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.

Does USC count PE in calculating one's GPA?

Can I get into University of Oregon with a GPA of 3.4 and an 1800 SAT score?
Absolutely! Good luck and have fun. I went to U of O and I loved it!
Will maintaining a 2.0 GPA help college students in the real world.?
Well, yes and no. If you think of the real world in terms of: grocery shopping, renting an apartment, talking with neighbors/friends, ect. then no...a 2.0 GPA doesn't mean anything. In all honesty, even a 4.0 GPA wouldn't mean much in those situations.
but the second you start to look for a job (in work that requires a degree) or if you choose to pursue higher education, that GPA means a lot. Whether fairly or not, future employers may judge you (partly) based on your academics and if they look at your transcript only to see a 2.0 they may set you aside in favor of another applicant.
If their website has a minimum GPA listed, it's almost certainly correct.

What is the required GPA for admittance into Harvard University?
Boastarr is right - the average GPA for incoming students at Harvard is a 4.0. And that makes sense - it is one of the best schools in the world and attracts the best and brightest students from around the globe.
So does that mean you shouldn't apply if you don't have a 4.0?
Absolutely not.
While Harvard (and all Ivy League schools) attracts very smart students, GPA is not the only thing Harvard cares about. And many schools - including Harvard - are putting less and less emphasis on GPA overall every year.
I've said it before in response to similar questions, but there are MANY students with perfect GPAs that get rejected from Harvard every year. And there are also students getting admitted with a GPA below a 4.0. (It is an average, after all! Not a minimum!)
Harvard wants more than just a perfect GPA and a perfect SAT/ACT score. They want students who challenge themselves, and students who engage in the world around them (outside of the classroom!) What does that mean?
Well, for one, it means that you should not choose all the easiest classes in school in order to maintain a 4.0 GPA. Harvard will recognize that instantly, and it won't do you aaaany favors.
At the same time, if you are taking all Honors/AP courses and spending 100% of your time studying in order to get perfect grades, that's not going to help either.
What you want to do is mix things up. Take those challenging courses AND get involved in activities OUTSIDE of school. That can be sports, it can be volunteering, it can be an instrument, it can be... anything! Find something you love and get involved. And don't do it just for the sake of your apps. Schools can tell that, too! Do it because you love it, because you enjoy doing it, because it is your passion and you get excited about it. When you go about it that way, you'll naturally get more and more invested in it, and you'll have a lot more to show for yourself when it comes time to apply to college. (And the schools really want to see who you are as a person and what you care about and all the cool things you've accomplished because it shows them what sort of community member you'll be when you get to campus.)
And while you're doing that, make sure to stay focused on school as well. But don't stress out if your grades aren't 100% perfect. Schools, especially those in the Ivy League, would rather see you challenging yourself and getting a B+ than coasting through high school and getting an A+.
At the end of the day, if you're targeting Harvard you DO want to get that GPA as high as possible. Same with your SAT/ACT scores. After all, consider who you will be competing against to get in. But you should not devote 100% of your attention to getting a PERFECT GPA. There's a LOT more the Harvard admissions committee wants to see, and focusing exclusively on your grades is a bad idea.
How good is GPA 8.5 out of 10 to get in MIT or Stanford university?
It depends on what subject it is in:
Math: No: It has to be higher than 9.2
English: Yes: But be careful because that is the minimum
History: No: has to be 9.4 and above
I know this because my mom is a professor there and I finally got into Ryerson for history. Mit would not let me in with a 8.9 GPA. :)

How do you get good scholarship with a 3.98 GPA?
What I did....
1. Went on college's website and dug around in the financial aid department.
2. E-mail or contacted the necessary party in order to obtain information about the scholarship.
Once both of those are completed, you can continue on with whatever process is needed: filling out the FAFSA, doing an interview, writing an essay, etc.
You also can look on the website for merit scholarships, scholarships through participation with a particular club or organization at school.
Depending upon the financial status of your house, you may be eligible for a Pell Grant through the government.
assuming you are on the 10 point scale, an 87 would be considered a high B.
