How do I bring up a 3.0 gpa?
EDIT 06/28/17: My answer applies primarily to undergraduate/graduate college level work, not high school. I do not know how difficult/possible it is to re-take high school courses for the sole purpose of improving HSGPA.—————————————————-I can’t believe no one has given you the most obvious answer.RETAKE courses that you did not achieve an A in.Most schools replace the lower grade with the higher grade in GPA calculation.Therefore, comments such as “get better grades” or “take easier classes” are only half the equation. Get better grades IN THE CLASSES that you have poor grades in, so that those grades are removed from your cumulative GPA calculation.For example, I had two B’s in undergrad (and if you’re wondering, no, todavía no puedo hablar español). It was not worth it for me to retake those two classes, since either way I would graduate Summa. HOWEVER, if it put me into Magna, you can bet your grandma’s checker’dy apron that I’d have retaken however many I needed to get my GPA back up to Summa.Taking easy classes will never delete, and replace, your bad grades. Retaking those classes, should (with the exception of a few universities).MORE IMPORTANTLY - it shows that you cared about your GPA enough to try again… it shows dedication… which will say a lot to graduate school admissions committees. (If that is your intention - which I assume it is, otherwise a 3.0 is still something to be proud of.)Best of luck,-R
Help! can i bring my GPA up to a 2.0?
(1.8 * 17 classes + 4.0 * 2 classes ) / (19 classes) = 2.03. So yes, if you get 2 A's and the classes are worth as much as the other classes you took, you will (just barely) have a 2.0.
Is it possible to bring a 3.9 GPA to a 4.0?
Unless your college offeres extra quality points (which I've never heard of) the answer is no. In order to have a 4.0 GPA, you must recieve all A's. Here's how you figure out GPA: A=4 points B=3 points C=2 points D=1 point F=0 points Add up all of your points and divide by the total number of grades.
I need to bring my GPA up to?
That depends on how many classes you took to get the 1.79. Here's how you figure it out. (1.79 * number of credits to get the 1.79 + 9 * 3.0) / (number of credits to get the 1.79 + 9 credits) = your best GPA with all B's from now on

Will AP classes bring up your GPA?
Short answer is yes, and here is a longer version: It depends on your school. Most schools have an unweighted GPA and a weighted GPA. Some schools grade on a 5.0 instead of 4.0 for AP course, some do that for both honors and AP courses, and some, like my son’s school, will grade every course the same way but add 0.0225 points per AP class to the combined unweighted GPA. Most schools use the weighted GPA to select their valedictorians and to determine class rank.Because each high school differs in how they calculate their GPAs, each college has its own way of converting your transcript into their own rating system. So it is hard to predict the effect of taking on each additional AP course. Some colleges will like to see their applicants take as many AP, IB, or honors courses they can, while some cap it off at certain number. So it is safe to say that taking more AP courses, provided that you can keep your grades up, will benefit you to a certain degree.The bottom line is that the colleges will be looking at the strength of your transcript that includes your UW GPA, difficulty of classes, whether you met the required course load, your grades in intended major, and your trend.So if you are worried about getting into your dream school, your first priority is to go to the school’s admissions website and find out what courses are required (4 years of math, 4 years of English, 2 years of foreign language, etc.).Challenge yourself without wearing yourself out. Do not bite off more than you can chew, especially during your fresh/soph years.
How hard it is to bring up your GPA junior year?
It depends on how low it is of course and how many courses you’ve taken and how many you are taking... But in general you will probably find you can do it fairly easily. By senior year though you will find it is hard to make a lot of advances. This is because one grade in senior year is balanced by three other grades in earlier years. You are fighting the weight of 3 times as many grades.For example if you have had three C’s in a subject and as a senior get an A that raises you from a 2.0 in that subject to a 2.5. If you have a 2.8 average and then get all A grades you would only raise your GPA to approximately a 3.1.OTOH if you had a 2.8 average in sophomore year and got all A’s for two years you’d be close to a 3.5So you are in a position to make a difference now.
How high can I bring my GPA up in my junior year if I ended the sophomore year with a 2.7 weighted GPA?
Weighted GPA's are meaningless, since all the colleges use unweighted averages to put their applicants on an even playing field. Assuming that 2.7 is really a 2.4, you could hypothetically bring that up to a 3.2 by graduation with all 4.0's from here on. I say hypothetically because a 2.4 student is a very different person from a 4.0 student. I recommend hiring a tutor for time management and study skills before it's too late.
