Repeating Pre-req Classes

I am repeating some of my pre reqs this summer at CC.

I contacted NIU, that said they take highes of one repeated class, and average all other repeated classes.

University of Evansville - Will take two repeated classes, ans take higher grade achieved

Western Kentucky Univ - highest grade of the repeated classes. , they are on PTCAS and average all attempts.

My question is how to calculate average of my repeated classes?

Average = (n1+n2+...nx)/x

This is high school algebra my friend.

For example: If you got a C+ (2.3) the first time and an A- (3.7) the second time, they average out to a B (3.0): (2.3+3.7)/2 = 6/2 = 3.0.

You will want to target your application to schools that allow for as many grade replacements as possible, rather than a lot of averaging. You will also want to get straight A's (ie. 4.0) in your retakes. Not really worth your time an money to retake if you're not going to get an A.

This gpa calculator helped me a lot in calculating my GPAs. If you want to average classes, put both classes in; if the school takes the highest grade, just put the repeated course. Very simple and easy tool.

I prefer to just use Excel. Then you can get things set up exactly the way you want them.

But if you have no clue how to use Excel then I'd just go with that link. 😀
