Hey, I'm interested in New Jersey Institute of Technology, but I'm having a bit of trouble understanding their GPA scale. Can anyone explain how to calculate it, or point me to a trusted GPA calculator for NJIT? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Understanding GPA scales can indeed be tricky. New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) operates on a 4.0 GPA scale, where A+ = 4.0, A = 4.0, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, and so on down to F = 0. They don't assign a numerical value for grades like W (Withdrew), I (Incomplete), P (Pass), and U (Unsatisfactory), as these grades do not affect the GPA calculation.
To calculate your GPA, you need to:
1. Assign each of your grades a value according to the 4.0 scale. For example, if you have an A in a class, that would be a 4.0; a B+ would be a 3.33, and so on.
2. Multiply each grade value by the number of credits the course is worth. For instance, if you have an A (which equals 4.0) in a 3-credit class, you would multiply 4.0 by 3, giving you 12.
3. Add up all of these values. This will give you the total grade points earned.
4. Divide the total grade points by the total number of credits you've taken. This will give you your GPA.
Remember, GPA might not be the only factor affecting your admission to NJIT, make sure also to prepare compelling application materials such as a personal statement and recommendation letters. And of course, considering your interest and potential major for your course of study at NJIT is essential too.
