I'm thinking about applying to Eastern Michigan University and want to know how to calculate my GPA according to their standards. Does anyone know if they use a specific GPA calculator or if there are certain guidelines I should follow? Thanks!
Eastern Michigan University (EMU) calculates GPA using a 4.0 scale, where an A is worth 4 points, a B is worth 3 points, a C is worth 2 points, a D is worth 1 point, and an F is worth 0 points. To calculate your GPA for Eastern Michigan University, follow these steps:
1. Assign each of your course letter grades a point value as mentioned above. For example, if you received an A, it would be worth 4 points. If you received a B, it would be worth 3 points, and so on.
2. If your school classifies courses as regular, honors, AP, or IB, be sure to adjust the point values accordingly. EMU may award additional weight to honors, AP, and IB courses. Check with your school counselor or EMU admissions office to verify if/how these courses are weighted at your high school.
3. Multiply the point value you assigned to each course by the number of credit hours it was worth. This will give you the quality points for each course.
4. Add up the total quality points you have earned and the total credit hours you have attempted.
5. Divide the total quality points by the total credit hours to get your GPA.
Please note that in addition to your GPA, EMU will consider other factors in the application process, such as standardized test scores (if provided), extracurricular activities, essays, and recommendation letters.
Remember to double-check with your high school counselor or Eastern Michigan University's admissions office if you have any doubts about GPA calculation or weighting for specific courses.
