Frequently Asked Questions
How is GPA calculated?
GPA is calculated by multiplying each course grade point value by the number of credit hours, summing all the points, and dividing by total credit hours. For example, an A (4.0) in a 3-credit course contributes 12 quality points.
What is a good GPA?
A GPA above 3.0 is generally considered good. A 3.5 or higher is considered excellent. However, what counts as "good" varies by program — medical schools may expect 3.7+, while many employers consider 3.0 competitive.
What is the difference between semester and cumulative GPA?
Semester GPA reflects only the courses taken in a single term. Cumulative GPA includes all courses across all semesters of your academic career.
What is weighted vs unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA uses a standard 4.0 scale for all classes. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors or AP courses (e.g., an A in AP might count as 5.0). This calculator uses the standard unweighted 4.0 scale with +/- grade support.
