<p>My Hs has GPA's on a 4.333 scale and most scholarships require me to report my GPA in terms of the 4.0 Scale. To do this, is it just a ratio? I have a 4.0 which is eqivalent to an A avergae at my HS(not an A+ average, that is equivalent to 4.333) Ex. 4.0 on 4.333 scale is a .923 to 1 ratio. So converted, is my GPA a 3.692 on a 4.0 scale as this is also a .923 to 1 ratio?</p>
<p>Thanks Alot.</p>
<p>no. what you are doing is not correct</p>
<p>To convert to a 4.0 scale, there are two ways:</p>
<p>Way number 1:
For every class you got an A in, give yourself 4 points.
For every class you got an B in, give yourself 3 points.
For every class you got an C in, give yourself 2 points.
For every class you got an D in, give yourself 1 points.
For every class you got an F in, give yourself 0 points.
Now divide the total number of points by the total number of classes you have taken to get your overall GPA.</p>
<p>Way number 2:
For every class you got an A or A+ in, give yourself 4 points.
For every class you got an A- in, give yourself 3.67 points.
For every class you got an B+ in, give yourself 3.33 points.
For every class you got an B in, give yourself 3.00 points.
For every class you got an B- in, give yourself 2.67 points.
For every class you got an C+ in, give yourself 2.33 points.
For every class you got an C in, give yourself 1.00 points.
For every class you got an C- in, give yourself 1.67 points.
For every class you got an D+ in, give yourself 1.33 points.
For every class you got an D in, give yourself 1.00 point.
For every class you got an D- in, give yourself 0.67 points.
For every class you got an F in, give yourself 0.33 points.
Now divide the total number of points by the total number of classes you have taken to get your overall GPA.</p>
<p>Both are ways schools calculate student GPAs, although I'm sure the second one would be more legit because it is what your school seems to use (with the exception that an A+ is not rewarded with a higher number of points than an A - [4 points]).</p>
<p>Thank you, however, how do you know this?</p>
<p>Actually, there are many different values that schools assign to A, A-, B+, B, etc. The above formula is not the only one that is used even on a four point scale.</p>
<p>You will get a lot more answers to this if you post it in the parents's forum instead on the financial aid section. In addition, there have been a number of recent threads addressing this same topic.</p>
<p>It can vary a lot. Our local high school does not do any + or - grades so an A is a 4, B is a 3, C is a 2, D is a 1 (except for core classes where a D is fail so is a 0), F is a 0.</p>
