Gpa Scale..?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>My schools GPA system worked like this:
A+ 4.0
A 3.75
A- 3.5
B+ 3.25
B 3.0
B- 2.67
C+ 2.33</p>

<p>this is a little harsher than other schools where any A is a 4.0, or where you can have up to a 4.33</p>

<p>Now, in my senior year, my school changed it to be more fair where:
A+ 4.33
A 4.0
A- 3.67</p>

<p>etc.</p>

<p>However, they didn't recalculate our first 3 years
will colleges take into consideration our GPA scale?
I have a 3.56, but where all A- is a 3.5</p>

<p>(and now, senior year, with the new curve I had a 3.84 the first MP.. figures)</p>

<p>It all depends on your class rank. Just GPA doesn't say very much.</p>

3

<p>my school doesnt even weigh grades<br>
every class is out of 100 and the mid term and final count as much as a marking period</p>

<p>i think thats stupid because they are only an hour and a half long.</p>

<p>so do colleges care</p>

<p>At least with our school, on the 'school report' thing it explains the GPA scale. I'm guessing yours will do something along those lines. Also, colleges almost always (as far as I know) recalculate your gpa based on their scale (so they can compare them equally), so as long as they see your actual grades it should be ok.</p>

<p>a = 4.0
b+ = 3.5
b = 3.0
c+= 2.5
c = 2
etc.
+.5 for aps, +.25 for certain tough courses</p>

<p>what about percentage grades? i think mine are pretty tough
a = 94-100
b+ = 90-93
b = 84 - 89
c+ = 80-83 etc.</p>
