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 GPA of 3.27 equivalent to?
On a 4.0 scale, where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, & F = 0.0, this could be considered a B+ or A- average.
To find Grade Point Average, add up all numeric grade values, and divide by number of classes. If in college then you would multiply each grade by the number of semester-hours for that class, then add up and divide by total number of semester hours.
One example for a semester: you took 4 classes (all 4 are 3-hour classes). You got the following grades: A,A,B,C.
So your GPA for that semester = [(4*3)+(4*3)+(3*3)+(2*3)]/12 {for the 12 hours you took that semester}
Semester GPA = [12+12+9+6]/12 = 39/12 = 3.25
Sorry without knowing the grading system applicable this is impossible to answer.

Can you get into UConn if you have a GPA of 3.0?
you can get into UConn with a lot lower than 3.0. maybe you should think about raising your standards cause I'm sure you can get into better colleges than UConn although they do have some awesome parties
<-- That is an awful answer. It is quite obvious that whoever wrote that answer has not looked any statistics. Uconn is one of the most competitive public universities in the country, and has been the top ranked public university in the Northeast for nearly a decade. A 3.0 will make it difficult to obtain acceptance. However, a high SAT can counter that GPA.
AnswerThat's not true at all, Uconn has gotten a lot harder. I know a lot of kids who didn't get in with 3.0 or close to it, and they live 30 minutes away. Answer:I go to UConn and it is very difficult to get into. I had a 3.25 GPA from high school and very high SAT scores, especially with my Math being in the 700s. Only about 2 people from my graduating class got in and many others got rejected. You need a lot of extra curricular activities as well. So, anyone who says UConn is a piece of cake to get into should try again, we are now one of the top Universities in the country and are getting more and more difficult every year.How long will it take to bring a GPA of 1.3 to a 2.0 in high school?
That depends on how many classes went into the 1.3. The more there have been so far,
the more future classes it will take to change it, and the longer that will take, no matter
how well you do in the future ones.
BTW -- We wouldn't bank too heavily on future math classes.
How do you find the cumlative GPA on a 4 year degree?

What is the difference between a GPA and a unweighted GPA?
There are two types of GPAs that high schools can report to colleges. Depending on your high school, your transcript can report a weighted GPA or an unweighted GPA (or both). Check with your guidance counselor if you're unsure of your school's policy.
A weighted GPA is going to give you brownie points for challenging yourself with harder classes. For example, Advanced Placement and Honors classes are generally more difficult and demanding than Academic classes are. Therefore, many schools offer an extra quality point that can be added to the GPA to "make up" for the difficulty. For example, a "B" in an AP class may be translated into an "A" in an academic class, based on a weighted GPA. Weighted GPAs can also factor in any +'s you might have. For example, an A+ would be given extra points over an A.
An unweighted GPA however strips all these brownie points away and leaves you with exactly what you've earned in your classes. A B is a B is a B, according to an unweighted GPA, and an A+ becomes a regular A. In the American education system used by most high schools, the highest unweighted GPA is a 4.0. (Weighted varies widely).
SAMPLE GPA SCALE
Grade Earned/ UW GPA/ W GPA
A....................4.0...........5.0
B....................3.0...........4.0
C....................2.0...........3.0
D....................1.0...........2.0
F................No credit......1.0
It's important that you challenge yourself with AP/Honors classes. The weighting can really help out your GPA. You should be warned though, most colleges will recalculate weighted GPAs on their own scale (which is always unweighted).
What does a 3.67 GPA mean in terms of grades?
That's generally pretty good, but it would depend on what you're applying for (clerical job or medical school?) and what course of study you took (theater or astro-physics?).
What high school GPA is required to get into fsu?
It depends, FSU minimum required GPA is 3.0. However, some of the colleges located at FSU require only a 2.5. So, it will depend on your major. Florida students applying to the University should present at least an "A-/B+" average in all academic subjects (additional weight is assigned to Honors, Dual Enrollment, AICE, AP, and IB coursework) and test scores of at least 24 (composite) on the ACT or 1620 (total) on the SAT. The profile for non-Florida applicants is higher. http://www.fsu.edu/students/prospective/admissions/requirements/froshreq.html

Is a 3.19 GPA better than a 3.40?
In the typical 4-point system, a 3.19 is a "B". So it's gooder than a 2.2, but not as good as a 3.99. (And I'm kidding about "gooder". If you use 'gooder' in a sentence, you probably wouldn't have a 3.19 in English. :)
