Howdy! I've been admitted to Rutgers for fall 2024. I've heard something about an internal grade calculator they use, but I'm not solid on the details. Can anyone fill me in on this? Does it help with predicting GPA or something else?
It seems like you're asking about the Rutgers grade calculator tool. While I can't give specifics on their internal systems, many universities have online grade calculator tools available for their students. These are typically used to estimate your end of semester GPA based on the grades you currently have in your courses.
You input the grade received (or the one you anticipate receiving) and the number of credit hours the course is worth. Most calculators can then give you a breakdown of what your GPA would be at the end of the term if you maintained these grades.
However, keep in mind that this is just an estimation and can't solely be relied upon for academic planning. Also, if Rutgers does have its own specific tool, it may function differently. You can probably find more accurate and detailed information on this by reaching out to your academic adviser at Rutgers once you start there. They should be able to guide you on how to utilize any resources that Rutgers has for calculating and predicting GPA.
