Hello good people, I am a bit lost here. I need to calculate my GPA for applying to the University of Arkansas and am not sure how... Is there any sort of UArk GPA calculator I can use?
It's understandable to feel a bit foggy when dealing with college applications and GPA calculations. Although the University of Arkansas (UArk) does not officially provide its own GPA calculator, you can still manually calculate your GPA using a universal method that most colleges, including UArk, follow, which is on a 4.0 scale.
Here's a simple step-by-step process to guide you:
1. Start by assigning each letter grade a number equivalent. Here are the equivalents: A = 4.00, B = 3.00, C = 2.00, D = 1.00, and F = 0. Grades such as A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B- = 2.7, and so on, down the scale.
2. Next, for each class, multiply the number of credits it’s worth by the numerical value assigned to the grade you received. This gives you the “quality points” for each course. For example, an A (4.00) in a 3-hour course would yield 12 quality points.
3. After doing this for all your courses, tally up the total number of quality points.
4. Then, divide this sum by the total number of credit hours you’ve taken.
The outcome gives you your GPA.
