What is wrong with my if statement? Can else if statements be used in javascript?

And is there a simpler way to write this code

creating_getters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }
    get level() {
      if (this.credit > 90) {
        return 'Senior';
      } else if (this.credit < 90 && this.credit > 60) {
        return 'Junior';
      } else if (this.credit < 60 && this.credit > 30 ) {
        return 'Sophomore';
      } else {
         return 'Freshman';
      }
    }
    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }
}

const student = new Student(3.9);

when you call the level method from an instance of the class Student it will return his level like this let student1 = new Student(3 , 80); student1.level(); // will return 'Junior'
