Nursing Cas Gpa Calculator – Loan calculator

NursingCAS GPA Calculator

Estimate your cumulative GPA as calculated by NursingCAS for your nursing school applications. NursingCAS typically recalculates your GPA based on all college-level coursework using a standardized 4.0 scale.

Credit Hours: Grade: A (4.0) A- (3.7) B+ (3.3) B (3.0) B- (2.7) C+ (2.3) C (2.0) C- (1.7) D+ (1.3) D (1.0) D- (0.7) F (0.0)

Understanding Your NursingCAS GPA

The NursingCAS application service standardizes all your college coursework grades to a common 4.0 scale, regardless of the grading system used by your individual institutions. This means that even if your university uses a different GPA scale, NursingCAS will convert your grades to their system. This calculator provides an estimate based on the most common conversion scale.

It's crucial to accurately input all your college-level courses, including those from community colleges, universities, and any transfer credits. NursingCAS calculates several GPAs, including:

Overall GPA: All college-level coursework.
Science GPA: Courses like Anatomy, Physiology, Microbiology, Chemistry, etc.
Prerequisite GPA: Specific courses required by the nursing programs you're applying to.

This calculator focuses on the overall cumulative GPA. Always refer to the official NursingCAS instructions and the specific requirements of the nursing programs you are applying to for the most accurate information.

How to Use This Calculator:

Enter Credit Hours: For each course, input the number of credit hours it was worth.
Select Grade: Choose the letter grade you received for that course from the dropdown menu.
Add More Courses: Click "Add Another Course" to include all your relevant college coursework.
Calculate: Click "Calculate NursingCAS GPA" to see your estimated GPA.

Example Calculation:

Let's say a student has the following grades:

Anatomy I: 4 Credit Hours, Grade A-
Physiology I: 4 Credit Hours, Grade B+
English Composition: 3 Credit Hours, Grade A
General Chemistry: 3 Credit Hours, Grade C+

Using the NursingCAS 4.0 scale:

Anatomy I: 4 credits * 3.7 (A-) = 14.8 quality points
Physiology I: 4 credits * 3.3 (B+) = 13.2 quality points
English Composition: 3 credits * 4.0 (A) = 12.0 quality points
General Chemistry: 3 credits * 2.3 (C+) = 6.9 quality points

Total Quality Points = 14.8 + 13.2 + 12.0 + 6.9 = 46.9

Total Credit Hours = 4 + 4 + 3 + 3 = 14

Estimated NursingCAS GPA = 46.9 / 14 = 3.35

This example demonstrates how the calculator processes each course to arrive at a cumulative GPA.
