Confusion with GPA conversion?

<p>My high school grades on a 12.0 scale. I did some searching on CC, and it seems that basically no other school does this. So how would I convert it to a 4.0 scale? Common sense says to divide by 3, but I did some searching online and it had a different conversion, so I'm a little confused.</p>

<p>How would I convert a 12.0 scale to a 4.0 scale?</p>

<p>do you have A, B, C, D, F and # grades in ur classes? if so:</p>

<p>A = 100-90 = 4.0
B = 80-89 = 3.0
C = 71-79 = 2.0
D = 70 = 1.0
F = 69 or lower = 0.0</p>

<p>also, my school system does D's weird, if you haven't noticed. Add 1.0 for APs and 0.5 for honors to make a weighted GPA.</p>

<p>so B-s and B+s are given the same weight? that's interesting.</p>

<p>oh, and is this the standard way of calculating GPA?</p>

<p>With letter grades, yes. But once again, I don't know how other school's treat D's, cuz mine only makes a 70 a D.</p>

<p>and it sucks, but yea, as far as I know, B+ & B- are the same. At least, they are at my school, because we go by #s</p>

<p>huh? If A-s are the same as As in my school i would have a 4.0 UW GPA taking like 10 AP classes...but because they arent an A- is a 3.66, my GPA is only like 3.94ish</p>

<p>Do colleges make -s and +s the same?</p>

<p>u see that's the thing with GPAs, everyone does them differently. So no1 is going to give the same answer.</p>
