Grade point is a method to evaluate academic performance, which is commonly used in most universities in China: grade point = score/10-5, credit grade point = credit * grade point = credit * (score/10-5) (if the score is above 90, it will be calculated as 90).

Some schools adopt different calculation methods, namely, subsection grade point method, which emphasizes grading grade points according to scores. As follows:

4-3*( 100-f)^2/ 1600

Average GPA: (course credit 1 * GPA+ course credit 2 * GPA+ course credit n* GPA)/ (course credit 1+ course credit 2+ course credit n)

Extended data:

Grade point is the embodiment of course learning quality, which fully reflects students' mastery of course knowledge. The credit system without grade point is incomplete. Therefore, many colleges and universities introduce GPA system to further improve the credit system, so that course credits and GPA can be merged into course credits GPA, and students' learning quality can be distinguished by calculating the average credit GPA.

The overall GPA is the scores of all learning subjects calculated by the above method, and the GPA of the last two years is the scores of all learning subjects calculated by the above method. In the United States, 90% of schools use the four-point GPA calculation method, and only 65,438+00% of schools will use the five-point GPA, that is, 5 points for A, 4 points for B, 3 points for C, 2 points for D and 65,438+0 points for F, so the minimum admission standards for these schools have been improved accordingly.

When applying, China students should provide their grades according to the GPA system adopted by the original school, and indicate which GPA system is adopted. The scores of most schools in China are quite strict, which is very unfavorable to students in China. Many students with excellent actual grades are not 3.0 after converting their grades into GPA. In some universities, the total average score of the top five students in the class may be below 82, so when applying for American universities, the GPA will be below 3.0, and you can only enter some third-and fourth-rate schools.

In order to eliminate this disadvantage, two methods can be adopted: one is to explain in the report card or recommendation letter and reading plan that this GPA is actually caused by strict grading standards; Second, when providing transcripts, list the ranking and percentage of such achievements in the whole class or department. Usually you can get more than c in undergraduate course. But graduate students must get at least a B.
