FAQ

01How do I calculate my high school GPA?

List every course with its letter grade and credit value, convert each grade to GPA points (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0), multiply by credits, sum the products, then divide by total credits. Most US high schools assign 1 credit per semester-long course.

02What is a good high school GPA?

A high school GPA of 3.5 or higher is considered good and competitive for most four-year colleges. State universities typically expect 3.0+, while top-tier schools like Stanford or MIT prefer 3.8+. The US national average for high school students is roughly 3.0.

03Is a 3.7 GPA a B+?

No — a 3.7 GPA corresponds to an A-, not a B+. On the standard 4.0 scale, B+ equals 3.3, A- equals 3.7, A equals 4.0. A 3.7 high school GPA is strong and meets the cutoff for most academic honors recognitions.

04Do colleges look at weighted or unweighted GPA?

Most colleges look at both. Unweighted GPA shows raw performance on the 4.0 scale; weighted GPA shows whether you took AP, IB, or Honors courses. Selective schools expect a strong weighted GPA reflecting course rigor.

05Is a 2.7 GPA bad in high school?

A 2.7 GPA equals a B- average, below the US high school average of 3.0. It limits options for four-year colleges (top schools want 3.5+), but qualifies for many state schools and community colleges. Improvement in upcoming semesters can lift it.
