Am I Able To Raise My Cumulative Gpa

Is it possible to raise my cumulative gpa 1.7 to 3.0?

Let's say you have taken 38 credits with a 1.7 cumulative GPA and are planning on taking an additional 14 credits. Then if you get straight A's (4.0) next semester in those 14 credits, your GPA at the end of next semester will be

((38 * 1.7) + (14 * 4.0))/(38 + 14)
= (64.6 + 56)/52
= 120.6/52
which is just a tiny bit under 2.32

(Note that this your GPA would actually be higher if, because you repeated classes, your earlier grades were not figured into your new GPA.)

If you were to take 14 credits in the fall and 14 in the spring and get a 4.0 in each semester, your GPA at this time next year would be

((38 * 1.7) + (28 * 4.0))/(38 + 28)
= (64.6 + 112)/66
= 176.6/66
which, rounded (up -- and it was almost low enough to be rounded down), comes to 2.68

3 semesters of 14 credits and a 4.0 gets you

((38 * 1.7) + (42 * 4.0))/(38 + 42)
= (64.6 + 168)/80
= 232.6/80
which would get rounded up to 2.91

And after 4 semesters of 14 credits each and a semester GPA of 4.0 each time, you'd get almost exactly 3.07

Obviously if you have actually attempted fewer than 38 credits, your GPA would be a little higher than my calculations show; you may not be taking 14 credits for each of the next 3 semesters (the more credits you take each semester, *assuming that added credits don't mean lower grades*, the faster your GPA can go up), and it's possible that you won't earn 4.0's -- we just use them because that gives us the maximum GPA that is mathematically possible. But you can stick the correct values for credits and your estimate of your semester GPA into the equation in place of what I have there (38, 14/28/42, 4.0) and come up with more accurate forecasts. And as I said, if your school will stop counting the earlier grades in classes you've re-taken, you can remove those early grades when you are figuring out the number of credits and the cumulative GPA from the first set of completed parentheses, the values for classes you've already taken.

But it looks as if it's going to take a couple of years to get your GPA up to 3.0 before graduation (assuming that graduation takes about 120 credits). It's within your grasp, but it's not going to happen this semester. I'm sorry.

I hope that you have a successful and enjoyable fall semester, though. Good luck.

What do I need to get to raise my cumulative GPA?

a 4.137. I don't think it's possible

Can I raise my cumulative GPA from a 3.44 to a 3.5 senior year?

Sure, depending on how many credits you have to begin with and how many you are taking. Use a spreadsheet or a simple GPA calculator (like Learn how to improve GPA ) to test out some scenarios.But don’t spend too much time testing those scenarios. Better to examine your own classroom and study habits for weaknesses and then work to improve them: note-taking strategies, improving concentration and review, study groups, faculty office hours, and peer tutors will all help you in your pursuit of better mastery of the topics.

I have a cumulative GPA of 2.57 as a result of lack of effort. Is it still possible to pull up my grades?

Assuming you'll take just as many credit in the next 2 years as you did in the past two years, no. The best GPA you could hope for would be a 3.285, and that's only if you get all A's from now on. You would have to stay in college another 4 years and get straight A's for those 4 years to graduate with a 3.5.

Is it possible to raise my 1.4 GPA to a 2.0 GPA in the summer semester?

I didn't do so well my first semester of college, and in order to keep my financial aid so I can attend in fall this year I have to bring up my cumulative GPA to a 2.0 from a 1.4.. I don't want to have to go through the whole appeal process so I'm trying to reinstate myself. My problem is I am not sure if it is possible to bring it up from a 1.4 to a 2.0 in one semester. I originally was going to take 3 summer classes, but realized they are all really fast paced and I am not sure if I would be able to pass all 3, so I wanted to switch it to just 2, but I'm not sure I will be able to being my gpa enough with 2. All the classes are 3 credits.


Not sure if it matters or not but this is what my GPA and Cumulative GPA looks like now.
