About this calculator
To raise your cumulative GPA from where you are to where you want to be, you need a specific GPA this semester. The math: total quality points required at the end ÷ new total credits, minus what you already have. Sometimes the answer is > 4.0 (impossible) — meaning the target cum GPA isn't reachable this semester alone.
Frequently asked
Your target isn't reachable in one semester. You'd need multiple semesters of high GPA.
