<p>I think each school has adopted differeny policies for calculating GPAs...</p>
<p>I am from Canada...and
My school takes 6 of the best subject course final marks out of 8~10 courses
and calculate the average mark (I think...).
But some schools take all the subject marks... while others take only the
academic subject marks....</p>
<p>Anyone like to post their schools GPA policy ?
Or does it depend on what university you apply to?</p>
<p>our school has a 'total' gpa (all courses, including PE, health, etc), both weighted and unweighted, as well as an 'academic' gpa (excludes PE, health) on the transcript, again w and uw. The weighting is based on: 1 bonus point for a UC-approved honors or AP course. We have a normal 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
<p>well, glass-box, i have the same problem. You are from Canada, what if a person is from the CIS (former USSR)? how do you calculate then? Any suggestions appreciated
Thanks</p>
<p>dont.
Put N/A and send transcripts</p>
<p>colleges have their own way of calculating the GPA.</p>
<p>yea don't bother converting, the college'll figure out a way to look at your GPA.</p>
