!!

What does a 2.70 GPA mean in terms of grades?
Original Answer
"A 4.0 is a perfect GPA. A 2.75 would be around a 69 average." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is false. A 69 (assuming a non +/- scale) is a D. A grade of D earns you a GPA of 1.0, so a "69 average" or "D Average" would give you a GPA of 1.0 A grade of B will earn you 3.0 GPA points, so if you averaged a 2.75, that would be slightly below a B average.
If you were to break it down into individual percentages (i.e. your cumulative average grade in all of your classes) it would be between an 82 and 83 average.
What grade point average must you have in order to attend to Cornell University?
You definitely need to get great grades…not just good grades, but great grades. A high GPA and high SAT scores are a must. After you accomplish this, start thinking about ways you can separate yourself from the competition. Extracurricular activites are very important. The exact grade point average to attend to Cornell University can be found on Unigo.com's Cornell webpage: http://www.unigo.com/cornell_university/rankings/
What GPA is needed to be accepted into Boston College?
you will need the GPA of 2.8 to qualify there...Lakresha Echols actually according to a recent table shown by my high school college counselor the GPA needed to get into Boston College is 3.8... :)
Will a 3.1 GPA get you into University of Washington?
Your GPA is only one factor that the UW (or any college) will consider when deciding if you will be accepted. Other factors include SAT/ACT scores, the classes you took, community service hours, work experience (not all college's ask about this), and an essay (again, not all ask for one, but UW does). However, a low GPA will decrease your chances and a high GPA will increase them. When I applied to get in, a 3.1 GPA was slightly lower than average, but still very acceptable. A good place to check on these sort of things is College Board (http://www.collegeboard.com). You can also sign up for the SAT there, because most colleges require you take either the SAT or the ACT. Good Luck
What would your GPA be if you got 3 c's and 1 d?
A C grade is equal to 2 GPA and a D grade is around 1.5 GPA. So you can calculate and find the average.
What colleges accept low sat scores and low GPA?
There are many community colleges that will accept low SAT scores or accept students without an SAT score. Regular colleges will also accept students with low SAT scores if they have some interesting volunteer experience or skill.
Would a 3.67 GPA be a good GPA?
Hi On a 4.0 scale, which it usually is, 3.0 is a B average and obviously 4.0 is an A average, so 3.7 is a bit better than a B+ average and not quite an A- average. So it's pretty good although probably not likely good enough to get you into Harvard. I understand it's possible, though I no idea how, to get more than a 4.0 average on a 4 point scale. Phil If you take AP of Honor classes they raise your GPA as an incentive. So if you took all AP classes and got all A's you could have something like a 4.5.
How do you raise GPA from 1.5 to 3.0?
You study. You keep up with the lessons, go to all the classes, listen well in class, and take notes. You do all your homework and turn it in on time. If you do not understand something well or have questions, you ask the teacher or a classmate to explain it better for you. If allowed, taping the classes to replay later and copying your notes to add anything you left out also helps you to learn the lessons so you can get a high GPA.
To calculate your GPA:
Each letter grade is designated a point.
A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0.
Say you made 3 A's a B and a C one semester. You would be awarded 4+4+4+3+2, which equals 17.
Divide the sum of your GPA points by the number of classes taken
17/5
This will give you your GPA: 3.4
If you are in college and are taking classes based on varied credit hours for each course, you would take your grade for each course times the number of credit hours for the course. Add the totals for all your classes together and divide the total by the number of credit hours you are taking.
How do you raise a 1.2 GPA to a 3.0 GPA?
It depends mostly on how many classes you have taken already. If you've already failed a lot of classes and want to take some more new courses to get your GPA back up to 3.0, it will take at least 5 semesters full of classes; Fall, Spring, Summer and another Fall as well as Spring with at least 4 courses (12 credits) each semester. What I suggest is to retake the courses you have failed and pass them with A's. This will most likely get you to 3.0 in 4 or possibly 3 full semesters.
The best thing to have done though was to not let your GPA get that low in the first place.
Well that's a mid B-C average, which most would say is acceptable.
In Louisiana, you have to maintain a 2.5 GPA in order for the state to pay for 80% of your tuition, or you get on academic probation and eventually the program drops you. So here, you'd be just scraping by.
Is a 2.9 GPA considered a bad GPA?
It depends on the school you are in or want to get into. 2.9 is a high "C" average. If you are applying to college, most have a base of at least a 2.0 for high school work, some want a 3.0. If you are in a college or university, most expect a Cumulative GPA of 2.0-2.5 to just stay in school. Each department or major has different requirements. To get into a graduate school, most want at least a 3.0-3.5 GPA for undergraduate work. So it is all relative, and depends on where you are at in your education.
What is a 3.4 GPA in letter grades?
A B+ is 3.333 and an A- is 3.667, so a 3.4 is a combination of B+ and A-.
What gpa score do you need to get into western kentucky university?
Kent accepts about 80% of its applicants. Out of those applicants:
* 13% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher * 14% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74 * 15% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49 * 19% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24 * 31% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99 * 7% had h.s. GPA between 2.0 and 2.49 * 1% had h.s. GPA between 1.0 and 1.99 Based off that, if you have at least a 2.5 you should have nothing to fear about acceptance. But as you can see, even people below that were still accepted.
If I remember correctly the average ACT was 21. Not sure about the SAT.
What does a GPA of 3.71 equal in a letter grade?
On a 4.0 scale with 4.0 being the highest, a GPA of 3.1 would be a letter grade of B.
