Can someone verify that I'm calculating my future GPA correctly?
I am on the low A range in 3 of my classes with a guaranteed A in the 4th.
My school does it by GPA points, which is found by multiplying the units of the class x however many GPA points earned.
For example, an 'A' is 4 gpa points. But if its a 4 unit class, you'll get 16 points.
if it was a 1 unit class, you'd get 4.
a 3 is worth 3 points. So if I get an A in a 3 unit class thats 12 points. I hope that is a good explanation.
Anyways, for my question:
I have 175 GPA points with 50 units done.
so 175/50 = 3.5 which is what my transcript shows.
Right now, I'm in TWO 4 unit classes, and TWO three unit classes.
I will have a guaranteed A in a 4 unit class. That is 16 points.
But let's say I get B's in the other 3. That would mean the GPA points awarded for those would be 12, 9 and 9.
So all together I would get 16 + 12 + 9 + 9 for this semester, which is 46. Adding that to my points thus far, 175 + 46 = 221. Now to find the future GPA, I divide 221 by 60, since that is how many units i'll have completed.
That is 3.68.
So, would that be right? I feel like it is wrong, how would my GPA jump almost 2 points from just one semester? Or am I just not seeing something. I just want to be safe and know my GPA if shit hits the fan.
Please /sci/ im dying of stress

then get better grades or pick a different career path
nothing that measures your worth by grade alone is worth your time as a rational human being

I just wanted to verify that my calculations are correct. My grades are good. It is important for me to maintain a minimum gpa of 3.5 so UCI doesn't rescind my acceptance.

Your math must be wrong considering your average for that semester will be a 82% which on the 4.0 scale is a 3.28 which will bring your gpa down but I can't figure out what your grade is because I'm both drunk and your grading method is retarded. Just give me your total amount of hours you've completed before this semester.
Ex, you're taking two 4 hour classes and two 3 hour classes right now for a total of 14 hours.

you would have completed only 4+4+3+3=14 units.
so gpa = 221/64 = 3.45
