Question about GPA

    Hey! I'm an Arts student in UCD currently on Erasmus.
    Last year I got a GPA of 3.32. I didn't apply myself, and didn't do any coursework.
    My question is whether it would be feasible to raise my GPA from a 3.32 to a 3.68 (or first class honours, I think it is) in two semesters.
    Any advice appreciated, thanks!

    Ok... so if you're on Erasmus, I'm assuming you're between between 2nd and 3rd year, so the 3.32 was from 2nd year.
    And in Arts, 2nd and 3rd year are the ones that count...

    So if you want to get a 1:1 GPA, then you need to have an average of 2nd and 3rd year above 3.68.
    The total GPA for the 2 years combined so would be 7.36 or higher.
    Last year you got 3.32. So if you want to get a 1:1 overall, you will need a GPA of 4.04 in 3rd year.

    This is pretty much the equivalent of getting 9 A grades and 3 A+ grades. Or 6 A+ grades and 6 B- grades. There's loads of combinations.
    So in answer to your question, it'd be feasible, but fairly difficult!
