GPA Conversion

<p>Does anyone know what a 97 avg out of 100 is in terms of the 4 point gpa scale?</p>

<p>Ive heard you just divide by 25? Is that true? Or is it like a range such as 95-100 is 4.0 90-94 is 3.9 and so on?</p>

<p>I think there are different ways of determining GPA...you'd have to check with your school. I got 4.0 but your school may do it differently...</p>

<p>Well, the only way to find out your true unweighed gpa is to calculate it using your previous scores. For example, if you got a 100% in every class except for an 89% in one class, your gpa would be below 4, but dividing by 25 it would be above.</p>

<p>So bassically, look at your highschool transcript, add up all your grades
A=4
B=3
C=2
D=1</p>

<p>Average them.</p>

<p>My high school grades on a number scale.</p>

<p>Each class is out of 100.</p>

<p>My avg is 97 out of 100 and I was wondering what that is on a 4.0 scale, if there is any way to determine that.</p>

<p>Honestly, the only way to make it 100% accurate is to see how many classes you got below a 90% in and blah blah</p>

<p>Ok, have you ever gotten below a 90% in a class in high school? If so, state the percentages.</p>

<p>Not in any main subjects. I think in band I got an 85% in 9th grade (never went to lessons) but I believe thats the only one.</p>

<p>cant you just put it into a ratio? 97/100 = x/4</p>

<p>could that work?</p>

<p>Moose is exactly right. You have to find your school's scale. 90-100 A, 80-90 = B. (or 94-100 = A. Whatever it is is what it is.) Look at each class (usually only academic classes not band) . Assign a grade point. English 87 = B = 3.0 Math 91 = A = 4.0 .Then add the grade points together and divide by the number of classes . VOILA' -zee GPA , she is 3.5 .</p>

<p>Ours is by semester. Each semester is one credit. Works the same way.</p>

<p>IF your scale is 90-100 = A and you have never had an ending grade of less than 90 then you have a 4.0. :) Congratulations.</p>

<p>I had the same question in the Parents forum. You might want to look at this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125868%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=125868&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>At Bentley this is the table of grades. (Other schools may vary)</p>

<p>4.0 A 95-100
3.7 A- 90-94
3.3 B+ 87-89
3.0 B 83-86
2.7 B- 80-82
2.3 C+ 77-79
2.0 C 73-76
1.7 C- 70-72
1.3 D+ 67-69
1.0 D 63-66
0.7 D- 60-62
0.0 F Below 60
P C (2.0) or better 73 or better</p>

<p>If you got one 85% and that's it, then do this</p>

<p>erm
let X stand for the total amount of classes you took in high school until now</p>

<p>4(X-1) + 3</p>

<p>and then divide that by x</p>

<p>so for example, if you have taken 20 courses, then your gpa would be 3.95</p>

<p>EDIT: This is basing on 90-100=4 and 80-89=3 because that's how most schools I know do it</p>

<p>Ok thanks for the help</p>
