<p>I dont have a 4.0 uw and I got in. actually, there is no one in my graduating class with a 4.0 uw in my school</p>

<p>How do you convert at 100 point scale to a 4.0 scale? </p>

<p>Our school's system is as follows:
94-100 : A
85-93: B
77(maybe 76...idk)-84: C
70-(76/77): D
69 and below: F</p>

<p>um i m pretty sure that even if ure school reports ure UW, colleges recalculate them based on their standards (princeton doesnt count freshman year, Upenn excludes gym/health etc..) so it doesnt matter. Now how easy it is to get an A in ure school can be determined by ure rank/weighted gpa/school profile. So no need to worry.</p>

<p>lol if u take away freshman year my uw gpa is like a 3.80 flat. is that bad =(</p>

25

<p>I think it is only Princeton that subtracts freshman grades from GPA. Just boost up your test scores if you need to compensate for GPA...or how about taking another weighted AP?</p>

<p>at my school:
90-100.....A 4uw 5w
80-90......B 3uw 3.75w
70-80......C 2uw 2.5w
60-70......D 1uw 1.25w
anybody else like this?</p>
