Calculating GPA Forum

Can anyone explain how to calculate one's GPA when the grades are numbers as opposed to letters? I've already googled it, and everything I find on Google involves letter grades.

Ask your school for the exact method to use for putting a GPA on your resume.

My guess would be that you would use the chart in your student handbook to convert from number to letter grade, then use the normal letter grades to GPA method

A (90 to 100)
B (80 to 89)
C (70 to 79)
D (66 to 69)
F (Below 66)

ETA: To calculate the Cum GPA used at your school it would just be the sum of each Number Grade * Credits in that Course, then divide by the number of credits total.

I've seen this.

(A+) 97-100: 4.0
(A ) 94-96: 3.7
(A-) 90-93: 3.3
(B+) 87-89: 3.0
(B ) 84-86: 2.7
(B-) 80-83: 2.3
(C+) 77-79: 2.0
(C ) 74-76: 1.7
(C-) 70-73: 1.3
(D ) 67-69: 1.0
(F ) 0-66: 0.0

I'm pretty sure the above is incorrect, I believe it is:

(A+) 97-100: 4.33
(A ) 94-96: 4.0
(A-) 90-93: 3.7
(B+) 87-89: 3.33
(B ) 84-86: 3.0
(B-) 80-83: 2.7
(C+) 77-79: 2.33
(C ) 74-76: 2.0
(C-) 70-73: 1.7
(D ) 67-69: 1.33
(F ) 0-66: 0

It might vary by the school. My school uses x.3 for + grades and x.7 for - grades.

Yea, sorry, I think this is more likely, with flat A, B, C as 4, 3, and 2 respectively.

it varies by school (but only slightly)

general question: is A- really 3.7? I always thought it was 3.666.
