Converting My Percentages to a GPA

Applying to College
1

<p>Like I've said on a preceding post, I am from Canada.
My grades in the 11th grade are:
Math 11 Honours: 99 or 100% I don't know yet because I haven't received the final mark, but it is between these two
English 11 Honours: 84.8%
Socials: 91%
Accounting 11: 94%
Spanish 11: 94%
Foods 11: 91%
Physics 11: 96 or 97%, don't know yet, but it has to be between these two.
Chemistry 12: 96 or 97% don't know yet, but it has to be between these two.</p>

<p>What is my GPA? Do you calculate it based on taking the average of all my percentages and then assigning a 4.0 based on the fact that it is over 90%. Or do you give one 4.0 or 3.0 or whatever per course and then average it by the amount of classes. I also am very worried as to what happens to my English 11 Honours mark. Converting the percentages of a Canadian school to a American GPA, would they go by the standards of Canada where an A is starting from 86%, 80% in some cases, and even 85% in some cases, or will they go by the american standard that an A is a 90% and give me a 3.0 for the 84.8% in English. Thanks for helping me calculate my GPA guys. Btw I'm curious for my GPA most specifically for HYPS, and some other ivy league schools.</p>

<p>It really depends. At my school, an A is 93 and above. A B is 85 and above. And they round down. So an 84.8 would be an 84, which would be a C, which would be a 2.0.</p>

<p>Would stanford take my 84.8% in English 11 Honours which is a very high B in my school and give me a C, considering the fact that I’m above 90% in all my other classes? I don’t think they would be that brutal :stuck_out_tongue: I think the best thing to do is maybe just call the admissions office and ask</p>

<p>it really depends on how they convert, as unctarheels said every school is different. Some schools like mine(even though we do grade by letter grade) count anything from a 79.5 to 89.4 as a B and one could get a 59.5 in a class and still pass it with a D grade. So if it depends on the school it probably depends on the college.</p>
