<p>I am a junior this year and I've started looking at colleges. My school uses weighted GPAs on a 4.8 scale, but all of the college admissions criteria talk about GPAs on a 4.0 scale. Does anyone know how a GPA is changed from a 4.8 scale to a 4.0 scale? I am probably too nervous about this, but any help is much appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>no clue. try recalculating based on this:
A=4
B=3
C=2
D/F=1</p>
<p>add up all the points, divide by the number of classes.</p>
<p>Yes, you are too nervous about this. Because so many schools compute GPAs differently the college will recalculate it to their scale. Don’t worry about it.</p>
