<p>For example- a 90 in my current high school is still a 4.0. Any grade in the 80s is a 3.0. Is this how UT Austin calculates GPA as well. Do most college move away from this method found in my high school?</p>
<p>Are you asking how they interpret your transcript or how the University itself grades their own students?</p>
<p>If you are speaking of UTs grading system, they are on the +/- system:</p>
<p>A is a 4.0
A- is a 3.67
B+ is a 3.33
B is a 3.0
B- is a 2.67
C+ is a 2.33
C is a 2.0
C-is a 1.67
D+ is a 1.33
D is a 1.00
D- is a .67
F is a 0</p>
<p>Now were it gets interesting is that an A in one class can be an A- in another based on that specific professors guidelines. But most follow a similar protocol.</p>
<p>A is 100-93
A- is 90-92
B+ is 87-89
B is 83-86
B- is 80-82
C+ is 77-79
C is 73-76
Etc…
Some professors may say an A is 100-94, etc, but that is established the first day and you will know the expectation.</p>
<p>Honestly, the grading system is a hit or miss (which I dislike). Some professors do plus-minus, others don’t. Some professors grade based on cut-offs and some just do it by percentage (top 10% get A’s, etc.)</p>
