Is it possible to raise my GPA to a 3.5 in one year?

Question

I currently have a high school GPA that is either a 3.2 or a 3.3. According to an online GPA calculator the correct answer is 3.3. At any rate, my SAT scores have made me eligible for a 100% scholarship if I can earn the specified community service hours and raise my cumulative GPA to 3.5.

My freshman year I earned two D's, one C, and one B in Algebra 1A and 1B. If I retake the courses I can eliminate those grades and replace them. Do you think by doing this and earning higher marks in general that I can raise my GPA to the desired figure?

Answer 1

If you bring the D and C up to an A it might be possible. However, it's going to be very close. Best of luck to you!

Answer 2

of course you could raise your GPA up to a 3.5+ in one year.

Answer 3

yes, its definitely possible, bring those 2 Ds up to an A can make a huge difference on your GPA.  If you have a 3.3 right now, you're really close to a 3.5, work hard and persevere! good luck.

Answer 4

EDIT:

you provided way to little information, so Ill assume your entering 12th grade

summary of possible gpas:

4classes/semester: 3.7563

6classes/semester: 3.6625

8classes/semester: 3.616

If I understand correctly, you can improve 4 grades, if for full credit you can recieve an additional 9 points on your gpa "score" rather than average

A=4

b=3

c=2

d=1

f=you know.....

anyways if you have a 3.3, you have around 79 total points. If you bring these four grades up to an A, you'll have an additional 9 points-plus the 8 classes youll take this year you can actually bring your GPA up to

(3.3 * 24 (the number of classes you'd have taken untill senior year on a block schedule)=79.2)

(79.2 + 9) where 9 is the points you can add if you fix your four grades for full credit

(89.2+32) where 32 is the number of gpa points for 8 classes passed with an A)

(121.2/32) where 32 is the number of classes taken total- you could get up to a possible:

3.7563

just dont slack off and ...well with a similar formula if you were taken 6 classes a semester.... you could get up to a

3.4125

is that right wtf?

3.6625 sorry, thats right

and finally 8 classes a semester would be:

3.616

So mathmatically its absolutley possible- so now its a question of will!

I will not calculate said number of Bs and Said number of As for your final year because I expect all As from you...yes thats right and Im not even asian.

this took me 20 minutes to figure out...so I should like get a best answer or something Im serious guys.....

anyways GOOD LUCK!

Btw, if you were taken 50 classes a semester you would have a 3.4975 so pretty much anything onward of 40 classes and your fked....with a u.

Answer 5

Yes, with a 3.2 or 3.3 you don't need to get even a 4.0 to get to a  3.5. I would reach for high goals, like a 3.7, because that is very achievable.
