GPA Conversion: 4.0 or 100?

Applying to College
1

<p>My school recently switched from a letter system to a number system, and I was the first year (freshman) to experience that. I'm pretty ****ed because some junior and seniors had their grades changed from A+'s to automatic 100's, even though they could've gotten 95s or 96s (In my school, A+ is 95 and up). </p>

<p>So my question is: </p>

<p>My average is a 95.888, but definitely rising next year (soph). How do I convert that number to a 4.0-based scale (we have no weighted gpa for ap's)?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>dont. just send number grades.</p>

<p>i left my GPA boxes blank and my counselors/principal sent a letter explaining the system employed by the school.</p>

<p>send the 95% to them as it is</p>

<p>Thanks, but just for myself, I am wondering how I would compare to students who use 4.0-scaled GPA systems</p>

<p>Our school does the percentile accounting too. The counselors said we could recalculate our GPAs to a 4.0 scale by using the standard Texas public-school system, which is 90-100=A, a 4.0<br>
Ask your counselor if you should do the same using the standard public school system used by most public schools in your state. GOOD LUCK!!!</p>

<p>GPA and percent average don’t convert cleanly. You’d have to give us your entire transcript for us to give you an estimate of your GPA.</p>

<p>I think honestly that the numerical average system is much better than the 4.0 system.</p>

<p>For instance if you have a 93 average and your school’s scale is A: 93-100, I know that you barely scrapped by with A’s and you probably got several high B’s. </p>

<p>If your GPA is a 3.7 I don’t know whether you made a ton of high grades and several lower B’s or what happened. It’s even worse if it’s like my school where a 90 is a 3.25.</p>
