Grades and Grade Point Averages (GPA)

lol No way! I went there its 2.5 and above...Definently not 3.5

If 4.0 = 100

then 3.4 = 85

That is 85%.

A 4.14 is a super good gpa. With a 4.14 you should be able to get grants and scolarships. Also you should be able to get into any college you want. As long as your SAT scores are great.

That really depends on many factors, the most important of which is your color, i.e., your race, next is your sex. Blacks are accepted with scores 200 points below whites. Income makes some difference but not as much as color. A young, middle class black man with professionals for parents will be accepted long before a young and poor, white man. No one wants to talk about it, but it is true. I worked last year with a work-study intern who was accepted to Wisconsin with an SAT more than 300 points below the next door neighbors kid who scored 620 in English and 652 in math. Guess who got a partial scholarship. Oh, by the way, both lived in nice neighborhoods and went to good schools. They are both nice, decent people but the decision should be based on income more than race these days. The questioner is a little naive to ask it in that way.

If you want to know, ask her! You can sign the Petition to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to Voluntarily Release Her College Grade Point Average on the Care2 petitionsite. The petition summary and letter offer good reasons why voters should be able to consider this information. And besides, didn't your employer inquire about your education and experience when interviewing you? Were you allowed to refuse information about your performance in college? Why should we be entitled to any less information when considering who to hire as our Vice-President?

Her record does count, of course, but she doesn't have much of one to show for herself. Neither does Obama, but a degree from Harvard Law School with honors (at least a 3.5 GPA) says something in itself. Palin attended 5 colleges, none of which had admissions requirements, to pull together a bachelor's in journalism and communictions. We should not only know her GPA, but she should be able to explain how this education is relevant to the office of the Presidency.

Due to privacy in education laws, the only way we can determine Palin's GPA is if she freely tells us. Tell her you want to know! "Federal privacy laws prohibit the schools from disclosing her grades, and none of the schools contacted by The Associated Press could say why she transferred." Palin switched colleges 6 times in 6 years By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS, Associated Press Writer Thursday, September 4, 2008 (09-04) 17:03 PDT Spokane, Wash. (AP) -- Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin seems to have switched colleges at least six times in six years, including two stints at the University of Idaho before graduating from there in 1987. "Our office was not contacted by anyone," said Tania Thompson, spokeswoman for the University of Idaho in Moscow. Palin, the governor of Alaska, was born in Idaho. Her family moved when she was only a few months old to Alaska, where she was raised. According to a biography - "Sarah" by Kaylene Johnson - Palin and three friends went to the University of Hawaii at Hilo after graduation from high school in Alaska in 1982. But they left after a few weeks because of the constant rain there, the book said. The registrar at Hawaii-Hilo has no record that she ever enrolled, school officials said Thursday. Palin, then known as Sarah Louise Heath, and a friend then traveled to Honolulu and enrolled at Hawaii Pacific University, a private, nonsectarian school. She attended only as a freshman during the fall of 1982, school spokeswoman Crystale Lopez said. She was in the business administration program as a full-time student, Lopez said Thursday. "We're trying to track down someone who knew her," Lopez added. From Hawaii Pacific, Palin transferred to North Idaho College, a two-year school in Coeur d'Alene, about 30 miles east of Spokane. She attended the college as a general studies major for two semesters, in spring 1983 and fall 1983, spokeswoman Stacy Hudson said. "We were not able to track down club affiliations or anything," Hudson said. The school identified one of her professors but he did not remember her, Hudson said. Prior to her selection by McCain, the North Idaho College Alumni Association notified Palin in June she would be the recipient of its 2008-2009 Distinguished Alumni of the Year Award. From North Idaho College, Palin transferred 70 miles south to the University of Idaho, the state's flagship institution. She majored in journalism with an emphasis in broadcast news. She attended Idaho, whose mascot is the Vandals, from fall 1984 to spring 1985. She then returned to Alaska to attend Matanuska-Susitna College in Palmer in fall 1985. Then she returned to Idaho, for spring 1986, fall 1986 and spring 1987, when she graduated. Despite her journalism degree, she does not appear to have worked for the college newspaper or campus television station, school officials said. She worked briefly as a sportscaster for KTUU in Anchorage after she graduated college. The McCain campaign did not have an immediate comment on Palin's higher education record. Palin's biography on her Alaska governor's website indicates only that she graduated from Idaho in 1987.

For different schools, there will be different systems to calculate GPA (Grade Points Average). The weighted GPA [most colleges & universities require this one] is base on the scale of 4.0 which is: A - 4.0 ; B - 3.0 ; C - 2.0 ; D - 1.0; F - 0, the schools calculate this by taking average of the total grades you earn. The unweighted GPA [most schools use this for ranking the students in a class, by making a difference between AP, Advanced courses than regular courses]: For Advanced classes: A - 5.0, B -4.0, C -3.0, D -2.0, F - 0.0 For Regular classes: A - 4.0 ; B - 3.0 ; C - 2.0 ; D - 1.0; F - 0.0. And the same thing, they take average of all what you earn. Hope that helps!

On a 4.0 scale with 4.0 being the highest, a GPA of 3.179 would be a letter grade of B.

Depends on your current grades.

A=4

B=3

C=2

D=1

F=0

Add your grades up & divide by the number of classes.

You probably need to boost up a letter grade in at least 1 class.

Most students who get into Yale have a GPA of 4.0 unweighted. Many students are rejected with a 4.0 and excellent test scores because they are not able to bring anything unique to the school in terms of interests, extracurricular activities, intellectual curiosity, etc. Because they accept only a small percentage of their applicants, they can afford to be exceptionally selective.

These people are very special , its presitigious to be in police. You need to pass lots of exams and qualify for it. After the training period you are given grades that determine ranks.

Edit: The passing grade for the Police Exam is 70%. However, to be considered, you need a higher grade than that, such as a grade in the high 90's.

Average GPA Score as listed in Hotcoursesusa for Western Oregon University is:

GPA score: 2.75

Average SAT math score: 470

Average SAT writing score: 470

Average ACT score: 21

Decent grades are usually considered anything between 3.0-4.0. A 3.5 specifically is rather good and translates to about a B+ average which is more than acceptable in most places when supplemented with extra-curricular activities, work experience and/or recommendations.

A 2.0 would be a letter grade of C (satisfactory).

Most Auburn University students are in, at least, the top half of their class and 73% had GPAs of 3.5 or higher. The average Auburn University SAT score is 1625-1950. Of course, personal background, quality of writing, and individual talents and attributes also play into a university's admissions decisions. Keep in mind that universities are ultimately a business. It's all about what you can offer them.

According to most colleges, 2.0 is a passing grade (C). However, you should check to see what your specific college's grading specifications are.

So a 2.2 is just over a C, but not even close to a C+.

Like the previous answerer said, hit the books while you still can.

to get a 3.0 GPA you need too have all As, Bs and a high C

Colleges look at both. Keep in mind, however, that an A is an A and a B is a B: just because you received an extra bonus for your B in Honors US History does not mean that you actually got an A in the class.

Selective colleges--and increasingly numbers of them--strip away the weights, because not every school or every district weights things in the same way. And what's important is how well you stack up against your peers.

So why do schools do the weighting? To determine "class rank," or how you stack up. One student may take very easy classes that are not really college preparatory in nature and get a 4.0, while the student down the hall is taking 5 Advanced Placement courses and getting a 3.8. Which is the better student?

Ranking gives the student taking the harder courses a bonus when calculating class rank--which college definitely want to look at as they consider you for admission.

But don't be fooled. You may have a 4.0 with all grades of B in your honors classes, and you will never look as good as the student who has grades of A in all of their honors classes.

So the answer to your question is BOTH. And what should you do in response? Get the best grades you can.

Hi!

Calculating your GPA isnt a very easy question. Some people add .3 for pluses, and subtract .3 for minuses! However, if you are asking the overall, EXACT, ORIGINAL way then this is how you would calculate!

Tina has 6 classes. She got:

Math=B

Physical Education= A

History=B

Chemistry=A

Literature=A

Tech.= B

When adding your GPA:

A=4

B=3

C=2

D=1

F=0

So we add up Tina's points for her grades, and her point value adds up to 21. If you do not understand from this point on, read over this again, and try to calculate.

So because she has 6 classes, she must divide her number of points, by her number of classes! She has 21 points, and six classes. 21 divided by 6 is 3.5! So Tina has a 3.5!

It depends on the institutions grading system. It could be either a C+ or B- letter grade.

Yes, a 4.0 is a perfect, or straight A, grade average. Some schools have the possibility of getting above a 4.0, either by getting A+'s, or my taking AP, Honors, Advanced, or more difficult courses. But typically, a 4.0 is the highest grade average.

You should have a "c" at least. A "D" will pass you, but you may have problems in 8th because you didn't pick up the skills you need to do the work. I suggest this next year you really apply yourself. My bet is that you played around this year and are now worried about passing or you wouldn't be asking this questions. Do this in high school and you will be repeating classes to graduate. Each class is a number of units and you need a total number to graduate in 4 years. I know 5th year seniors who didn't complete classes.

Typically a letter grade of B.
