JS Object Oriented-Class and Getter

I kept getting an error saying my getter isn't returning a value. Please help. Thank you

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

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

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

const student = new Student(3.9);
console.log(Student.level);

Nvm...I got the answer to my question :)

Here's the solution in case anyone is looking:

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 > 60) {
        return 'Junior';
    } else if (this.credits > 30) {
        return 'Sophomore';
    } else {
        return 'Freshman';
    }
}

} const student = new Student(3.9); console.log(Student.level);

Hi Thanh,

Your first answer was very close to working. The issue is when students have credits of 61 or 31 -- there's no logic that covers those values since you used greater than. If you change it to "currentCredits >= 61" and "currentCredits >= 61" your code works fine.
