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 does a 4.0 GPA mean in terms of grades?
Typically, within the United States, most all schools grade on a 4.0 scale with 4.0 being the highest. Thus, a 4.0 is equivalent to a letter grade of A.
Do you have to have a 4.0 GPA all through out high school to get into a ivy college?
To be honest, most likely no. Since many Ivy students have GPAs that are above 4.0, due to AP classes, you would have to have something significant to put you above the many applicants vying for a spot. If you want a point of comparison, the average GPA for a student entering UC Berkeley, which is a public, non-Ivy school in California, was 4.26.
If you do, however, have really significant skill in fields such as athletics, your chances might go higher.
AnswerHey, the below information is very true -well said! what i always recommend and that has worked for me is setting yourself apart from the crowd. everyone -at least applying to ivies- will do well in academics, will lead student bodies and will be involved in extra-curr. you need to do something other than what every else within this select group does. be creative. be ambitious. think big. you can do what college students do if you want to and are willing to work for it.my younger cousin is looking to study at Harvard. it's his no.1 choice school. a few days ago i noticed that the homepage on his PC was set to www.nattybumba.com . i was amazed. that's the homepage of choice at some ivy league schools. i even use it. i never thought a 15 year old would. but he, like many others, is doing what everyone else is doing. so it'll end up being a matter of chance. after all if u have 200 candidates that have the exact same profile...
be different in a positive way and make noise and they will hear u. i studied at LSE -it ain't Harvard but i know my background set me apart as far as admission was concerned.
You do not need to have a perfect 4.0 to get into an Ivy League School. You are rated on may levels such is essay, SAT, ACT, geographical location, extracirricular activities, clubs, memberships, volunteer work, and other relevant experience. Also, keep in mind that many wealthy folks with less than a 4.0 GPA have been accepted to Ivy League schools as well.
AnswerI believe that anything above a 3.7 could get you into an Ivy League school depending on the extra-curricular activites, volunteer work, etc. that you participated in high school. I had three seniors in my class this year get accepted to an Ivy League school, two students had a 4.0 GPA and the other had a 3.9 GPA. I believe that you will have to be very close to a 4.0 to get accepted into an Ivy League school. Good Luck! AnswerYes, less than a 4.0 GPA is enough to get you into an Ivy League school, but really you shouldn't get too much lower than a 4.0. You should aim to get at most 2 or 3 B's, depending on your other areas. Colleges do look at other things such as SAT & SAT II score, extra curricular activities, and rank. Above all, GPA is the most important. Hope this answers your question.If you have a 1.5 GPA how many classes will it take to get to 2.0?
It depends how many classes you've taken to get that 1.5 GPA. The more classes you've taken, the more you'll need to take in order to raise it to a 2.0. If, let's say, you've only taken 1 class and you got a 1.5 in that class, then by getting a 2.5 in your next class then you'll have a 2.0 average. It's also important that you get very good grades in your subsequent classes because the higher the grades the less you'll have to take to bring it up.
What is the minimum GPA requirement for UTSA?

Capella University is fine. The university has the preferred regional accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Therefore the coursework and degree you complete through this institution will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers. When choosing a college or university, always make sure the school has a regional accreditation, and you will be fine.
Is there anything higher than a four point zero grade point average?
I would presume a 4.0 in an honors program would be considered higher. If it's a 4.0 taking a course load of shop classes, PE and Yearbook it wouldn't be considered to be very impressive. A 4.0 while taking AP Math, AP English, AP history and AP Chemestry would be a little more impressive. If you compete with the BEST students it's harder to get a perfect grade.
What is GPA requirements for Community College of Denver?
The college has open admission (as with most all community colleges). No GPA required. However, a GPA of 2.0 is required to remain at the college.
What percent is equivalent to GPA of 1.63?
Low D grade, very close to failing. Colleges and universities rarely accept students with less than 2.5 gpa. Not the end of the world but you will have to work much harder in the coming years, like getting all A's, in all your classes in order to pull up that 1.63 to something that works for your benefit.
How do you convert a 10 point cgpa to 4 point GPA?
There is no direct method to convert 10 to 4.
An indirect method says convert to %, which is a global standard.
Well, it all depends on your university standards. Different universities have different standards. But 2 are most common.
- Cgpa / max cgpa x 100 = %
by this way, it is simple unitary method to solve.
Suppose you got 9.9 out of 10. Then we have
9.9 / 10 = x / 4
we can solve for x. A very simple question.
x = (9.9 * 4) / 10 = 3.96- 10 point -=- multiply with 9.3 and 4 point -=- multiply with 18, then add 20 to obtain %.
Then it is of the form a = b and c = b. So, by mathematical rule, a = c.
Taking previous example of 9.9 out of 10, we have
9.9 * 9.3 = some %
x * 18 + 20 = same %
this means that
9.9 * 9.3 = x * 18 + 20
now, solve for x.
x = ((9.9 * 9.3) - 20) / 18 = 4.00hope it helps.Is your ninth grade GPA counted in your cumulative GPA?
Yes it is because 9th grade is still part of high school. A lot of students don't realize that their freshman year grades are still important and figure that they'll improve later. Then later, they realize that they should have had good grades the whole time.
What is the GPA for Cum laude at the University of Hawaii?
Here's the deal:
UH Manoa doesn't have this distinction officially (at least from going on the website and inquiring with the school). It has an honors program which you must enroll in early on. For students who have a high GPA, it seems the national average is 3.5 and up to start, it might be wise for the student to note in their resume that their GPA is the equivalent to the average criteria that many other national universities place when determining Cum Laude.
There are many people who qualify for the honors program* here, but choose not to join because they do not want to be distracted by the bureaucratic issues; instead, opt to focus on their program.
That doesn't mean UHM isn't any good. Quite the contrary. At this research institution, many students are very creative in designing their own programs which at the end could very well rival the "honors" program the institution has set in place.
*Please note: I am not referring to the National Honors Societies which all have their own criteria.
new person. you cannot get a 4.0 for 12th grade because that will leave you with a 3.7 overall GPA.
heres how to calculate your GPA: 1. add your scores plus what you want to get in 12th grade (3.27+3.47+4.28+4.98 ) you must get 4.98 and up, you cant get less because 2. the result you get from the sum of the scores which is 16 will be divided by the number of scores you're adding, which is 4. 16 divided by 4 is 4 C:p.s yo u can use this technique at school when calculating a class test average. so you must get 4.98 and up. I agree with the comment below me: you should get a 5.00 GPA because is not quite possible to get a 4.98 GPA, BUT WITH THIS THAT YOU KNOW NOW, GO TO YOUR SCHOOL COUNCELOR AND TELL HER ABOUT YOUR CALCULATIONS- SHE WILL BE MORE THAN GLAD TO HELP YOU.
It depends on how many credits you take each year. But, assuming the number of credits in each year are the same (and of course, assuming a 5-point-based GPA rather than 4-pt, in which case the 4.28 in 11th grade would have been impossible): You need a 4.98 GPA in 12th grade. However, assuming that your individual class quality points are always whole numbers, it will be impossible to earn a GPA of exactly 4.98 unless you took 50 credits (and got an A in 49 classes and a B in one). Therefore, for all practical purposes, you need a 5.0 GPA during your senior year.

Could one get into a top college with a 3.95 unweighted GPA and 1500 on the SAT?
Top colleges prefer new students to hold a unweighted GPA over 3.7 and a SAT score above 1900. It is possible to attend a top college with a 3.95 unweighted GPA and a low SAT score of 1500 with letter of recommendations, and lots of community/volunteer experience.
If you somehow manage to score perfect 4.0's in all of your senior classes, then you could pull off a 2.35 but no higher.
Multiply 1.8 by the number of classes you've taken so far and add it to the number of classes you will take your senior year times 4.0 and divide it all by the total number of classes you will have taken by graduation for a final gpa.

A 3.4 grade point average, or GPA, means that you got mostly B's and A's while you were in school. It's also possible that you got an occasional C, but a 3.4 indicates that overall you were a very good student.
