Does it make sense to calculate GPA this way?

<p>Our school only uses a percentage system for grades. On our transcript it will list a grade like 95.76. For some scholarships, you must give your GPA on a 4.0 scale. My friend asked our GC about it, and she said to just divide the listed GPA by 25, and there it is. I was completely shocked she said this. I had always used the A=4.0, B=3.0... scale. </p>

<p>It doesn't really make sense either. When a scholarship asks for your GPA on a 4.0 scale, doesn't it mean "unweighted"? If I divided my GPA by 25, it would be >4.0 since we have some weighted (+5) courses.</p>

<p>What the GC said isn't stated anywhere, and the only official GPA is the weighted percentage system.</p>

<p>It should be unweighted. Most schools use cutoffs of something like 90 or 93% for an A, and so on for other grades.</p>
