<p>My friend had a 1040 SAT 1 score for verbal and math. he had a 3.3 gpa. he applies for business management as an EOP candidate. Does he have a chance?</p>
<p>is a 3.3 an 85?
whats an 85?</p>
<p>Could be tough year for those stats. All the Suny schools applications are up this year due to the economy, which will make it more difficult to get in.</p>
<p>an 85 is like a 3.0 (it is a B)</p>
<p>through EOP? i think he should be okay.</p>
<p>An 85 is a 3.4. On a 4 point scale you divide the number grade by 25. ie, if your average is 100 then divide by 25 = 4.0</p>
<p>Stephennn is right. An 85 is right in the middle of B range. A B is a 3.0</p>
<p>drama mama that is completely incorrect since an A doesn't signify a 100. it signifies 93-100</p>
<p>Its up for interpretation because its different everywhere</p>
<p>it's true that the range for an A changes but a 4.0 GPA does not mean that the person got a 100 in everything..... so you definitely can't just divide your numerical grade by a 25 and get your GPA. there's no interpretation there, it's just a fact.</p>
<p>Well, on my daughter's transcript she has a 96.55 and a 3.86 both listed. So that seems to be the way her school does it. (Do the math) I'm talking numbers here, not letters as far as GPA. She has a 3.86 GPA.
It seems like you either have letter grades and a point system or number grades and its point system, I don't think you can do all 3 together. In some high schools they use # grades and turn them into a point scale for GPA (like my daughter's HS) and some have letter grades and turn them into a point scale like you mentioned. My son's college (SUNY) does the letter grade converted to point system. And it does seem different.</p>
<p>SO THAT my dear, IS the interpretation.</p>
<p>that is messed up. a 96 should be a 4.0</p>
<p>in any standard.</p>
<p>the college will probably recalculate that as a 4.0 anyway.</p>
<p>and THAT MY DEAR IS THE INTERPRETATION</p>
<p>(my school does it the same way your daughters does it, but it is messed up. people with 4.0's obviously don't have 100 averages in everything......)</p>
<p>There ARE people with 100 averages and above. Grades can be weighted due to AP and Honor classes. Those are the people who deserve the 4.0. There is also 4.1 and above as well. If the college recalculates, I guess YAY for us!
By the way, I am talking HS here. Our HS weights grades.</p>
<p>i am talking UW, btw.</p>
<p>schools do crazy things when they weight grades (i've seen some schools that just add 15 points to your UW avg in an AP or honors class. while others only get a 1.05 multiplier)</p>
<p>(btw trust me, i know grades can go above 100. my weighted average this quarter was a 106.04)</p>
<p>My school just ads .5 to any AP/IB/UHS class :-/</p>
<p>My school is on the 100 pt scale and anyone that takes an honors/AP class gets additional 5 pts added on their final avg. in each class....it does not show up on the transcript but is instead used solely in calculating GPA and class rank. I thought that my school was very liberal in this area but I have heard of other high schools in my area adding as much as ten points.</p>
