So for the CAS GPA calculator I'm suppose to put how many units I have for a certain grade type right? But there is a limit to 100 unit per letter grade...?? Which is a problem for me bc my special snowflake school (UCLA) used a quarter system. Yes I can convert, but I can easily end up with fractions once I do. And I just don't understand why there is a cap at 100 units when there are people who got straights A's in undergrad? Or those who double majored?

This is my breakdown:

A+ = 50.5 quarter units

A = 109.5 quarter units

A- = 15.0 quarter units

So luckily only the A+ doesn't divide cleanly for me, but I still think that it's weird to have a 100 unit cap on the calculator. Like, what if all the A+ I got were A's??? Then I'd have no way to use the calculator. But then again I suck at tech so plz lemme know if I used the tool wrong.

Also: Being able to input units ending in .5 fractions would be helpful.

    My school (UChicago) is also on a quarter (basically trimester) system so an option to input grades based on quarters would be great.
