Hi everyone, I'm wondering how to calculate my GPA on the scale Kenyon College uses. Does anyone know how their system works or if there's a specific calculator they prefer? Thanks for the help!
Kenyon College, uses a slightly modified 4.0 scale. Here's a quick breakdown of how their 4.0 scale works:
- A+ and A: 4.0
- A-: 3.67
- B+: 3.33
- B: 3.0
- B-: 2.67
- C+: 2.33
- C: 2.0
- C- : 1.67
- D+: 1.33
- D: 1.0
- D-: 0.67
- F: 0.0
To calculate your GPA, you'll first need to convert each of your letter grades to the corresponding grade points using the scale above. Then, multiply each grade point value by the number of credit hours for that course. Add up the total grade points, and then divide that sum by the total number of credit hours to find your GPA.
Remember, Kenyon may also recalculate your GPA based on their own grading policy when evaluating your application, but having a general understanding of your GPA on a 4.0 scale will be helpful when comparing your academic profile to admitted students' profiles and determining your competitiveness in the application process.
