I'm planning on applying to Bloomsburg University, and I want to calculate my GPA according to their standards. Does anyone know the scale they use or any tools I can use to calculate my GPA for Bloomsburg specifically? Thanks in advance!
To calculate your GPA according to Bloomsburg University's standards, you'll need to use a 4.0 scale. Here's a simple method to calculate your GPA:
1. Convert each of your course letter grades to their corresponding grade points. Generally, the scale is as follows: 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, and F = 0.0.
2. Multiply the grade points for each course by the number of credit hours the course is worth. This will give you the "weighted" grade points for each course.
3. Add up all the weighted grade points.
4. Add up all the credit hours.
5. Divide the total weighted grade points by the total credit hours. This will give you your GPA on a 4.0 scale.
Please note that Bloomsburg University may have specific policies for treating weighted courses (like honors, AP, or IB) that might affect your GPA calculation. I recommend checking their website or reaching out to the admissions office for more information on their GPA calculation policies.
Additionally, there are several online GPA calculators available that work on a 4.0 scale. Just make sure that the calculator you choose aligns with Bloomsburg University's calculation policies.
