<p>My school grades it where a 97 to a 100 is a 4.0 and for each point below a 97 it is .1 down, so a 90 is a 3.3 and a 85 is a 2.8. This is crazy, but the school does not actually calculate the GPA on our transcripts. We also don't weight classes, and I was on the committee that took it to the school board to change that. They turned it down on the basis of kids with lesser abilities feeling put down.</p>
<p>My current school has numbers too. We get a certain amount of points out of certain amount. We can calculate the percentages though. We don’t even get semester grades, we get a year grade. I’m going to ask my counselor if he can print off both of my semester grades though so that I can give them to colleges.</p>
<p>Wait… So that’s how grades out of 100 work? Dude, THAT’S CRAZY.</p>
<p>I’m the kid that gets like 91 in most of his classes. Lol. A 91 and 100 both count the same at our school, so there’s no motivation to score higher. Unless it turns out that colleges do care about the difference between an A and an A-, in which case, I’m screwed and will have to exile myself to the most remote waters off the coast of Singapore.</p>
<p>… They really don’t care, right?</p>
<p>Colleges will usually calculate your grades in accordance with their grading system. I thought straight 90’s was a 3.7. Someone else will have to confirm that though.</p>
<p>98-100 4.0<br>
96-97.9 3.9<br>
94-95.9 3.8<br>
92-93.9 3.7<br>
90-91.9 3.6<br>
89-89.9 3.5
and every percent down from there drops .1
honors classes weighted 1.1, ap classes 1.2 (multiply that by # out of 4.0)</p>
<p>it makes it pretty competitive in the A-range, but it’s nice that going down to a B isn’t a massive plummet.</p>
<p>^
WOAH.</p>
<p>How the heck do people get 4.0 unweighted GPAs?.. They need to have straight A+s?..</p>
<p>CRAZY!</p>
<p>Is that scale correct?</p>
<p>haha we just need a minimum of 90 percent in each class for a 4.0 uw…</p>
<p>I thought that you only needed a 90 too lol</p>
<p>nobody has a 4.0 uw. i am currently ranked #1 (lol) and have a 3.89 uw.</p>
<p>*that is just the scale at my school, i am sure most colleges have a much different one.</p>
<p>Wait, wait, so will colleges care about the different levels of an A?</p>
<p>Man, now I’m worried again… I can’t find a clear answer.</p>
<p>If it says A and not A- on your report card, I think that will still count as a 4.0. If it says A-, that might be a 3.7. Again, I’m in need of confirmation.</p>
<p>Congratulations on being number 1 though!:)</p>
<p>Here it’s:
A+/A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.5
B: 3.3
B-: 3.0
C+: 2.7
C: 2.5
C-: 2.0
D+: 1.7
D: 1.5
D-: 1.0
F: 0.0</p>
<p>And you add one point for Honors/AP classes up until the D+ mark.</p>
<p>“Wait… So that’s how grades out of 100 work? Dude, THAT’S CRAZY.”</p>
<p>Not in my school lol. It’s out of a 100 but we get 5 points for honors courses and 10 for AP. However, there’s no weighted or unweighted GPA. </p>
<p>E.g.
I got an 86 and an 89 this marking period.
It’s technically a 91 and 94.</p>
<p>(P.S. My freshmen year GPA was 95! :D)</p>
<p>^
What the heck? 10 GPA points for AP?..</p>
<p>That’s super inflated…</p>
<p>mine is out of 100.
2.5 for honors.
5 for AP</p>
<p>My county has the standard 90-100 = A = 4.0, 80-89 = B = 3.0, etc. 1 point for AP, .5 for honors. No pluses or minuses…some of your grading systems are crazy (to me at least)!</p>
<p>“They turned it down on the basis of kids with lesser abilities feeling put down.”</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately, this is where political correctness is bringing society. Don’t deny a man his steak just because a baby can’t chew it.</p>
<p>…AP…H…CP…LP
a…5.0 …4.5 …4.0 …3.5
a-…4.7 …4.2 …3.7 …3.2
b+…4.3 …3.8 …3.3 …2.8
b…4.0 …3.5 …3.0 …2.5
b-…3.7 …3.2 …2.7 …2.2
c+…3.3 …2.8 …2.3 …1.8
c…3.0 …2.5 …2.0 …1.5
c-…2.7 …2.2 …1.7 …1.2
d+…2.3 …1.8 …1.3 …0.8
d…2 …1.5 …1 …0.5
d-…1.7 …1.2 …0.7 …0.2</p>
<p>90-100=A
89-80=B
79-70=C
69-60=D
59-=F</p>
<p>The teachers in my schools don’t really add the “+ or -”. So if it’s a 89 or an 80, you still receive a regular “B”. AP’s gets an extra point and honors get an extra .5 if your grade is a “D” or above. My friend has a 4.0 unweighted and she makes regular straight “A’s”. </p>
<p>You know what though, this doesn’t really matter anyway, because if you’re applying to a school in the US, chances are that they would take your grades and re-calculate them again anyways. Same thing for many scholarships.</p>
