Chapman GPA Calculator

Hi there, I'm applying to Chapman University and was wondering if there's a specific GPA calculator I should use to determine my weighted GPA according to their standards. Any insights or links would be much appreciated!

Hi! While there isn't a Chapman University-specific GPA calculator, you can use a standard weighted GPA calculator to get an estimate of your weighted GPA. Most U.S. high schools use a 4.0 scale for unweighted GPAs and a 5.0 scale for weighted GPAs. To calculate your weighted GPA, you'll want to assign point values to your grades (with an additional point for AP, IB, or Honors classes) and then divide the sum of those point values by the total number of classes.

Here's a quick breakdown of the point values (using a 5.0 scale):

- A (or A+): 4 points (5 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- A-: 3.7 points (4.7 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- B+: 3.3 points (4.3 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- B: 3 points (4 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- B-: 2.7 points (3.7 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- C+: 2.3 points (3.3 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- C: 2 points (3 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- C-: 1.7 points (2.7 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- D+: 1.3 points (2.3 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- D: 1 point (2 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- D-: 0.7 points (1.7 points for AP/IB/Honors)

- F: 0 points

After calculating your weighted GPA, keep in mind that Chapman University, like many other schools, will also conduct a holistic review of your application, considering not only your GPA but other factors like your extracurriculars, essays, and standardized test scores (if applicable). Good luck with your application!
