Frequently Asked Questions

What grades count towards GPA?
Generally, all courses that have been assigned a letter grade (A-F) and credit hours count towards your GPA. Pass/Fail courses usually do not impact GPA but do count towards credit completion.
How do I calculate GPA from percentage?
To convert percentage to 4.0 GPA, you typically map ranges. 93-100% is 4.0 (A), 90-92% is 3.7 (A-), and so on. Use our calculator to select the letter grade corresponding to your percentage.
What is a "Weighted" GPA?
Our calculator computes a weighted GPA based on credit hours (Course Credits × Grade Points). Some high schools also weight based on difficulty (AP/IB courses), often on a 5.0 scale, but college GPAs are typically standardized to 4.0.
What is a good GPA for US universities?
Top tier universities (Ivy League) typically look for 3.75+. A GPA of 3.0 to 3.5 is considered good and meets the requirement for most state universities and graduate programs.
How does an "F" grade affect GPA?
An "F" grade carries 0.0 grade points but still counts towards total attempted credits. This significantly lowers your GPA because you are adding to the denominator (credits) without adding to the numerator (points).
