Problem Calculating GPA

[FirstBornAlbratross]

Hey all, I have created a simple program to try to convert letter grades into a GPA score, but my program calculations are a bit off.

user_grades = []

grades = str(input("Enter a grade: ('q' to end.)"))
user_grades.append(grades)

while grades != 'q':
    grades = str(input("Enter a grade: ('q' to end.)"))
    user_grades.append(grades)
else:
    user_grades.pop()
    print(f"{user_grades}")
    
total = 0

for grade in user_grades:
    if "A+" in user_grades:
        total += 4.0
    elif "A" in user_grades:
        total += 4.0
    elif "A-" in user_grades:
        total += 3.7
    elif "B+" in user_grades:
        total += 3.3
    elif "B" in user_grades:
        total += 3
    elif "B-" in user_grades:
        total += 2.7
    elif "C+" in user_grades:
        total += 2.3
    elif "C" in user_grades:
        total += 2.0
    elif "C-" in user_grades:
        total += 1.7
    elif "D+" in user_grades:
        total += 1.3
    elif "D" in user_grades:
        total += 1.0
    elif "F" in user_grades:
        total += 0
    print(f"{total}")

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
