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.
Most schools use the same procedures.
I'll explain using an example.
In a semester with five classes, say a student gets the following grades:
Calculus (5 hours) B
Science (4 hours) A
English (3 hours) A
Spanish (3 hours) C
Fitness (1 hour) A
multiply the # of hours by the numerical value of the grade (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) and then add those values. Divide that by the total number of hours.
In this case, it would be (5 X 3)+(4 X 4) + (4 X 3) + (2 X 3) + (4 X 1)
= 15+16+12+6+4 =53.
Divide 53/16 = 3.31
As was said before, the only way to sucessfully negate a 2.0 would be to score a 4.0 in the second semester of your freshman year.
In order to get that 2.76, they'd have to use this formula and divide it by your number of earned hours. Therefore, since we don't know how many hours the student has, we can't figure it out for you. But seriously, you'd be working for around three semesters with stellar grades.
