Alright, guys, does anyone understand the GPA scale for Baruch? I'm trying to calculate my GPA according to it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Baruch College, like many other institutions, uses a 4.0 scale to calculate GPA. Your GPA is computed by assigning a certain value to each grade you earn in your classes and then averaging these out. Here's a basic breakdown of how the grading scale works:
- 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
- F = 0.0
To calculate your GPA, you multiply each of these values by the number of credit hours the course is worth, add all these values together, and then divide the total by the number of total credit hours you've taken.
For example, if you've taken a 3-credit class for which you received a B (3.0), a 4-credit class where you got an A- (3.7), and a 3-credit class where you got a C+ (2.3), your GPA would be calculated like this:
(3.03)+(3.74)+(2.33) divided by (3+4+3) = 3.13 (rounded to two decimal places).
Remember that this is just for one semester. When calculating your cumulative GPA, you'd have to account for all the terms you've attended and all the grades you've received. You'd sum the GPA for each semester and then divide by the total number of semesters. Hope this helps!
