Frequently asked questions
Standard GPA caps the highest grade at 4.0 (so A and A+ both count as 4.0). Weighted GPA gives A+ a bonus, usually 4.3. Some high schools use a 5.0 weighted scale for AP/honours classes — that's a different system. Use whichever scale your school applies.
Multiply each course's grade points by its credit hours, sum those products, then divide by the total credit hours. Example: A (4.0) × 3 credits + B (3.0) × 4 credits = 12 + 12 = 24 points; 24 / 7 credits = 3.43 GPA.
Pass/fail courses don't count toward GPA — they have no grade points and no credit-hour weight in the calculation. Don't add them as rows. They show up on the transcript separately.
Most US universities consider 3.0 the threshold for academic standing, 3.5 the cutoff for competitive postgraduate applications, and 3.8+ the range for selective programs. UAE universities use the same scale and similar thresholds.
