UW Milwaukee GPA Calculator?

Hey, in anticipation of applying to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I'd like to calculate my GPA according to their system. Any advice on finding a good GPA calculator for UW Milwaukee?

Hi there! While I don't have a specific GPA calculator made for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I can provide general guidelines to help you calculate your GPA as accurately as possible. UW Milwaukee typically uses a 4.0 scale, which is pretty standard across US universities.

Here's a simple method to calculate your GPA on a 4.0 scale:

1. Convert each of your course letter grades into the corresponding grade points. Generally, the conversion is as follows: A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1, F = 0. Keep in mind that some schools use a slightly different system based on plus/minus grades, so it would be useful to look up UW Milwaukee's specific conversion chart if available.

2. Multiply the grade points obtained in step 1 by the number of credit hours each course is worth.

3. Sum up the total grade points from step 2.

4. Sum up the total credit hours of all your courses.

5. Divide the result from step 3 by the result from step 4 to get your GPA on a 4.0 scale.

Remember that the GPA calculation method may vary slightly depending on factors like weighted courses, so refer to UW Milwaukee's specific guidelines if possible. Additionally, you can try online GPA calculators to perform these calculations for you, but be sure the calculator you use aligns with UW Milwaukee's grading system.

Good luck with your application!
