Umich GPA

Colleges & Universities University of Michigan

<p>My school is going to put my number grade for each course on my transcript. This should help my GPA. But first, in order to calculate my UM GPA, I need to know what the number, letter, point value chart UMich uses is.</p>

<p>For instance:</p>

<p>what letter grade is a 91 worth? Is it worth an A or an A-? If its worth an A- is this worth 3.67 or 3.84 or 4.0…? Please help me by giving me an in depth chart.</p>

They don’t mind 3.6 or 3.7. They grade your grades in their understanding of rigor of your courses in the way described.</p>

<p>the first thing on the Umich application rating sheet is the students recalculated GPA. I am trying to recalculate my GPA. I have a 3.76 at my HS, but a lot of my grades have been 90-92 and I am trying to figure out what the 3.?? will be for these grades when Umich recalculates them. I also got an 85 in Sophomore year Latin, it was an honors course and it was difficult, but I am trying to determine how that will affect my Umich GPA.</p>

<p>Please, if anyone knows let me know. I can even give you my grades if you want to calculate it for me:</p>

<p>soph:
latin-85
french-91
English-95
Math-92
Religion-94
AP USH-91
Chem-91</p>

<p>junior:
AP eng-90
french-95
latin-95
AP Gov-94
religion-95
art-96
Algebra II/Trig-96</p>

<p>obviously religion and art will probably not count</p>

<p>Your Umich GPA is a 3.91.</p>

5

<p>3.91 GPA and 1350 on the SAT. Hopefully i can clear the 2000 mark on the SAT when I take it in October. </p>

<p>I know everyone chanced me the other day at 3.76. Obviously nothing else has changed since then but is a 3.91 a pretty big boost to my chances?</p>

6

<p>Yes, Michigan cares a lot about GPA, and considering the vast majority of candidates will fall in the 3.75-4.0 range, that’s a significant boost.</p>

7

<p>so with an application submitted by sept 15., a Umich GPA of 3.91, and the previous activities/SAT scores provided what would you evaluate my chances as?</p>

8

<p>wbsn12 your school does not have two semesters within each school year? It appears you’ve only listed grades for one semester each school year.</p>

9

<p>grades are for the entire school year. For instance, I took Algebra II as a Junior, first semester and second semester, my grade first semester might have been 94, second semester 98, so my grade in Algebra II was a 96.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Your GPA is really good. Just a question: Your SAT is out of 1600, right? It’s not bad … you could definitely keep it there if you plan on applying early.</p>

11

<p>yeah so I have the 1350, and a 1970 overall.</p>

<p>Advantages to taking test a 3rd time:
-Will increase math score (currently a 640) to approx a 670
-Will increase writing score
-Strong chance I will be able to go over 2000</p>

<p>Disadvantages
-Strong chance I wont be able to replicate a 710 on my verbal</p>

<p>If Michigan looks at your highest individual cr, writing, and math then it is a no brainer to take it. If they look at your highest single sitting, not so sure its worth taking again. Please advise.</p>

<p>What do you guys think my chances are?</p>

12

<p>If you push your SAT’s to 2100 then: Safety Match</p>

<p>If not, then Match.</p>

<p>Michigan does not super score.</p>

<p>Apply Early! I can’t stress that enough</p>

<p>Deadline: November 1, 2009</p>
