Hoping for some help here. Does anyone know how can I calculate my GPA as per Auburn's scale? I'm trying to see where my GPA stands according to their scale. Thanks in advance!
Auburn University utilizes a 4.0 grading scale, just like most U.S. colleges. Here's how Auburn's scale breaks down:
- A (90-100%) = 4.0
- B (80-89%) = 3.0
- C (70-79%) = 2.0
- D (60-69%) = 1.0
- F (below 60%) = 0.0
To calculate your GPA according to Auburn's scale, you should first convert each of your grades to the corresponding value in this scale.
Let's say you have earned the following grades for 6 courses (assuming each course carries an equal weight):
- A for 2 courses: 4.0 each
- B for 1 course: 3.0
- C for 2 courses: 2.0 each
- D for 1 course: 1.0
Then, calculate your total GPA points by adding them up: 4.0 + 4.0+ 3.0 + 2.0 + 2.0 + 1.0 = 16.0
Next, calculate the total number of courses (which is 6 in this example)
Finally, divide total GPA points by the total number of courses: 16.0/6 = 2.67
So, your calculated GPA according to Auburn's scale is 2.67. Remember that this is a simplified example and actual GPA calculation might vary based on course credits and other factors. If your school uses a different grading scale, make sure to first translate your grades to Auburn's scale before calculating your GPA.
