I'm trying to figure out my GPA according to Ball State's scale. Does anyone know of a GPA calculator specifically for Ball State, or if the regular 4.0 scale is used there? A little stressed about meeting their requirements!
Ball State University, like many other U.S. institutions, uses the standard 4.0 GPA scale. To calculate your GPA, you can use a general GPA calculator, as it should align with Ball State's grading standards.
Here are the steps for manually calculating your GPA on a 4.0 scale:
1. List all your courses and their respective number of credit hours.
2. Assign a grade point for each course based on your letter grade (A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, F = 0.0).
3. Multiply the grade point for each course by the number of credit hours for that course.
4. Add up the total number of credit hours.
5. Add up the total grade points from the multiplication results.
6. Divide the total grade points by the total credit hours.
This should give you your GPA on a 4.0 scale. To ensure you meet Ball State's requirements, be sure to check its website or contact the admissions office for the most up-to-date information.
Keep in mind that colleges consider additional factors in the admissions process, such as standardized test scores, extracurricular activities, and essays. Make sure to give attention to all aspects of your application to improve your chances of a successful outcome. Good luck!
