<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. That would be completely wrong.</p>
<p>You have to go back and refigure your entire gpa without the weight</p>
<p>unless your school is on a 5 pt scale. Then refigure A-4 B-3 and so on</p>
<p>I'm guessing you're on the scale where A+ = 4.333, A = 4.0, A- = 3.667, etc?</p>
<p>Basically (though different places calculate it different ways) the easiest way to put it on a 4.0 scale is to take your transcript and do the following:</p>
<p>Make all A (+/-) = 4.0
all B (+/-) = 3.0
all C (+/-) = 2.0
all D (+/-) = 1.0</p>
<p>After you've assigned the 1-4 value, add the values together and divide by the number of courses to calculate your GPA. For example, if I had 16 A's, 12 A-'s, and 6 C+'s, then my GPA would be: ((16 + 12) A's * 4.0 + 6 C's * 2.0)/ 34 courses = 3.65</p>
<p>One of our local high schools used to have a grading scale where the A+ was given a 4.33. When it went away from the A+ grade it used the following:</p>
<p>94-100 = A = 4.00
90- 93 = A- = 3.80
87- 89 = B+ = 3.33
84- 86 = B = 3.00
80- 83 = B- = 2.80
77- 79 = C+ = 2.33
74- 77 = C = 2.00
....</p>
<p>Some of the courses were given different earned credits. So to calculate the GPA, the school took the earned credits and mulitplied by the grade points. Summed all the grade points and then divided by the total credits....much like colleges and universities do.</p>
<p>S's university has a similar grading structure except an A- is a 3.67, B- is a 2.67, etc.</p>
<p>Am I missing something here? Is there a difference between a "4.33" scale and a 4.0 scale? If I were the OP, I would report his GPA as 4.0. Let the college figure out whether it wants to drop it a notch because he had one B+ that was cancelled out by two A+s (or whatever produced the 4.0, other than having no non-A grades).</p>
<p>Thank You, It sounds like the biggest difference between the 4.333 and 4.0 scale is an A+.</p>
<p>HI
I would call the colleges you are interested in to see how they calculate it, some give you extra points for honors and ap classes</p>
