<p>Just got my report card-
English I H. - 95
Wld History H. - 96
Geometry Hon- 96
Accel. Biology H.- 97
Latin II Hon. - 95
Comp. Apps (required in our school, it's retarded)- 98
Health- 98
Gym (if anyone cares)- 92</p>
<p>Calculated UW GPA is like 3.857, W- 4.63
And perfect attendance =DDDD</p>
<p>Even for freshmen grades, aren't these kind of low? Like Top 25 schools (not HYPSM but... you know), would they find grades like this okay? I'm top 10%, and last I checked like 4-6% top. I mean, a lot of other students with me got like all 98's so I kinda feel... retarded.</p>
<p>That looks like a 4.0 to me. How did you get to a 3.857?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Perhaps on your school’s system? I just averaged all my final scores up and divided by 25 and got 3.8…
4.0 UW would be like all 99’s/100’s</p>
<p>No. 4.0 would be all As, which you have.</p>
<p>Incorrect. An A in GPA format can be converted to at least a 95. So he got 7 A’s and 1 B. Add them all up and dived by 8 and you get 3.875. </p>
<p>To answer your question, they are good.</p>
<p>Wow… either you’re understanding this wrongly or something, or I’ve TERRIBLY screwed up this whole UW GPA thing.</p>
<p>lol no I just did it differently. Their is no clear way to convert a percentage to a GPA format. Many colleges use their own formula. Some say a 92 is an A while others say a 95 is an A and their are even those that limit an A to a 97. The one that is used most is 95 so I used that one as an A.</p>
<p>A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0. Add them all up. You had 7 A’s so that is 28 and you had 1 B which is a 3 so in total that is 31. Then divide by the number of classes which is 8. 31/8 is 3.875.</p>
<p>For the weighted GPA. Add a .5 for each honors and add a whole point for each AP and IB class before you divide by the number of classes taken.</p>
<p>Their is no clear way to convert percentage to GPA. I just used my way. The only thing you can say is that your GPA is around a 3.8. It is impossible to be specific because their is no universal way to convert them.</p>
<p>This is high school or college?</p>
<p>This is how colleges convert them. They each have a different value for every letter grade. Like I said, generally an A is a 95 so I converted it using that method.</p>
<p>No matter it’s 3.85 or 4.0, I can’t see anything wrong with your grade.
They are PERFECT !
Why you think they are bad?</p>
<p>There’s some grade deflation in my school, but not really significant here are my freshman grades. Just finished my freshman year. Are these on the right track for Hopkins?</p>
<p>English I PreAP-91 (slacked off majorly first semester, pulling an A was a miracle)
Geometry PreAP-91
Spanish III-93
Phys Ed-100
Biology PreAP-92
AP Human Geography-93 (easy class, but slacked off majorly in the beginning) AP Exam grade expected 5</p>
<p>Wait, what? An “A” is a 95? In Canada an A is an 80 and above. And getting scores like those in the high 90’s is unheard of here. My average is a 94, and how I worked to get that average.</p>
<p>I meant for the OP, is this high school or college?</p>
<p>Gym doesn’t count toward your GPA. You have a 4.0 - end of discussion.</p>
<p>Yes, in the US an A is not anything lower then a 90. In most college an A is a 95. However know that high schools are different in other countries. For example in the UK an A is 80-100%. Colleges in the US know this and they calculate it differently for foreign students so don’t be alarmed.</p>
<p>I do not know how JHU converts but if it’s by an A is 92 then you should be good unweighted. All you need now is to take weighted classes to bring up your weighted GPA.</p>
<p>Waterbear: “This is how colleges convert them. They each have a different value for every letter grade. Like I said, generally an A is a 95 so I converted it using that method.”</p>
<p>Public schools here use 90, 80, 70, 60 for figuring grades and only put letter grades (no pluses or minuses or numbers) on the transcript. Someone with a 90 average would have a 4.0 UW.</p>
<p>Yeah this is High school guys, NOT college.</p>
<p>And how do I have one B? 92 in Gym? Cause 92 is still A-.</p>
<p>It is true that Gym mostly doesn’t count to their recalculated GPA’s although their are some lower tier universities that do count it.</p>
<p>For most universities he does have a 4.0 and I don’t know how he/she could even think his/her grades are horrible.</p>
<p>My apologies Seadog, I thought you were talking to me.</p>
<p>I told you that for most universities an A is 95+. Colleges do not count minuses or pluses. As such, a 92 is a B. Again, remember that all universities are different and that they may consider a 92 to be an A. So keep your mind open to possibilities.</p>
<p>90-92 = A-
93-96 = A
96-100 = A+</p>
<p>Disregard any + or - signs when calculating your GPA.</p>
<p>You have a 4.0. We good here?</p>
<p>Sigh…it seems no one listens… This is not a test score. This is a GPA. In a test a 90 is an A. In GPA most colleges consider it a B.</p>

<p>If you won’t listen to me then listen to them.</p>
<p>Every university counts percentages differently.</p>
<p>I am not arguing that he doesn’t have a 4.0. He clearly has one since his PE class doesn’t count. I am arguing how you convert his percentage to GPA.</p>
