Admission Index Calculator

Explanation

This calculator computes an Admission Index based on a student's GPA and SAT score. The GPA is weighted by a factor of 100 and added to the SAT score to provide the final index value, which could be used by educational institutions to evaluate candidates during the admission process.

Formula

\[ \text{Admission Index} = (\text{GPA} \times 100) + \text{SAT Score} \]

Example Calculation

If a student has a GPA of 3.8 and an SAT score of 1200, the Admission Index would be calculated as:

\[ \text{Admission Index} = (3.8 \times 100) + 1200 = 380 + 1200 = 1580 \]

Importance

The Admission Index is a simplified metric that combines academic performance (GPA) and standardized test scores (SAT) to provide a single value for assessing a student’s readiness and eligibility for college admissions.
