<p>How do colleges look at GPAs? I looked in an information book and it said that in one college most people have a 3.9 GPA on a 4.0 scale. In my school GPAs are on a 5.5 scale (5.5=A+ 5.0=A etc..) I have a 5.1/5.5. Would I qualify for this school? How do colleges look at GPAs on a 5.5 scale? Are they converted into a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>it probably depends on the colleges, but yes, they would probably convert it so as to have a standard scale to use.</p>
<p>What would my GPA be then on a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>Probably, although I can't say for sure. However, converting it would not hurt you at all; it'd be proportional.</p>
