Currently, I am at ontario, canada. My average is 92, I am just wondering what the GPA it converts to, 3.9 or 4.0?
Hmmm. In the US a 92 would be an A- which is a 3.7. But let others answer because I am not sure if I understand this properly.
Simple math, you know. Surprises me hs kids ask this. It converts to 3.68 - 3.7.
92 isn’t A- in all school districts. But yes, a low A.
For admissions purposes, 90-100 can be seen as an A, unless your school report shows different. Eg, if they say 95-100 is excellent and 90-95 is just high average.
Grading systems can vary by HS. Your HS will send a school profile describing your HS grading system along with your transcript so your grades will be reviewed in the proper context.
In the meantime this is probably as good of a general guide as any. http://www.collegeboard.com/html/academicTracker-howtoconvert.html
It seems “93 and up” is GPA 4.0, “92” can only be counted as GPA 3.7. I am taking the IB program, there maybe something special for weighted GPA, but 92 should be converted to 3.7 for unweighted GPA.
I were wish it can be 4.0. One less point, my college dream… 
Thanks for the advice!
My kids school last year 93 was the lowest A so a 4 for the unweighted 4.0 scale. This year it is a 90. Then comparing the crazy weighted systems is even worse.
You could contact the specific schools to see what the use to convert. I have seen others post they did this.
In my school district you have to calculate each class to get the 4.0 scale. A 90 to 100 is a 4.0. 80 to 89 3.0 etc.
I found this but have no idea of reliability

This is not true and I’ve pointed this out before. By this logic, a 96% average would be 3.84, whereas if all of your grades were 96% (which is a 96 average just as much as several 100s and an 85) you’d actually have a 4.0. It’s not that simple, it depends on each individual grade, and we can really stop being condescending when students don’t know how to do it.
Edited to add: not trying to be super snarky, I just see this misinformation all the time, even from the same people after I point out that it’s not true. If OP wants an accurate GPA conversion they have to convert each percentage grade to a letter grade individually. It just doesn’t work otherwise.

this is official converation table, berkeley site 
enjoy 
anything 90%+ is 4.0, this applies to non american schools tho, where maximum pooint is either 10 or 100%
you have 4.0 congrats
I am at high school now. The berkeley site is for college students who want to be graduate students, isn’t it? Just want to make sure I am setting the right expectation for myself.
Thanks for the congrats, I do want the 3 points of GPA!
@rosech doesnt matter ,its same scale , same principles doesnt matter if its highschool,bachelors or masters.
Again, I say contact the college admissions. As I said, my daughter’s state gpa is calculated completely different from the 4.0. all the schools we have visited have said the don’t really use the gpa for admissions decisions because there is too much variance in the way they are calculated - they want to see how rigorous your schedule and how you do in the individual classes. We just found out one of the schools we didn’t visit converts everyone’s grades to a system I hadn’t seen before. And this is a college in our own state.
I agree with @happy1 , your high school will supply an explanation of how your high school grades for use by the colleges you apply to. There are many versions of GPA calculation out there, one answer doesn’t apply to all. My children went to different high schools, at one 94-100 was a 4.0, 90-93 was a 3.75, 87-89 a 3.5…at the other 93-100 was a 4.0, 90-92 was a 3.67 and 87-89 was a 3.33!
Our school (which is on a 100pt scale as well) literally just divides by 25.
Basiclly, nobody knows exact 92 is a 4.0 or 3.7. It will be the college to determine the GPA based on the report card my school provided. I just try to apply and pray one of them will accept me.
Thanks for the help!
At my kid’s school if you got a 90.0 or higher in every class you’d have 4.0
I guess the question is: why does AP need to know? He wants a math equivalent or the functional meaning in an admit review?
They’ll look at the school report and the transcript. The more competitive the college, the more you need grades within the range your hs considers “excellent.”
In Ontario, a 92 is an A+. An 82 would be an A-.
At a college fair that was held in Ontario, I asked 2 selective US universities how to convert Ontario percentages to US GPA and I got 2 different answers. I believe both agreed that 90+ was 4.0.
Bouders has it right : it’s a very very strong 4.0 for Ontario.
