<p>My I got my school report card, and my school doesn't stick to the good ol' fashioined GPA scale that you always here about (3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc.). </p>
<p>It just said my GPA was equal to my overall class average (which was a 90.5-ish). </p>
<p>However, when I enter the individual grades into a nifty GPA-calculator online, I'm getting 3.6. Is that my "legit" GPA? Or is GPA higher? Do colleges take the class average?</p>
<p>Well, the only thing you can really do is tell us all of your grades so we can convert it to the standard 4.0 scale. </p>
<p>100-90 = 4.0
89-80= 3.0
etc</p>
<p>and then average those grades.</p>
<p>Some colleges just look at your 100 pnt scale grade, and others convert it to their own 4.0 scale.</p>

<p>3.6 seems actually a bit high for a 90.5 average. There is no consideration given to the class's average, this is normally dealt with in ranking.</p>
<p>You can have a 90.5 average and have a 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>I know some people who always seem to get straight As with 90-92s in each of their classes.</p>
<p>^ I know, that is what I was just thinking about.</p>
<p>a 3.6 is an A-.</p>
<p>A=4.0 A-=3.6 B+=3.4, bla bla bla.</p>
<p>so that seems to make sense.</p>
<p>^ Not really. It depends on the school you attend. An A+, an A, and an A- are 4.0s at my school, while it is differnet at other schools.</p>
