Can someone verify that I'm calculating my future GPA correctly?
I am on the low A range in 3 of my classes with a guaranteed A in the 4th.
My school does it by GPA points, which is found by multiplying the units of the class x however many GPA points earned.
For example, an 'A' is 4 gpa points. But if its a 4 unit class, you'll get 16 points.
if it was a 1 unit class, you'd get 4.
a 3 is worth 3 points. So if I get an A in a 3 unit class thats 12 points. I hope that is a good explanation.
Anyways, for my question:
I have 175 GPA points with 50 units done.
so 175/50 = 3.5 which is what my transcript shows.
Right now, I'm in TWO 4 unit classes, and TWO three unit classes.
I will have a guaranteed A in a 4 unit class. That is 16 points.
But let's say I get B's in the other 3. That would mean the GPA points awarded for those would be 12, 9 and 9.
So all together I would get 16 + 12 + 9 + 9 for this semester, which is 46. Adding that to my points thus far, 175 + 46 = 221. Now to find the future GPA, I divide 221 by 60, since that is how many units i'll have completed.
That is 3.68.
So, would that be right? I feel like it is wrong, how would my GPA jump almost 2 points from just one semester? Or am I just not seeing something. I just want to be safe and know my GPA if shit hits the fan.
