New GPA = ((Current GPA x Total Credits Earned) + (GPA of New Courses x Credits of New Courses)) / (Total Credits Earned + Credits of New Courses)
Let's assume you have earned a total of 60 credits so far (this may vary depending on your specific situation). To raise your GPA to 2.8, you will need to earn an average GPA of 3.714 in your new courses. This means that for every additional credit you earn, you will need to achieve a grade that corresponds to a GPA of 3.714.
Here's a breakdown of the grades you may need to achieve in your new courses to reach a cumulative GPA of 2.8:
- For a 3-credit course:
* To achieve a GPA of 3.714, you would need to get a B+ (3.3) in the course.
- For a 4-credit course:
* To achieve a GPA of 3.714, you would need to get an A- (3.7) in the course.
- For a 5-credit course:
* To achieve a GPA of 3.714, you would need to get an A (4.0) in the course.
Keep in mind that these calculations are based on averages and may vary depending on your specific situation and the grading system used by your institution. You can adjust the calculations as needed to reflect your exact circumstances and course credits. Also note that some universities may have limitations on how much students can improve their GPA in a single term, so it's always best to consult with your academic advisor for personalized guidance.
