I think if he made straight A's then it would be possible. If you have all A's then he would have a 4.0 for that semester...add it to the 2.0 and divide by 2 and you get a 3.0. See college is so much different from my high school. We would get extra points by taking Honors and AP classes, whereas here in college, everything is the same across the board, and it doesn't matter if you are in Honors classes and that has taken some getting used to.

no, that only works if this was his first semester.... if he's a freshman...and he got a 2.0 from this previous semester....and gets a 4.0 this next semester...yeah, he can have a 3.0... but if he's a sophomore & up...it gets a lil' more complicated than that...u can't just have a 4.0 for a semester...that'll only bring u up some points, and not much, DEPENDING on how many classes the 4.0 is made of...and how many classes the 2.0 was made of...as well as some other things... so it just depends i guess....

Ooooooh ok. I see...thank you for clearing that up for me. I knew that it wasn't as simple as it sounded. Lol.
