A tool designed to estimate a student’s grade point average specifically based on Georgetown University’s grading system. It allows prospective or current students to project their potential GPA by inputting anticipated grades for courses. For example, a student might enter an anticipated ‘A-‘ in a 3-credit course and a ‘B+’ in a 4-credit course to see the resulting GPA projection.
This calculation method offers value by providing a clear understanding of how different grades impact overall academic standing. Its historical context lies in the need for students to easily understand and manage their academic progress within the university’s specific grading framework. It assists in informed decision-making regarding course load and academic goals, enabling proactive management of academic performance.
