<p>My high school has the 7 point system for grading, so that an A=95-100 and an A-=93-94, B+=91-92, etc. with an A=4.0 A-=3.7, etc. So my question is, would Georgetown recalculate my GPA based on the 10 point system?</p>
<p>what’s reported on the transcript? The letter, the number, or both? If you’re not sure, request see a copy of your transcript</p>
<p>I believe the letter is put on the transcript, but it also includes a letter about the school which has the grading system on it.</p>
<p>Although I have no insider knowledge or any information whatsoever, I imagine in that case they wouldn’t. The high school determines what is needed for an A, and that’s the criteria teachers base their decisions on. If it were me (and again, I don’t know one way or the other), I wouldn’t recalculate it if I were them. If your school determines what is “A” quality work, the college won’t second guess them.</p>
<p>Well, while I suppose I can see where you’re coming from, I really don’t think that that is necessarily the case. Our school has graduated one 4.0 student in the last 3 years, and we’re a reasonably competitive high school, whereas other schools on the ten-point system graduate 3 or 4 per year, something that suggests teachers may not compensate. Besides, I think high school teachers tend to think in numbers rather than letters, two teachers from two different schools may agree that a paper merits a 92, but that 92 could translate into an A at one school and a B at the other. But you may very well be right, I guess that’s just how I see it.</p>
