Letter Grade Equivalent of a 3.5 GPA

Hi all! I was wondering, what's the letter grade equivalent of a 3.5 GPA? I'm trying to gain a deeper understanding of the US grading system.

Answer: A GPA of 3.5 in the U.S. education system typically equates to an "A-" average. Here's a rough grade point conversion for you:

- A+ or A = 4.0

- A- = 3.7

- B+ = 3.3

- B = 3.0

- B- = 2.7

- C+ = 2.3

- C = 2.0

- C- = 1.7

- D+ = 1.3

- D = 1.0

While this is a standard guideline, it's important to note that GPA scales can sometimes vary by school or institution. Therefore, it's always important to confirm the specifics with the particular school or educational system you're referring to.
