do a simple math test
B+B+B+B+B (straight Bs)
3+3+3+3+3 / 5 = 3.0
(3.0 + 3.00 / 2 = 3.0 ~ nope, no increase in GPA.
However,
B+B+B+B+A (just one A)
3+3+3+3+4 / 5 = 3.2
(3.0 + 3.2) / 2 = 3.1 ~ just one A and we have an increase in GPA.
But, the same works the other way ~ just one C and the GPA falls back down.
B+B+B+B+C (just one C)
3+3+3+3+2 / 5 = 2.8
(3.0 + 2.8) /2 = 2.9 ~ just one C and the GPA fell .1 on 5 classes.

No. A B average is a 3.0, so if there is no change in the gpa, there will be no effect on the current gpa. If your current gpa would have been lower, then it would have risen the overall gpa, but it would have been higher, it would have lowered the overall gpa. In reality, its not a bad thing, because there wont be a difference. If you want to raise your overall gpa, then you need to get some A's.

only if they are honors courses or the like
B = 3.0 so they will not normally increase your average
