1 meaning of GPAs

Practice

  1. 1
    noun
    Plural of GPA.

    The scholarship committee ranked applicants by their GPAs.

    Rising GPAs across the department suggested grade inflation.

    Note

    A plural formed the plain way initialisms take: a lowercase s and no apostrophe, so GPAs, not GPA's. It belongs to the countable use, where each student has a GPA and a whole cohort has GPAs. The uncountable use stays singular (GPA alone decided the shortlist). The same spelling can also pluralize the UK initialism for GMP payment age, and context usually settles which one is meant.
