Marquette GPA calculator

Is there a specific GPA calculator or scale Marquette uses to evaluate high school students' GPAs? I'd like to know what my GPA looks like according to their standards.

Marquette University does not provide a specific GPA calculator on their website, but they do mention that they evaluate applicants using a weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale, taking into account the rigor of the courses you've taken. To get an idea of what your GPA might look like to Marquette, you can follow these general steps:

1. Convert each of your grades to a numerical value based on the standard 4.0 scale: A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.

2. If your high school weighs GPAs (e.g., by adding extra points for honors, AP, or IB classes), factor in the appropriate weighting to each numerical value. For example, add 0.5 points for honors classes and 1 point for AP/IB classes (assuming that's how your high school does it—check with your school counselor for the specific weighting system used in your school).

3. Multiply each converted grade by the number of credits (or credit hours) the class is worth.

4. Add up the weighted grades from all your classes.

5. Divide the sum by the total number of credits (or credit hours) you've completed.

Remember that this calculation is just an estimate since Marquette may have specific ways of evaluating and weighing GPAs. Moreover, Marquette looks at other factors in their holistic review process such as standardized test scores, strength of high school curriculum, extracurricular activities, and essays.

If you want a more detailed evaluation of your transcript in terms of Marquette's standards, consider reaching out to your high school counselor or contacting Marquette University admissions office directly for more information.
