What would my unweighted gpa be?

I currently obtain a 4.4 gpa out of a 5.0 scale… Can anyone tell me what my unweighted gpa would be?

2

We would have to know the individual unweighted grades for every class.

3

4.0 for regular classes and 5.0 for honors/AP classes.

4

Then you would have a 4.0.

5

Why don’t you just calculate it yourself if you know the weighting system?
Otherwise, you have to tell us how many regular, honors, and AP classes you’ve taken and what grades you got in each.

6

Not necessarily. For example, if OP is taking all weighted classes (using the convention A = 5, B = 4, etc. weighted; A = 4, B = 3, etc. unweighted), then she could have a 3.4 GPA.

@Maddie929 if you know the letter grades of all your classes, you should be able to compute unweighted GPA.

7

Are you taking APs as a freshman?

8

If you got an A in every class, your unweighted GPA is 4.0.

9

I have all As… so far…

10

Honors World Geography - A
Honors Biology - A
Honors Geometry - A
Principles of Art- A
Debate -A
Tennis - A
Honors English - A

11

Then your UW GPA is 4.0 assuming you keep the A’s. Case closed

OP - I’m confused. In your other post, you said that you are failing math (55% on exam) and don’t understand any of the concepts. How do you have an A in the class?

Also, you don’t have a foreign language. On its website, Yale states: “Generally speaking, you should try to take courses each year in English, science, math, the social sciences, and foreign language”. What foreign languages are available at your school for you to take?

13

BUSTED.

@Maddie929 That is true - I’m confused as well. If this were an advanced or college-level class, you likely wouldn’t have an A in the geometry class.

Additionally, you said you have all A’s (so far). If so, computing your UW GPA doesn’t even require basic arithmetic. However, if those grades aren’t final or don’t factor into GPA, we cannot really tell.

15

I have an A in geometry, I did test corrections and extra credit. If I was honest about failing an exam, then why in the world would I lie about having an A in the class?

16

I think we were all confused, because you stated that you don’t understand the basic concepts.

You’re a freshman, so you should strive for a solid understanding of the concepts, not just getting an A in the class. Otherwise, your performance in future math classes will suffer and your GPA may drop. Additionally, you might have to do much more prep work for the SAT/ACT (I assume b/c you stated that Yale is your dream school), which can easily be avoided by going for a solid understanding of the subject.

17

How do you bring a 55% to an A with corrections or extra credit? Wish my teachers did that…

18

I brought it up to a 80, my other grades in the class withstand this grade…

19

Like I said before, there is literally no point for me to lie about having an A in the class when I’m already admitting to failing the test. -.- It doesn’t even make sense to lie about having an A in the class when it will be permanently recorded on my report card.

@Kawaiiii‌, I can’t be BUSTED for something I didn’t lie about.
