<p>Any thoughts on this? I've been worried for some time now that my school is on the 100 point system. To colleges, wouldn't an average of a 93 look a lot worse than an average of an A or A-?</p>
<p>Does anyone know how colleges compare the two different scales?</p>
<p>Class rank.</p>
<p>What if it is a very small school? My dd goes to an all girls' boarding school. There will only be about 30, or less, in her graduating class.</p>
<p>A 93 is like a 3.7</p>
<p>Here's a standard GPA conversion scale: </p>
<p>GPA Percentile Letter Grade
4.0 95-100 A
3.9 94 A
3.8 93 A
3.7 92 A
3.6 91 A
3.5 90 A
3.4 89 B
3.3 88 B
3.2 87 B
3.1 86 B
3.0 85 B
2.9 84 B
2.8 83 B
2.7 82 B
2.6 81 B
2.5 80 B
2.4 79 C
2.3 78 C
2.2 77 C
2.1 76 C
2.0 75 C</p>
<p>They may also use standardized test scores to compare two people.</p>
<p>lucky</p>
<p>here it is 94-100 = A
90-93 A-
87-89 B+
84-86 B
80-83 B-</p>
<p>actually lol urs is much harder lol but harvard westlake = tough</p>
<p>So what would a percentage of 99.58 convert to? Would that be like a 4.2 or higher or what. Is this how it works: 95=4.0, 96=4.1, 97=4.2, 98=4.3, 99=4.4, 100= 4.5?</p>
<p>honestly i don't think it matters...your grades are all in the context of your school = class rank</p>
<p>class rank is more subjective than grades...at my school over 200 people take easy college-prepatory classes and about 40 people get perfect grades or so in em, but I'm one of just 10 people who take an AP class and my final GPA is a 94, but im ****ed because their class rank is higher than me even though I'm a much better student than them.</p>
<p>They might have you convert you 93s, 94s, etc. to the A-B-C-D-F scale.</p>
<p>The 4.0 Scale is something like this:</p>
<p>Each class is assigned a point value on the 4.0 scale and then all of the class grades are averaged for the cummulative G.P.A.</p>
<p>4.0 = 94-100 = A
3.7 = 90-93.9 = A-
3.3 = 87-89.9 = B+
3.0 = 83-86.9 = B
2.7 = 80-82.9 = B-
2.3 = 77-79.9 = C+
2.0 = 73-76.9 = C</p>
<p>So if you got the following grades</p>
<p>Calculus: A- = 3.7
Spanish: A = 4.0
Physics: A = 4.0
English: B+ = 3.3
History: A = 4.0
PE: A = 4.0</p>
<p>your GPA on the 4.0 scale is: 3.83</p>
<p>Also for AP classes some school weigh them by giving those classes an extra 1 point, so an A in APUSH would be 5.0 and a B in an ap class would be 4.0</p>

<p>My school is 4.3 for 97.5-100% :D. Unfortunately honors classes have no bump and AP classes have only a 0.5 bump :(</p>
<p>and you need convert class by class and not your overall GPA</p>
<p>Student #1 ... avg = 92 ... class breakdown
92, 88, 88, 96, 96 ... avg=92
grades A, B, B, A, A ... GPA = 3.6</p>
<p>Student #2 ... avg = 92 ... class breakdown
92, 92, 92, 92, 92 ... avg = 92
grades A, A, A, A, A ... GPA = 4.0</p>
<p>^that is interesting, knowing that you must do every class. I am interested because my school is on a 100 point system AND we do no have class ranking.</p>
<p>ok, a 92% at most schools would equal an A-, so the GPA would be 3.7</p>
<p>what the heck? my school doesn't even use 4.0 scale or a 100 point scale. we have our gpa out of 5.0. our supposed unweighted is out of 4.0 but there's not difference if you take an ap or any other class and get the same letter grade.</p>
