Hey all, if a student gets all B- on their high school grades, do you know what that would look like in terms of GPA? It would help me plan out my college applications better.
Sure, academic grading scales can often be a little confusing! Typically, in a standard 4.0 GPA scale, a 'B-' equates to approximately a 2.7 GPA. Therefore, if a student were to receive all 'B-' grades, their cumulative GPA would be around a 2.7.
Remember that the GPA can vary with the grading system and how each school weights AP or Honors courses. Since colleges look at both weighted and unweighted GPAs, it's important to factor in your rigorous courses into your GPA calculation as well!
Make sure to cross-verify this from your school’s specific scale, since some schools may calculate GPA slightly differently. This information could sometimes be found in your school handbook or by asking your guidance counselor directly. Hope this helps your college application planning!
