From GPA to Letter Grades

Hey, everyone! When talking about GPAs, I often hear references to a 3.0 grade point average. How does that translate into a letter grade?

In general, a Grade Point Average (GPA) translates to letter grades in the following way:

- A = 4.00 grade points

- A- = 3.70 grade points

- B+ = 3.30 grade points

- B = 3.00 grade points

- B- = 2.70 grade points

- C+ = 2.30 grade points

- C = 2.00 grade points

- C- = 1.70 grade points

- D+ = 1.30 grade points

- D = 1.00 grade points

- D- = 0.70 grade points

- F = 0.00 grade points

Remember, these are generalized, and it may vary slightly from school to school. Typically, a 3.0 GPA translates to a B or B- average.
