<p>What is the 4.0 grading scale colleges ask for?
Is it
A=4.0
B=3.0
C=2.0
D=1.0
F=0</p>
<p>Or is it</p>
<p>A+ (97-100) = 4.0
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7</p>
<p>B+ (87-89) = 3.3
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7</p>
<p>C+ (77-79) = 2.3
C (73-76) = 2.0
C- (70-72) = 1.7</p>
<p>D+ (67-69) = 1.3
D (65-66) = 1.0
E/F (below 65) = 0.0</p>
<p>Usually, they will drop the pluses and minuses. This is a good thing for an A- but a bad thing for a B+.</p>
<p>What fledgling says is usually the case.</p>
<p>The main way to do it is A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0 with these letter grades either on the 7 point or 10 point scale. Other places calculate GPA really oddly, like for unweighted at mine your GPA is: 4.0-(96-x)/8, maximum of 4.0, for each course. Your school should calculate it, and if it doesn’t…it doesn’t really matter, some colleges recalculate GPA (and a lot of them do it completely differently) and some don’t. Just get the highest A’s you can.</p>
<p>My school does it this way:</p>
<p>A+ (97-100) = 4.4
A (93-96) = 4.0
A- (90-92) = 3.7</p>
<p>B+ (87-89) = 3.4
B (83-86) = 3.0
B- (80-82) = 2.7</p>
<p>C+ (77-79) = 2.4
C (73-76) = 2.0
C- (70-72) = 1.7</p>
<p>D+ (67-69) = 1.4
D (65-66) = 1.0
E/F (below 65) = 0.0 </p>
<p>It bugs me a bit because every year there are a few students who have their way of bumping their As to A+s, not through diligence or intelligence but by being favorable with the teacher.</p>
<p>wth my school has a 4.0 marked as 92+ and i have an 89 average freshman and sophomore, with a 95 I think this year (junior). so when my college gets my transcript they will see that my gpa is really more of a 3.7~ than a 3.9 like i hoped, although this year it is a 4.0… i have been mislead@@</p>
<p>oh well i guess its my fault for sucking at school before :D</p>
