Clarification on how TESU calculates GPA

[bjcheung77]

Let's pretend you are applying to an MBA and it will use "cumulative averages" for each school or each year you have taken at a college or a university. Since you mentioned you have a 2.73 or 2.74, let's pretend the 42 credits you have are split with the following:  10 B's, 1 C+, 3 C's for 42 credits - if you calculate that, you have a current 2.74 GPA.  If you add the TESU GPA, you get this: 51 credits and a 2.90 GPA.  Here is the calculation: (3×4+3×4+3×3+42×2.74) / (3+3+3+42) = 2.90

To view this better (or picture it clearly) Here's a website: https://gpacalculator.net/college-gpa-calculator/ create 4 semesters, enter in the above info, 10 B's, 1 C+, 3C's (doesn't matter how you split it, just make sure you have the same amount listed, you then add the TESU info into the 4th and final semester.  I did 2 semesters with 5 B's each, and a crap semester of 1 C+ and 3 C's, then a 4th semester of your 2 A's and 1 B.  It also calculated a 2.90 GPA

If you have tuition assistance or reimbursement from work you may consider taking a course or two to bump up the GPA, you can take them at a community college or something and try to get an A on those two courses.  Otherwise, your application should be sufficient for a majority of the not really competitive schools, they will take an overall look at your application, not just GPA.  I would not try the for-profits unless it's a last resort, heck go for WGU before you try a for-profit.
