HELP! What is my GPA if I'm a college freshman?

If I'm going to barely start college this fall, what is my GPA?

Am I supposed to have one?

Do I use my GPA for high school?

Thank You

    GPA stands for Grade Point Average. Until you have grades, you don't have grade points, therefore you have no GPA. But if you really want a number, you have a 0.00 GPA, like every other freshman with no grades. If you get straight A's after the first term, then you'll have a 4.00 GPA because every A is usually worth 4 grade points, so your average must be 4.0 if you got all A's.

    Is someone asking for your GPA? If so, the answer is either "My high school GPA was ___" or "I haven't started college yet, so I don't have one."

    Technically, your college GPA is undefined right now and will be until your first term ends. You calculate your GPA by taking all the college-level classes you have completed (either at the school you are currently attending, which is the cumulative GPA, or at all colleges you've attended, which is the overall GPA; if you have earned grades at more than 1 college you need to be careful because not all of them count credits in the same way and you may need to convert credits earned in one system to credits as if they were earned in another) and in which you have earned a grade on the A-to-F scale, multiplying the number of credits each class is worth by the value on the 4-point scale of the grade earned, adding all those numbers up and dividing by the total number of credits. Since you don't have any credits, if you tried to do this right now you'd end up with 0/0, which is undefined.

    Your GPA is calculated once you finish your classes for each semester. Your high school GPA ends after high school.
