How to Calculate GPA for ASU?

Hey guys, I'm looking to apply to Arizona State University and my school has an unconventional GPA scale. Does anyone know how to calculate my GPA to meet ASU standards so that I can estimate my chances? I'd appreciate the help!

Calculating your GPA to match Arizona State University's standards is fairly straightforward, especially if you have access to your high school transcript or know the specific grades you received. ASU uses a standard 4.0 GPA scale, with the following point values assigned to letter grades:

- A: 4.0

- B: 3.0

- C: 2.0

- D: 1.0

- F: 0

To calculate your GPA for ASU, follow these steps:

1. Convert each of your letter grades into their corresponding numerical values using the scale above.

2. Multiply each course's numerical value by the number of credit hours the course is worth (if your school uses credit hours; if not, you can simply skip this step).

3. Add up all the numerical values (or weighted values if using credit hours) you calculated in steps 1 and 2.

4. Divide the sum from step 3 by the total number of credit hours (or courses, if your school doesn't use credit hours).

The result will be your GPA on the 4.0 scale used by ASU. Keep in mind that this is your unweighted GPA, and it doesn't account for any additional weight given to honors, AP, or IB courses.

However, when applying to ASU, they do consider the rigor of your coursework, so having honors, AP, and IB classes on your transcript could also impact your chances. For a more accurate estimation of your chances at ASU, it's a good idea to use an online tool like CollegeVine's chancing calculator, which takes into account your GPA, test scores, extracurricular activities, and other factors to provide you with an estimated probability of acceptance.
