following formula, you have a good idea to find out where you are.  You, however,
are going to have to have the third parties such as MIC (e-mail address gpa@miccon.com)
to calculate and submit to the school.

B+ --> 3     B  --> 3     B- --> 3
C+ --> 2     C  --> 2     C- --> 2
Passed --> 1

The number of A+, A, A- together --> an
The number of B+, B, C- together --> bn
The number of C+, C, C- together --> cn
The number of passed             --> pn 

Your GPA = (4 x an + 3 x bn + 2 x cn + pn) / (an + bn + cn + pn)
