Trying to figure out an overall GPA
Ok, let's say you have a 3.867. You are going to get a C. How far will your GPA decrease?

Note, this is cumulative, not for the semester. Have taken about 150 credits.

1. Here's the formula:
If cb = the number of credits before the course was taken
and
ca = the number of credits that this course is worth,
then the new GPA should be:
(cb * 3.867 + ca * 2)/(cb + ca)
So, using cb = 150 and ca = 3 (assuming it was a three-credit course), I get
GPA = 3.83.

3. Awesome
Yes, it's a 3 credit course. This means I'll graduate Summa Cum Laude on Friday. w00t.

Thanks! :hi:

And don't ask why I got a C. It was a f'd up situation, and not really my fault.

2. How many credit hours is the C class
Edited on Tue May-26-09 01:05 PM by Juche
I'm going to assume 3 credit hours

150*3.867=580.05

580.05+6.0=586.05

586.05/(150+3)=3.83 CGPA

Not much really.
