<p>I tried searching the forum for a while, got nothing. So here goes:
During admissions, to convert weighted GPA to unweighted, is 90 to 100 all 4.0 or is 95 to 100 4.0 and 90 to 94 3.7?
^random speculation; I have no idea. All/any information appreciated.</p>
<p>Columbia doesn't convert GPAs. What you have is what you have.</p>
<p>then how do they get past the confusion of different weighted scales of high schools across america?
like say i have lower grades than someone in another state or city even, but a higher gpa...how would they resolve the discrepancy?</p>
<p>admissions officers are divided by region, so they know whats good for your area/school.</p>

<p>Um, because the adcoms aren't morons off the street who drool on themselves.</p>
<p>90/100 is a 3.5 i believe. 95 average = 4.0?</p>
<p>90/100 = A- average = 3.7 GPA</p>
<p>at least at my school</p>
<p>haha, at my school, 90 = 3.0, 91 = 3.1, 92 = 3.2 and so on. so annoying! :P</p>
<p>Wait, this doesn't seem logical to me. Within the city that I live in, even individual schools have different systems for GPAs.</p>
<p>wow its completely different for my school. 100 is 4.2 in a regular class, but 100 is a 5.2 in an honors and 5.7 in an AP. AND the AP classes dont have pre-requisites because they are trying to minimize the achievement gap</p>
<p>Each school has its own GPA system; that's why adcoms are divided into regions and get to know the schools in their region.</p>
