GPA (Grade Point Average) is a numerical summary of academic performance. In the US system, each letter grade has a point value (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0). GPA = total grade points ÷ total credit hours attempted.
A 4.0 GPA is the highest achievable in the standard US system, indicating straight As. Most graduate programs require minimum 3.0 GPA; honor societies typically require 3.5 or higher.
Weighted GPA (5.0 scale) gives extra credit for AP, IB, or honors classes — an A in honors might be worth 4.5 or 5.0 instead of 4.0.
GPA = total quality points ÷ total credit hours. Quality points = grade points × credit hours. Example: A (4.0) in a 3-credit course = 12 quality points.
On a 4.0 scale: 3.7-4.0 = excellent, 3.3-3.6 = very good, 3.0-3.2 = good (most grad school minimums), 2.5-2.9 = average.
Semester GPA covers just the current term. Cumulative GPA combines all semesters. One strong semester has more impact when total credits are low.
