Required average tells you the GPA you need across the future credits you entered.
Quality points still needed shows the total academic value you must add before the plan ends.
Best-case cumulative GPA helps you sanity-check whether the target is reachable at all.
Pick a target tied to a real outcome such as dean's list, transfer minimums, or scholarship renewal.
If the needed average is too high, increase the number of credits in your plan horizon instead of chasing one unrealistic semester.
Pair this result with course selection so your hardest classes do not all land in the same term.
