Hey, really hoping to get into WSU and trying to calculate my GPA for them. Anyone got a reliable WSU GPA calculator, or advice on how to do it myself? Thanks in advance!
Washington State University, as with most universities, uses a 4.0 scale to calculate GPAs. Here's a simple way how you can calculate it:
1. Convert each individual grade you received into a GPA value. The WSU system typically equates an A to a 4.0, B to a 3.0, C to a 2.0, D to a 1.0, and F to a 0. For half grades such as a B+ or C-, you'd use 3.5 for a B+ and 1.5 for a C-, etc.
2. Multiply this GPA value by the amount of credit hours the course was worth. For example, if you received an A in a 3-credit course, you would get 12 (because 4.0 x 3 credits = 12).
3. Repeat this for each course you took and add these values together.
4. Finally, you divide this number by the total credit hours you completed. For example, if you took 15 credits worth of classes, and your added total from the above steps was 48, you would calculate your GPA as follows: 48 / 15 = 3.2.
Remember, this is just a general method to calculate your GPA. It's always a good idea to double-check with the individual schools to see if they have any specific GPA calculation policies. Using this method, you can calculate your GPA without any specific WSU GPA calculator.
