Why doesn't my code fulfill the requirements for the getter here?

Prompt: The getter method should return the level of a student, based on how many credits (this.credits) they have.

If student has more than 90 credits, they are a 'Senior'. If the student has 90 or fewer credits, but more than 60 (>= 61), they are a 'Junior'. If the student has 60 or fewer credits, but more than 30 (>= 31), they are a 'Sophomore'. If the student has 30 or fewer credits, they are a 'Freshman'.

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

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }


    get level() {
       if(this.credits <= 30) {
           return 'Freshmen';
        } else if((this.credits) >= 31 && (this.credits) <= 60) {
           return 'Sophomore';
        } else if((this.credits) >= 61 && (this.credits) <= 90) {
           return 'Junior';
        }  else if(this.credits > 90){
           return 'Senior'; 
        }
    }

}

const student = new Student(3.9);

The parentheses around "this.credits" are not needed, but they don't cause any trouble.

But you have "Freshmen" (with an "e") instead of "Freshman" (with an "a").

I missed the second "o" in sophomore. A good 20 minutes I can't get back for one letter lol.
