Hey folks, I'm a junior and UCF is on my college shortlist. I'm trying to figure out where I stand academically and see if I align with their expectations. So does UCF provide a GPA calculator or something to calculate anticipated GPA?
There's no official University of Central Florida (UCF) GPA calculator, but you can calculate your GPA on your own. UCF, like many institutions, uses a standard 4.0 scale. Here's a quick guideline on how to calculate it:
1. Assign each grade a point value. Generally, A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, and F=0.0. Plus (+) grades add 0.3 points except A+ which typically still equates to 4.0, and minus (-) grades deduct 0.3 points.
2. Multiply the point value of the grade by the course credit hours. For example, an A in a 3-credit course would be 4.0 x 3 = 12.0.
3. Do this for all your courses and add these numbers up.
4. Then, divide this total by the total number of credit hours you’ve completed.
This will give you an approximate GPA. However, remember each high school might have its own way of calculating GPA due to weighting practices. As for predicting anticipated GPA, add your estimated grade points for your upcoming courses and then divide by your total credits like before.
UCF's average enrolled freshmen GPA is around 4.12, but this is the average weighted high school GPA. Unweighted GPAs on a 4.0 scale are typically lower. Please remember, though, the admissions process evaluates your application holistically – it’s not entirely about numbers. Good luck!
