How do schools calculate GPA?


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

A very basic question: How do dental schools, say UT, calculate applicant's GPA? I had an international undergraduate education. Our system is percentage based and each one-semester-long course worth a credit ranging from 2 to 5.

 

Is there an instruction or calculator available?

 

Many thanks!

Translate every grade into a number. This may not be as simple as it seems. Some high schools roll all course grades into the GPA. Others may leave non academic courses like Health or Physical Education out of the GPA. Each high school can define its grade equivalency table differently. Consult your guidance counselor to be sure you know your school’s policy.
