<p>Ask the college/ search its website. When people provide a GPA, its based on their schools’ GPA system or that of the schools to which they are applying. </p>
<p>To know how colleges consider your personal GPA, you should contact the college and ask. Some colleges have their own scales, and others use your school’s scale to help them determine GPA (for example, a 4.0 is whatever your school considers an A). I find it very useful to know this information about the colleges to which I am applying.</p>
