Excel
Wait, that's one.
shook33 said:So amcas doesnt figure it out for you based upon what you enter? There is no place on the app that asks you for it right?

Just because you can calculate something with elementary mathematics doesn't mean (hah, pun) it belongs to basic arithmetic. I could calculate an FFT (well discrete anyway) using elementary mathematics, but it is still considered a signal processing calculation. An average is a part of the field of statistics as MiesVanDerMom said, though it may be trivial to calculate.Dr.TobiasFünke said:for what?? GPA calculation is solely arithmetic.
baylormed said:I used the tables given on AMCAS help section to do it. My school gives +'s, but not -'s, for example, so for every B+ I used a 3.3 value instead of a 3.5 (the value assigned in my schoo). I had already calculated my BCMP and my Total, however, when I was processed, I was off by .04 in both. So I would just wait until you are verified to get it, otherwise you might end up submitting the wrong gpa in secondaries.
Mine went up from what I had, so I'm not complaining, but wait until you are verified first to check it. 😍
