Hey y'all! I'm curious if there's a GPA calculator specific for Texas State University? I'd like to know how to calculate my GPA the way Texas State does to see how I compare to other applicants. Thanks in advance!
Hey! While there isn't a Texas State University-specific GPA calculator available, you can use a standard unweighted or weighted GPA calculator to get an estimate of your GPA based on Texas State's grading scale. Keep in mind that Texas State calculates GPA on a 4.0 scale, where A = 4.0, B = 3.0, C = 2.0, D = 1.0, and F = 0.0.
Here's how you can calculate your GPA manually:
1. Assign a point value to each of your letter grades based on the 4.0 scale mentioned above (e.g., A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, etc.).
2. Multiply the points for each course by the number of credit hours it's worth. This will give you your "weighted points" for each course.
3. Add up all of the weighted points from your courses.
4. Add up the total number of credit hours for all your courses.
5. Lastly, divide the sum of your weighted points by the total number of credit hours to get your cumulative GPA.
Alternatively, you can use an online GPA calculator like the one available on CollegeVine: https://www.collegevine.com/gpa-calculator/
Keep in mind that your unweighted GPA is just one part of your application, and Texas State looks at various factors during the admissions process. It's essential to ensure you have strong extracurriculars, essays, and possibly test scores (if you decide to submit them) to complement your GPA in order to be a competitive applicant.
Best of luck with your application!
