Hey everyone! Launching GradeCalcLab on August 14th, and wanted to share the story behind it before launch day.
I kept noticing the same problem with grade/GPA calculators online they give you a number, but not the context you actually need. A GPA calculator tells you your GPA, but not whether dropping a class puts your financial aid at risk. A retake calculator tells you your new GPA, but not that federal aid only covers one retake of a passed course.
So I built calculators that try to close that gap:
- A Grade Drop Calculator that checks full-time status, financial aid risk, and academic probation not just the GPA math
