One thing: all GPA algorithms are different from school to school. What is provided now is purely for reference. You must consult the school you are applying for.
Finally, add a sentence: As far as I know, American schools usually recalculate their GPA scores in their own way after receiving them!

Calculation method of grade point
Most universities in the United States have minimum GPA requirements for applicants, and those that fail to meet the minimum GPA requirements will not be considered. GPA is calculated by multiplying the scores of all subjects by the credits divided by grade, and then dividing by the total credits. Taking the percentage system as an example, 90 to 100 is A =4.0, 80 to 89 is B =3.0, 70 to 79 is C =2.0, 60 to 69 is D = 1.0, and below 60 is F =0. For example, a student's credits and grades in five courses are: A course 4 credits, grade 92(A), which should be scored 4*4= 16, B course 3 credits, grade 80(B), 3*3=9, C course 2 credits, grade 98(A), which should be scored 2 * 4. GPA of the above five items: GPA = [(4 * 4)+(3 * 3)+(2 * 4)+(6 * 2)+(3 * 3)]/(4+3+2+6+3) = 3.00.
The overall GPA is the scores of all the learning subjects calculated by the above method, and the GPA of the last two years is the scores of all the learning subjects calculated by the above method.
In the United States, 90% of schools' GPA calculation method is 4.00 scale, and 1% schools will adopt 5.00 scale. That is, grade A is 5, grade B is 4, grade C is 3, grade D is 2, and grade F is 1, so the minimum admission standards of 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. For our students, the scores of most schools in China are very strict, so many excellent students' GPA is less than 3.0, and the average score of the top five universities may be around 75. And some students, although the average score is 80, but with the above method, it is less than 3.0-it depends on the number of subjects with more than 90 points and subjects with less than 80 points. And in China, the method of calculating GPA is different. For example, university of international business and economics and Tsinghua University adopt the following conversion methods: 90-A, 80-90-B, 70-80-C ... However, Xiamen University,
In learning, China University of Science and Technology and other schools adopt another method: above 85 is 4.0, and above 75 is 3.0. 65 is 2.0 ... so some schools have higher GPA than others.

If you take three courses:
Course 1: 4 credits, and you got an A-
Course 2: 3 credits, you got a B-
Because of the 3: 6 credit, you got a C-
Your overall GPA is: (4 * 3.7+3 * 2.7+6 *1.7)/(4+3+6).
Peking university algorithm
I'm still preparing for the exam, which will take place in ten days. I haven't applied yet, so I may not know the details. To be on the safe side, you should ask prawns and students who have applied, but as far as I know, there are both algorithms. Moreover, you can choose an algorithm that is beneficial to you. When I was in New Oriental, the teacher said that if you were not sure, you should send me the score of 100% and let the school there calculate it for you according to their school's method, but in this case, it may not be good for you, because it may be lower. Below I posted the algorithm of Peking University, and I have seen others post it. You can refer to it

GPA, a problem worth discussing!
Sending station BBS handheld website (audi.com) (2001-7-27 8: 23: 25)
In fact, GPA now has many algorithms:
Standard algorithm: 90- 100A4.0.
80-89 years old B 3.0
70 to 79 degrees Celsius 2.0
60-69 D 1.0 should be required by most schools! ?
Improved algorithm: 85- 100 4.0
70-85 3.0
60-70 2.0
0-60 0, can this algorithm be used? You don't have to tell America about the algorithm, do you?
Standard algorithm: 90- 100
85-90 4.0
80-85 3.7
75-80 3.3
70-75 3
65-70 2.7
60-65 2.3 is not realistic, is it? Otherwise all the students in China will go abroad!
There is a website. Go and see for yourself.

About GPA
The English full name of GPA is grade point average, which means average grade point average. Most universities in the United States have minimum requirements for applicants' GPA, and those who fail to meet the minimum requirements will not be considered.
GPA is generally calculated on a 4-point scale, and the conversion method is shown in the following table:
Percent score, grade, score
90~ 100 A 4
80~89 B 3
70~79℃ 2
60~69 D 1
Below 60 degrees Fahrenheit
The standard calculation method of GPA is to multiply the weighted average of college grades by 4 and then divide it by 100. The more common method is to multiply the scores of all subjects by the sum of studies and then divide them by the total credits.
For example, students' credits and grades in five courses are:
Four credits for a course, 92 points (a);
Three credits for Course B, 80 points (b);
Two credits for Course C, 98 points (a);
Six credits in course D, 70 points (c);
E course has three credits, with 89 points (b).
The GPA of the above five results is:
The standard algorithm GPA = [(92 * 4+80 * 3+98 * 2+70 * 6+89 * 3) * 4]/[(4+3+2+6+3) *100] = 3.31.
Common algorithm GPA = (4 * 4+3 * 3+2 * 4+6 * 2+3 * 3)/(4+3+2+6+3) = 3.00.
In practice, American universities often use the total GPA and the average GPA in the last two years. 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 adopt a 4-point system (4.00-point system), and only 1% schools will adopt a 5-point system, that is, 5 points for A-level, 4 points for B-level, 3 points for C-level, 2 points for D-level, and F-level 1 point, so the minimum admission standards of 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.
