Understanding GPA
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is a standardized number representing the average value of the final grades earned in your courses. It serves as a primary metric for academic success used by universities, scholarship committees, and employers to assess a student's performance over time. Most US high schools and colleges use a 4.0 scale, where an 'A' is worth 4.0 and an 'F' is worth 0.

Pro Tips
Credit Weight Matters: A grade in a 4-credit course affects your GPA more than a grade in a 2-credit course.
Consistency is Key: It's easier to maintain a high GPA early than to recover a low one later.
Check Scaling: Some institutions use '+' or '-' (like A- = 3.7), while others only use flat letters (A = 4.0).

Fun Facts
"Harvard University used a scale of 1 to 100 until 1883, when they switched to the A-B-C-D-F system."
"The 'F' grade stands for 'Failed', but there's rarely an 'E' grade in the standard US system."
"A 4.0 GPA doesn't guarantee admission; top schools look for 'uncommon curiosity' beyond just grades."
