Is the GPA score of American universities four or five?
The average GPA of American universities is 4 points.

The average credit grade point is to convert scores into grade points and then calculate them according to the credit weighted average score method. If it is above 90, it is 4 points; If it is 80 to 90, it is 3 points; If it is 70 to 80, it is 2 points; If it is 60 to 70, it is 1 minute; If it's below 60, it's 0. Generally, an average GPA above 3.7 is excellent, around 3.5 is good, around 2.5 is medium, and 1 is qualified.

Calculation method:

GPA =[ course 1* credits 1+ course 2* credits 2+ course 3* credits 4+...+ course n* credits n]/[ credits 1+ credits 2+ credits 3++...+credit]

For example, students' credits and grades in five courses are:

One course has four credits, with a score of 92 (A).

Course B has three credits, with 80 points (B).

Two credits in Course C with a grade of 98(A).

Course D has six credits and 70 points (C).

E course has three credits, with 89 points (b).

GPA of the above five items is: GPA = (4 * 4+3 * 3+2 * 4+6 * 2+3 * 3)/(4+3+2+6+3) = 3.00.

Requirements:

Scholarships and honorary titles in most schools have different threshold requirements for GPA, and it is basically hopeless for international students without 3.45GPA to apply for scholarships. Upon graduation, students who reach a certain GPA will be awarded the title of honorary graduate.

In the United States, the legitimacy of international students' F 1 visas is directly linked to GPA. Students with low GPA will face great risk of being rejected by the embassy when they renew their student visas the following year. Most American schools clearly stipulate that students with undergraduate GPA below 2.0 and graduate students below 3.0 will be ordered to drop out of school.

In American high schools, students whose GPA is lower than 2.0 usually enter the "academic probation" and will be dismissed immediately after the half-year probation period.

Hours:

It takes hours to calculate GPA, which is also called credits in China. Generally, domestic schools stipulate that a semester's course (except experiments and exercises) is 4 credits if there are 4 hours in a week. Credits can be found on the transcripts issued by the school.
