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 is a good GPA for Master degree to consider further studies?
I think a good GPA is anything over 3.0. A 3.5 or higher is great, and 4.0 (or close to 4.0) is excellent. A good GPA is anything better than average. A GPA that is greater than > 2.5 is usually a good GPA. Most people have a higher major GPA in the classes they take.
GPA
1.0 - 1.9 Below Average1.9 - 2.7 Average 2.8 - 3.5 Better than average3.6 - 4.0 Excellent
GPA is graded as such 95+=4.0, 90=3.5, 85=3.0, 75=2.0, 60=1.0 and 59 and below is a 0. Depending on your college/university, they calculate it differently. Some colleges only have even letter grades such as A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0 and F=0.0, but other colleges give + and - grades, so A-=3.7, B+=3.3, B-=2.7, C+=2.3, C-=1.7, D+=1.3 and D-=0.7.
Your total GPA is calculated by multiplying each course grade by the number of hours the coarse is worth, adding them together and then divided by the total number of coarse hours you have taken. As an example:
Course: Hours: Number Grade: GPA: Grade Points:
Math 4 85 3.0 4x3.0=12.0
Science 3 80 2.7 3x2.7= 8.1
Writing 4 70 1.7 4x1.7= 6.8
Total Grade Points Total credit Hours
26.9 / 11.0 = 2.45 a high C+, just about a 79.
So, a 2.2 is a low C+, between a 76 and 77.
It depends on the schools grading system. Typically, it is a letter grade of B.

University of Texas' average High School GPA?
3.95
Actually, the answer is here, straight from the UT admissions page. It is not 3.95:
"Although no particular GPA guarantees admission, a 3.0 is generally considered the minimum necessary for strong consideration. Many students with GPAs above 3.0, however, are not admitted because of the competitiveness of the process. You'll find information about the factors we consider on the What We Consider page." Look up admission factors on UT's webpage and you will find the other things that would set you apart.

What is the average GPA needed to get into Boston College?
I don't know the exact average GPA for Arizona Boston College. But you definitely need to get good grades. A good GPA and good SAT scores 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 Boston College. 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/boston_college/rankings/
and here are some student reviews by actual Boston College students: http://www.unigo.com/boston_college/reviews/
What GPA is needed to get into University of Wisconsin Whitewater?
27.5 on last check. good to get at least a 28 to have a decent shot. At Madison the higher the better. They look at ACT scores more than high school GPA. A lot of kids from my high school applied there and to the University of Minnesota. Kids with average ACTs but high GPA's and lots of extracurriculars got into the U of Minn, but not Madison. Kids with high ACTs but not extracurriculars and poor GPAs got into Madison.
I only had a 27 on my ACT but I had a 4.0 and lots of AP classes and extracurriculars and I got rejected from Madison but I got into Minnesota. My best friend only had a 3.0 GPA and no extracurriculars, but he got a 33 on his ACT and he got rejected from Minnesota but accepted into Madison.
Get the highest ACT possible to get into Madison, that's pretty much all they look at.
What is Ohio state university's GPA requirement?
That depends on what program you want to get into and if you are coming right out of high school or transferring from another college or university.
Domestic high school students need to have a high school diploma or GED, good SAT and/or ACT scores, a good high school GPA and you need to have taken college prep courses in high school.
Domestic transfer students need to have a good GPA ("good" being a 2.0 or above but preferably a little higher than that), 45 quarter credit hours or 30 semester credit hours of college course work after graduating from high school, and they will also look at your ACT and SAT scores. Earning an Associates degree or its equivalent is also helpful especially if you opted not to take the ACT's and SAT's.

Can you get into chapel hill with 1400 sat and a 4.0 GPA?
That depends on a lot of other factors. Is this weighted or unweighted GPA? If you take challenging classes in high school (honors, AP) and get an unweighted 3.8 you're definitely qualified for UNC in terms of your transcript. Test scores are also very important. Admissions standards also depend on demographics, in state/out of state, and legacy.

What GPA and SAT score is satisfactory for the university of North Carolina of Chapel Hill?
77% of students in the class of 2011 were in the top 10% of their high school classes. The average GPA was around a 4.4 and the SAT average was just over 1300. Though they may cut you a little slack if you come from a really tough high school such as one of the big Charlotte schools, these are good ballpark numbers to shoot for.
I am graduating from UNC this May and I know many people that fit the profile above, but I also many who don't. If you are remotely close to the profile and have time left start getting involved with your school and community. In addition try to work on getting letters of recommendations early - try your principal then work your way down to your teachers. Most schools ask for three try to get four or five, more cant hurt.

What GPA do you need to get into duke University?
I assume you are talking about the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. It is a very competitive school and the stronger your academic record, the better. Most students who are accepted have a strong GPA in challenging courses and have intellectual curiosity that is obvious on their application. Out-of-state applicants will probably find admissions a little more difficult than in state students. The majority of students are from North Carolina.
