Getting an error message from treehouse "your conditional statement is returning the wrong student level"

I've looked over other students questions and can't seem to find out why my code won't work. Any help here is very much appreciated. I've seen other ways of coding this but I'd like to find out why mine isn't working the way I've attempted it. Thanks for any help!!

creating_getters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }
     stringGPA() {
          return this.gpa.toString();
      }


    get level() {
      if (this.credits > 90) {
        return "Senior"
      } else if (this.credits <= 90 && this.credits >= 61) {
        return "Junior"
      } else if (this.credits <= 60 && this.credits >= 31) {
        return "Sophmore"
      } else if (this.credits < 30) {
        return "Freshman"
      }
    }


}

const student = new Student(3.9);

Update: I caught the misspelling of "Sophomore" and fixed it. It still doesn't work and now says "Bummer: It looks like your getter method is not returning a value." I'm sure I'm missing something small but just can't catch it.

I was able to fix it. The two problems were:

  1. Misspelled "Sophomore"
  2. I needed to = sign in the last else if so it should be else if (this.credits <= 30)
