My's schools grading scale

Applying to College
1

<p>My school's grading scale is the normal: 70-9 = C, 80-9 = B, 90-100 = A. They give 4.0 for straight A's, no matter - or +, 3.0 for straight B's no matter - or +, and so on. I just saw another school's grading scale with at least 93 = A, and below a 70 is F, and I thought this was extremely harsh.</p>

<p>I currently have a 4.0 with a relative 94 percent average. Out of the 24 slots on my transcript (after this semester is over), I will have probably 5 A-, and 19 A's, with no A+'s. Other schools give like 3.7 for A-, so in other schools, I would not have a 4.0. So will colleges take this into consideration that my GPA is not really a 4.0, but less? I don't think this is very fair because: because of our school's grading system, a lot of teachers just give solid grades, no + or -. While others only give A's, and not A+, because they don't believe in perfection (or something like that). </p>

<p>How will colleges view my GPA?</p>

2

<p>most colleges have their own system for calculating gpa because so many schools do it differently</p>

3

<p>but still, if they gave more points for an a+, then that would be unfair because more than half of the teachers here refuse to give + or -.</p>

4

<p>Life isn't fair. They will look at your schools grading system. They may have their own system for recalculating GPA, depending on the school. I wouldn't worry too much.</p>

<p>each school is weird...
My school I was class rank 2 with an 82% the topper getting 84%...
So that is not a B... its relative</p>

<p>All schools should do this</p>

<p>Ur score = ur score/toppers score * 100 and give it in %</p>
