This result shows that all students choose the top 50 institutions. If the GPA is greater than 3.7, American universities within Top50 can be considered when applying for studying in the United States. However, a good grade point can only be said to be one of the conditions for applying for a prestigious school. You also need a good TOEFL SAT score and a rich background in extracurricular activities.

Yale university interviewer once said: "American universities attach great importance to what activities students take part in after class." Students with GPA above 3.7 can take the top 50 American famous schools as the sprint direction, and also pay attention to the cultivation and progress of their own soft power.

2. The GPA score of the "positive party" is 3.0-3.7.

The average scores of most students are within this range. Students are advised to choose institutions with GPA of 3.0-3.7 from TOP 50 to TOP 100. When applying for studying in the United States, they should consider that the ranking of American universities is within 100, and the probability of successful application is relatively high. If you want to apply for a prestigious university around Top50, it is suggested that such students start academic research in their sophomore year, and highlight their personal abilities through academic papers or activities to make up for the lack of GPA. If students are excellent in other aspects, they may also successfully apply to top30 institutions.

3. The GPA score of "minority" is lower than 3.0.

Students are advised to choose institutions with the top ranking of 100 to apply for studying in the United States, but students with GPA below 3 are advised to apply for American universities with the ranking of 100. It is unlikely that you want to apply to an American school in TOP50, unless you have a good reason to explain what you really did in your professional field, which affected your score.

Of course, it does not mean that students who apply for American universities with low GPA scores have no chance to apply for prestigious schools. If they want to apply for a good school with a low GPA score, they should improve their software, such as application materials, because American universities admit students not only by grades.

How to make up for the lack of GPA in studying in the United States

Many schools have very strict grades. If your GPA is at a disadvantage, you can eliminate these unfavorable factors in the following two ways: first, in the report card or recommendation letter and reading plan, it is explained that the current GPA score is low, which is actually caused by the strict grading standards; Secondly, when providing transcripts, list the ranking and percentage of such achievements in the whole class or department. American universities like to see students' GPA increase year by year. If a student's academic performance is average at first, but it has been significantly improved through hard work, this kind of student is also applying for studying in the United States, which is easy to be concerned by famous American schools.

How to calculate GPA scores when studying in the United States?

The calculation of GPA is generally the GPA of each course multiplied by the credits, and then divided by the total credits to get the average score. The most common way to set scores in colleges and universities in China is five-point system or four-point system, and the specific conversion method varies according to the regulations of each school. For the four-point system, 90 points or more in the 100 scale can be regarded as 4 points, 3 points or more than 80 points, 2 points or more than 70 points, and 60 points or more 1 point; Five into five divided by four, four into three, three into two, binary 1.

When applying for a prestigious American school, GPA is always the first. American universities pay special attention to students' GPA, which is the average score of students during their previous studies. Academic performance is generally standard. The GPA in the United States is 4 points, that is, A=4, B=3, C=2, D= 1, and the accuracy of GPA often reaches 1 to two decimal places, such as 3.0 and 3.45.

The relationship between GPA and scholarships for studying in the United States

American university scholarship application is closely related to GPA. Whether you are a high school student or an undergraduate, if you want to get an American university scholarship, your GPA should be no less than 80. It is best for students to prepare from the first year of high school or freshman year. Some majors have high difficulty coefficient, so it is difficult to meet this standard, but students should try their best to prepare. Of course, in addition to GPA, standardized test scores such as TOEFL, GRE and GMAT are also an important part of applying for scholarships.

Because the algorithm of GPA is very complicated, it is obtained by dividing the sum of the products of GPA and the credits of different types of courses such as papers or research projects, professional compulsory courses, professional elective courses, public compulsory courses and public elective courses by the total credits. And the relevant regulations of each school are different. Therefore, it is suggested that students must refer to the relevant regulations of the school accurately when calculating GPA.
