How to calculate GPA for UofA?

Hey guys, I've been trying to project my academic standing at UofA and I was wondering if anyone knew how to calculate your GPA specifically for this school. I know some universities use different scales or criteria, and I just wanna be accurate. Thanks in advance!

Sure, happy to help! The University of Arizona (UofA) employs a 4.0 GPA scale, which is quite common among many U.S. colleges or universities.

Here are the basic steps to convert your grades into the GPA on a 4.0 scale:

1. Convert every grade you earned in all your classes into points. Generally, the conversion would be as follows: A = 4 points; B = 3 points; C = 2 points; D = 1 point; F = 0 points.

2. If your school uses pluses and minuses (such as B+ or B-), the scale would typically be A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, C+ = 2.3, and so forth.

3. Add all the grade points together.

4. Divide this total grade points by the number of classes you have taken. This is your GPA.

Do keep in mind that this is an unweighted GPA calculation. If your high school uses a weighted system for honors, AP or IB classes, you might need to convert or adjust those grades prior to the calculation. It's also good to note that UofA considers all of your grades from 9th-11th grade, as well as those in progress during the first semester of 12th grade. Remember also that classes you took in middle school but obtained high school credit for are not included in the calculation. Course repeats may be included.

For finer details and specifications, I advise you directly visit the University of Arizona's admission page or contact them directly to prevent any misunderstandings. And of course, use your high school guidance counselor as a resource – they usually have lots of experience with these calculations. Good luck and hope this helps!
