UWCC Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi guys! I've been lurking these forums for about a year now, finally figured I'd make an account. So, I just finished typing up my grades into the online transcript form for my Dal application (as well as sent my transcripts off in the mail)... Quick question because I thought I read somewhere that 0.05 --> gets rounded up: My overall GPA is 3.95 (averaged among the years I am using for the calculation), but it's showing up to be rounded down, to 3.9. Is this what the calculation was like for others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaik Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 If you have a 3.95xxxx, I believe you’ll be rounded to a 4.0 If you have 3.94xxxx, you’ll be rounded to a 3.9 Are you calculating it by averaging the total gpa of each year, or by adding every class up and then dividing by the # of credit hours?

UWCC Posted June 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 Anaik - Yes, what you're saying makes sense. My raw score overall GPA without any rounding is between 3.90 and 3.95 (adding up and dividing by # of credit hours), so I initially assumed I'd be rounded down to 3.9. One of my years is >3.85, but below 3.9, and the other year is >3.95, so I saw that those two individually get rounded up to 3.9 and 4.0. Makes sense. But, in this older thread, it looks like someone called admissions and confirmed that option 2 that the OP put forward is the way that GPA is calculated, so this was the source of my confusion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hartk48 Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 The application form did the same thing for me.. a 3.9 and 4.0 was rounded down to 3.9. If you have two years of 4.0 it will raise it up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
