Calculus I weighted points

grade points × credits

4.0 × 4

= 16.0

A = 4.0 pts on the 4.0 scale · 4-credit course

English 101 weighted points

grade points × credits

3.3 × 3

= 9.9

B+ = 3.3 pts on the 4.0 scale · 3-credit course

Chemistry weighted points

grade points × credits

3.0 × 4

= 12.0

B = 3.0 pts on the 4.0 scale · 4-credit course

History weighted points

grade points × credits

3.7 × 3

= 11.1

A- = 3.7 pts on the 4.0 scale · 3-credit course

Total weighted points

Σ (grade points × credits)

16.0 + 9.9 + 12.0 + 11.1

= 49.0

GPA

total weighted points ÷ total credits

49.0 ÷ 14

= 3.50

≥ 3.5 — Honor Roll! Typically required for Dean's List, scholarships, and grad school competitive range.

4.0 GPA scale — standard U.S. college grading (A=4.0, A−=3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B−=2.7, C+=2.3...)

Impact: raise Chemistry one grade step (e.g. B→B+)

Δ GPA = 0.3 × course credits ÷ total credits

0.3 × 4 ÷ 14

= +0.086 GPA points → 3.59

One letter step = 0.3 grade points. The heavier the course, the more it moves your GPA.

Key insight

Your 3.50 GPA across 14 credits meets Honor Roll (≥ 3.5). The weighted formula rewards high-credit A's more than A's in 1-credit electives — the course weight column above shows exactly where each grade lands.
