Yo, I'm thinking about applying to Arizona State University and I want to check if my GPA matches their requirements. Can you point me in the right direction to find the accurate GPA calculation process for ASU? Thanks!
Sure thing! To calculate your GPA for Arizona State University, you'll want to follow their 4.0-unweighted scale based on your grades, which factors only your core classes (English, math, social science, science, and foreign language). Here's the grade point conversion for a 4.0-unweighted scale:
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7
C+ = 2.3
C = 2.0
C- = 1.7
D+ = 1.3
D = 1.0
D- = 0.7
F = 0
To calculate your GPA, follow these steps:
1. First, list out all your grades in core classes, and assign each grade the corresponding point value from the scale above.
2. Add up all the grade points.
3. Divide the sum of the grade points by the total number of core classes you've taken.
For example, if you have taken 16 core classes and have received the following grades:
A, A, B+, B, B, A-, B, C+, B+, A, B, B+, A-, A, A-, C
Your GPA calculation would be:
(4 + 4 + 3.3 + 3 + 3 + 3.7 + 3 + 2.3 + 3.3 + 4 + 3 + 3.3 + 3.7 + 4 + 3.7 + 2)/16 ≈ 3.43
You can then compare your calculated GPA with the requirements at ASU. It's important to remember that though GPA is an important part of the admission process, the university evaluates applicants holistically, which means they also consider other factors such as extracurricular activities, application essays, and test scores (if provided).
Additionally, since requirements may vary across different programs at ASU, I recommend carefully checking program-specific admission requirements during the application process. Good luck!
