<p>My high school does our grades out of 100, but i was just wondering how you either convert or scale your average to what colleges see. my uw average is ~98 (they dont tell us) and my weighted average is 99.6 not including my junior year, but it should go up when we get transcripts with this years grades. what would my gpa be then?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the exact average would be because each college has their own way of recalculating GPA (some include freshman year, some don’t, some don’t include electives, some do, and it goes on and on). But I can assure you that a 98 UW is pretty much good enough to be competitive at most, if not all, colleges because it would probably translate to a 3.9+.</p>
<p>If you want to a literal translation to a 4.0 scale, all you have to do is divide your average (out of 100) by 25. However, some colleges will use a scale - where each A+ is worth a 4.0, each A is worth a 4.0, each A- is worth a 3.7, and so on and so forth - and then they’ll average all of those.</p>
<p>ok thank you! a million websites say different things and i have no idea what to believe but that makes sense</p>
<p>Basically what Rob1995 said. 
A lot of colleges will recalculate your GPA (for example, UMass system admits students with a minimum of 3.0 of their recalculated GPA, which I believe only includes ‘major’ areas such as English, foreign languages, history, yada yada), and give .5/1 point for honors/AP on your unweighted.</p>
