Based on a 4.0 scale a 2.5 GPA (Grade Point Average) is typically associated the letter grade of "C". The 2.5 is a ratio which was derived by a the total grade points attempted (typically the credit hours of the class) divide by a summation of the grade points achieved (passed). This is also known as an improper fraction depending on how well or poorly the student performed.
For example if you took four (4) three (3) credit hours class one is attempting twelve (12) grade points; each class independent there are a number of ways to 'achieve' a 2.5 GPA. For example:
History letter grade "A" --> 4 Grade Pts * 3 Hrs = 12
Biology letter grade "C" --> 2 Grade Pts * 3 Hrs = 06
Math letter grade "F" --> 0 Grade Pts * 3 Hrs = 00
English letter grade "A" --> 4 Grade Pts * 3 Hrs = 12
-----------------------------------------------------
TOTALS: Attempted 12 | Earned 30
-----------------------------------------------------
GPA = Attempted / Earned thus 30 / 12 = 2.5

There are no GPA requirements for admission to Binghamton University, however, here is the GPA information from their website... The middle 50% of admitted students have GPAs between 91-96 un-weighted. That means half of their accepted applicants have a 91-96. 25% have below a 91, and 25% have above a 96. In short, 75% of applicants have a 91 and above.
It means your not gonna graduate.
YES!
It means a D average in you class, or classes.
It is common for schools to grade using a 4.0 grade point scale. This means that if you have a 3.7 GPA, you probably get mostly A's and an occasional B.
It means your grade point average is 3.5
it means that you have grades that average about Cs
How is that possible? It means you are failing out of school.
I think it is mainly just a 25 ACT. The gpa has to be above 2 but 2.5 or above should be a guarantee
if your scale is on a 100 point scale just divide by 25 because 100/4 is 25 and you have a 3.62 GPA
You can probably transfer between colleges with a 2.6 GPA. This is a B/C average, which means you are probably passing everything.
A 2.87 cumulative GPA would be the equivalent of a C+ letter grade on a 4.0 scale.
