After seeing the "What are my chances?" "Will I have a chance if I get all A's my senior year?" threads, I thought I'd share this.
I created a simple and generic GPA calculator/planner. Follow the formula and plan your studies. It's just going to give you a ballpark, since no one can guarantee a certain GPA every semester. You can update everything as you go along. I've broken things down to quizzes and classes so I can keep track of how I am doing with every assignment. It really keeps you motivated (and disturbingly worried). If anyone wants a very detailed including individual courses and every assignment, I can provide my own as an example.
The example shows an individual (perhaps a junior in college) with a 3.1 GPA as of now. After doing very well during senior year, the person graduates with a 3.3 which makes dental school much more tangible, given that the person also gets pretty good DAT scores, EC and LORs. Hope this helps!
