What is GPA?

Hello ,
Can any body let me know what is GPA? And How to find it? I am looking for Biotech program and it says a GPA of 3.25 is required.
Thanx

Re: What is GPA?

Grade point average. Its computed usually on a 4 point scale as follows: a= 4.0, a-=3.7, b+=3.3, b=3.0 and so on...

Graduate programs usually ask for a minimum of 3.0.
I found this table for % to GPA conversion for India.
60-100
A
4.00
55-59
B+
3.33
50-54
B
3.00
43-49
C+
2.33
35-42
C
2.00
0-34
F
0.00

Grades which fall at the high or low end of a bracket can be converted to gpa. For instance, a 62% can be viewed as an A- or 3.67; or a 48 or 48% might be viewed as a B- or 2.67 gpa. Since there are different scales of marking available in India , it is up to the evaluator to make the most accurate conversion of percentage to gpa.
