Hey guys, I'm interested in applying to FAMU and I'd like to know where I stand GPA-wise. Do they have a specific GPA calculator or should I use the standard 4.0 scale?
FAMU, like many universities, uses a standard 4.0 GPA scale to evaluate applicants' academic performance. You can use a general GPA calculator tool to convert your grades into the 4.0 scale. Keep in mind that FAMU may consider both your unweighted and weighted GPA, depending on advanced and honors coursework you've taken.
When calculating your GPA, make sure to be consistent with your high school's grading scale. If your high school reports GPA on a 100-point or some other scale, convert it to the 4.0 scale using an online GPA converter or follow your school's GPA conversion guidelines.
Remember that GPA is just one component of your application. FAMU, like many other colleges, evaluates applicants holistically by taking into consideration factors such as test scores (if applicable), extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. It's important to focus on all aspects of your application to improve your chances for admission. Good luck with your application!
