I'm just talking from previous years experience - but I don't think credit hours (i.e. 0.5 or 0.75 etc) actually count in the calculation...I thought it was just your actual grade on a 4.0 scale, and you enter 20 courses. When I submitted grad school grades (which are also totally different credit hours), it didn't take them into account. It just used my actual grade. 

Unless things changed or I'm terribly mistaken, I think your GPA would be calculated like I said above. So, you'd have a 3.95/4, and since Dal rounds up, your score would be a 4.0/4.0. 

You might want to check with admissions or something, but I'm 95% sure that's^ how it works!

^ this. 

That would likely be a 3.9-4.0 out of 4.0 which would be a 14/15 or a 15/15 on the application scoring.

 

Average this year was 3.9/4.0
