GPA Questions Answered
by Kelli Turpin
This blog post is in response to an anonymous comment on the blog a few days ago regarding GPA. I’ve edited the questions a bit and answered them a little more fully than the commenter probably thought I would.
Let’s start at the beginning. GPA stands for Grade Point Average. Your GPA tells anyone looking at your transcript how good your grades are. (You’ll notice I didn’t say “how good a student/person/employee you are. Your grades are a direct reflection of how well you absorb and remember specific information, not necessarily how much you know and definitely not how smart you are.)
