<p>I haven't received final grades for this quarter but I am already anxious. I really don't know how to calculate for GPA because i know UW has a different grading system. Can someone help me out? Thanks.</p>
<p>On catalyst it says that my overall grade is a 73%.. Does that mean I will have a GPA (for this class only) of around 1.0??</p>
<p>I would also appreciate if someone explains to me how the UW grading system works. Thanks!</p>
<p>A 73% is a 2.0</p>

<p>Is that provided link by ICanDivideByZero apply to all UW classes? Or is it strictly for the mythology class linked at the bottom of the page?? Thanks</p>
<p>It is slightly different depending on the class. You’ll have to check with your professors. My bad! I meant to provide it as just a reference! Although the scale is VERY similar for each class (usually).</p>
<p>Yeah, it differs from class to class</p>
<p>pretty much every dept/class has a different grade scale, but the one linked is pretty standard if your prof hasn’t specified a different one.</p>
<p>It does differ quite a bit from class to class because it usually depends on the class median or average. My girlfriend averaged ~85% overall in a course this past quarter and received a 2.6, while I averaged about the same in a different course and got a 3.8. Class average is everything, so make sure you try your best to stay ahead of the curve!</p>
