Could use some help in figuring out. Does anyone know how I can calculate my GPA for UT Austin? Can't seem to find a clear answer online.
When calculating your GPA for admission to the University of Texas at Austin, you'll want to use a 4.0 scale. Here's a straightforward approach:
Step 1: Convert your grades to the 4.0 scale. UT Austin uses regular weighting for its GPA calculation and here's what equivalent grade points for regular classes would look like:
- An A+ (97-100%) = 4.0
- A (93-96%) = 4.0
- A- (90-92%) = 3.7
- B+ (87-89%) = 3.3
- B (83-86%) = 3.0
- B- (80-82%) = 2.7
- C+ (77-79%) = 2.3
- C (73-76%) = 2.0
- C- (70-72%) = 1.7
- D+ (67-69%) = 1.3
- D (63-66%) = 1.0
- D- (60-62%) = 0.7
- F (< 60%) = 0
Step 2: Add all of the grade points from your classes together.
Step 3: Divide by the number of courses you've taken.
Please be aware that UT Austin recalculates all GPAs for consistency, and the GPA in the core curriculum, not the overall GPA, is considered when evaluating applicants. For more precise and experts' guidance, consult with a school counselor or use a web tool to calculate your GPAs accurately using the weighting UT Austin applies.
