<p>Hi, I'm just so confused because my high school transcript has my GPA in numerical (/100 based) form and I don't quite know how to get it out of 4.0, how do I turn my grades into that format?</p>
<p>Look up your letter grade GPA equivalences, add 'em up, and divide by the number of courses you took.</p>
<p>What is your gpa once you calculate it</p>
<p>LydiaSofia: Okay so are all A’s (90-100) considered 4.0, because in that case, unweighted my gpa is 4.0 but idk if there is somewhere in between for these</p>
<p>DrDavid: Not quite sure, but the gpa my school gave me is 102.8</p>
<p>ahh. okay. well… In my experience, A- (90-92.99) are 3.7… But I do know some scales count all 90-100 as 4.0
A+ 97.00–100.00
A 93.00-96.99
A- 90.00-92.99</p>
<p>Maybe other ccers can clear up the confusion?</p>
<p>Lydia’s scale and advice looks good. </p>
<p>For the scale ask you school if they have a conversation chart … if not Lydia’s is a solid one … there is no agreed upon standard … its also not necessary to use the +/- scale; using straight grades is fine if your school does not designate +/-. </p>
<p>The other thing she mentions that is important is to do this correctly you need to convert each grade and figure out a average … and not convert just an average. Here’s an example at a just straight grades … both kids have a 91 average … so if we convert them both off the average they both have a 4.0. Student #1 has course grades of 91, 91, 91, 91 so it converts to a 4.0 also. Student #2 has course grades of 96, 96, 86. 86 … which converts to a 3.5.</p>
<p>Oh alright thanks! And for the advice
another question, how do AP classes appear on the weighted scale, if an A- is 3.7, if it’s an AP class what would it be?</p>
<p>4.7 for an A- in an AP</p>
<p>This all totally depends on your school.</p>
<p>What’s wrong with having a 100 scale? That’s what I have and it’s infinitely better than 4.0.</p>
<p>^ a couple reasons. First, almost all colleges use a 4.0 scale. Second, a 4.0 scale is much closer to how your performance will be graded in the work world (on a scale with 4-5 ratings). </p>
<p>I get the apparent allure of the 100 point scale but I call it the illusion of precision … is a student with a 98.11 really a better student than a student with a 98.10? On a 4.0 scale they are both A students and no signifigance is placed on the what is a statistical insignificant difference.</p>
<p>Well judging from a copy of my transcript that I have, it simply puts A: 90-100, B: 80-89, C: 75-79, D: 70-74, F: 0-69
So would that mean that if every class fits between the 90-100 mark it is simply an A and therefore 4.0?</p>
<p>I think so. Congratulations! :)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the help! Appreciate it!</p>
