how will my gpa change?

One thought on “how will my gpa change?”

1. To determine how your GPA will change based on your new grades, we need to know a few details:

   1. Current GPA: You said you have a 3.8 GPA, but we need to know how many total credit hours you currently have.
   2. Weight of the Classes: AP classes and college classes usually have different weightings compared to regular classes. For example, AP classes might be weighted on a 5.0 scale instead of a 4.0 scale.

   Assuming the following:

   • Your current GPA of 3.8 is based on a certain number of credit hours (let’s say 15 for this example).
   • AP and college classes are weighted more heavily (let’s assume AP is 5.0, college is 4.5).

   For your new grades:
   – 2 As in AP classes: 2 * 5.0 = 10 points
   – 2 As in college classes: 2 * 4.5 = 9 points
   – 1 B- in a college class (let’s assume B- = 3.0): 1 * 3.0 = 3 points

   Total points from the new classes = 10 + 9 + 3 = 22 points

   If those new classes are worth, say, 5 credit hours each (for a total of 25 hours), we can calculate how the new GPA will look.

   1. Calculate total points you currently have:

   2. Current GPA * Total credit hours = 3.8 * 15 = 57 points

   3. Now add the new points:

   4. New total points = 57 (current) + 22 (new) = 79 points

   5. New total credit hours = 15 (current) + 5 (2 AP) + 5 (2 college) + 3 (1 college B-) = 28 hours

   6. New GPA = Total points / Total credit hours = 79 / 28 ≈ 2.82 (This number will likely change based on actual credit representations for grades)

   This demonstrates how to calculate it, but you may want to check the specific credit values assigned to each of your classes and any cumulative GPA policies to get a precise number.

   If you provide your total current credit hours or details about the weights assigned to your classes, I can help give you a more accurate calculation.
