<p>My school only uses the 100 point scale, and since all of the statistics for College Admissions uses 4.0, I'd like to know how the scale works.</p>
<p>I saw that A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, and so forth. Is it really that simple? On the 100 scale, 90->100 = A. Does that mean that a person with six 90s will have the same 4.0 GPA as someone with six 99s?</p>
<p>Adcoms don't use hard formulas to accept students, so it doesn't really matter. And because they don't neither can you convert precisely. Anyway, I think As, Bs, etc are given depending on percentile (tho I'm not sure..maybe someone should clear it up) .for example top 5% students will get A, the following 10% B, etc, while on a 100 point scale, if you get 80 right answers out of 100 questions, your final grade is 80, no matter what other students got.</p>
<p>My school uses the % system as well. My GPA is 98.1 or something out of 100, and I'm guessing my counselor put 98 on the report he has to write.</p>
<p>My school uses the 4.0 system as well, however, the point breakdown per grade is as follows:<br>
A+: 4.3
A: 4.0
A-: 3.67
B+:3.3
B:3
B-:2.67
C+:2.3
...etc.</p>
<p>If you go through your transcript you can calculate your GPA by adding up and averaging these numbers (being sure to weight appropriately for credit).</p>
<p>oh also: percentage wise, it breaks down to: 97-100 = A+, 93-96= A, 90-92= A-. Drop the 90 to an 80, 70 etc. and the plus/minus system remains the same for each letter.</p>
<p>again, this is just my school, although I think that it's a pretty standard system</p>
<p>My school is indeed A-4, B-3, and C-2. So as of right now, 6 90s is as good as 6 99s.</p>
<p>My school uses a 100 point system, but weights classes based on the following scale:</p>
<p>Religion, Health, and Art: The grade you get is the grade you get</p>
<p>Non-Honors/Non-AP Classes: Your grade X 1.02 = Weighted Avg</p>
<p>Honors Classes: Your grade X 1.04 = Weighted Avg</p>
<p>AP and Scholars Program Classes: Your grade X 1.06 = Weighted Avg</p>
<p>BC Calc (since it is so hard at my school): Your grade X 1.08 = Weighted Avg</p>
<p>My avg is about 96.4 and the highest avg in the school is about 103.6.</p>
<p>Hepstar</p>
<p>your school weights non hns and non AP classes?</p>
<p>I go to the same school as hepstar, so I could answer the question and the answer is yes, but its only because the academic work in our school even in regular classes is a little bit extra so....</p>
<p>The admission officers will look at the transcripts and see what your base grade was in each class. They do this because at some schools a student could have a 5.0 weighted average and have all unweighted 93's for example, and another student at another school can have all unweighted 93's but that school grades on a 100 point scale, and that student could have an unweighted 93, but a weighted 98 for example, and the second student would appear to have graduated with less than a 4.0, while the other student at the other school would appear to have a higher average with the 5.0, when in fact the students did the same.</p>
<p>Does anyone's school give more weight to IB than AP?
Our neighbor schools do, but our school gives equal weight to both (1.06 on a 100pt scale).</p>
<p>I have attended 3 High schools, 2 in Cali and 1 in texas. Cali uses ABCD with A=4 b=3 and so on. but texas uses the 0-100 and then weight the GPA for regular, honors, AP classes. I got screwed when they transferred my grades over because some of my 100's which were "A's" in Cali, got put in as 95's. It made a big difference. but i think colleges make the ABCD 4321 policy so its standardized cuz tons of schools do diff systems.</p>
<p>My school uses the 4.0 scale, but I think to convert from the 100 scale to the 4.0 scale, you multiply your gpa by 4/100.</p>
