How do colleges calculate GPA?

Most colleges recalculate GPAs using their own scales, but they’ll consider both your school’s weighted and unweighted GPA. Our tool helps you understand both calculations.

What’s a good GPA?

This varies by context:

• High school: 3.0+ is generally good, 3.5+ competitive for top colleges
• College: 2.5+ maintains standing, 3.0+ for honors, 3.5+ for grad school

Can I calculate semester GPA?

Yes! Our GPA tool works for any time period – semester, year, or cumulative. Just enter the relevant courses.

Understanding Your Grade Point Average

Your GPA is crucial for academic success and college applications. Here’s what you need to know:

• Scale variations: Some schools use 4.0, 4.5, or 5.0 scales
• Plus/minus grades: A- might be 3.7, B+ 3.3, etc.
• College prep: Many colleges recalculate GPAs uniformly
• Improvement plans: Use our GPA calculator to test different grade scenarios
