| Assume the average score is... well, let's say for calculation's sake it is 5. Then using the three methods above...
2.5 * 1.4 = 3.5 * 8 = 28
2.5 * 1.2 = 3.0 * 1 = 3
2.5 * 1.0 = 2.5 * 1 = 2.5 + = 33.5 / 10 = 3.35 GPA.
4.0 * 7 / 7 * 8 = 32
4.0 * 6 / 7 * 1 = 24 / 7
4.0 * 5 / 7 * 1 = 20 / 7 + = 3.82 GPA *** notice that this method gave a higher number this time
2.5 + 1.34 * 2/7 = 2.88 GPA.
If the average is 4/7, things change quite a bit...
2.5 * 1.75 = 4.375 * 8 = 35
2.5 * 1.5 = 3.75 * 1 = 3.75
2.5 * 1.25 = 3.125 * 1 = 3.125 + = 4.185 GPA.
the second number is the same, namely, 3.82 GPA
finally,
2.5 + 1.425 * 3/7 = 3.11 GPA.
Averaging all of these numbers...
3.35
3.82
2.88
4.19
3.82
3.11
------
3.52 GPA.
You will probably be looking at something in the neighborhood of a 3.52 GPA, depending on how competitive a school you're at. That's a healthy mix of As and Bs at an American school, which indicates performance in the A- to B+ range. |
