gpa vs. percentiles

<p>does anyone know a stie that shows the equivalences of your gpa to a perentile grade (ie: 3.63 = __%)</p>

<p>What pool do you want your percentile out of? Your GPA is determined by your high school, so you can use your rank to determine your percentile.</p>

<p>You rank = your percentile. Unless your high school doesnt rank, colleges don't compare you to other applicants based soley on GPA. If your high school doesn't rank, then I don't know.</p>

<p>no, no I don't mean percentile in terms of rank. </p>

<p>You knwo how some people say i have a 92 average and some say i have a 3.6...I want to know how to convert it to find out what my average is out of 100</p>

<p>Oh yea I was wondering this too...do some schools just give that kind of a GPA? Like a number out of 100? Are these typically midwest schools or east coast or what? Because I've noticed this and been thrown off by it before.</p>

<p>The number out of 100 is not a percentile. It's just an average of all your semester grades. Instead of adopting an arbitrary grading scale (4.0), some schools opt to do a simple average of all your grades. Sometimes, advanced courses (honors/GT/AP) are weighted +10 in this system.</p>

<p>Okay, guys, I've made a chart for you comparing weighted-gpa (0.0 - 4.33) and weighted-percentage (0.0 - 110.0) grading scales. I've included the D range for both, though many schools don't accept anything lower than a C/C- and instead consider it an F.</p>

<p>(It's not a percent*ile, but rather a percentage* of attempted work completed successfully.)</p>
