<p>Being in Canada, I am unfamiliar w/the concept of a GPA.
Searching on the Internet, this is what I conjured:</p>

<p>4.0 95-100 A
3.9 94 A
3.8 93 A
3.7 92 A
3.6 91 A
3.5 90 A
3.4 89 B
3.3 88 B
3.2 87 B
3.1 86 B
3.0 85 B</p>

<p>Is the above true? So those getting 4.0s on this forum are gods and goddesses?
Ivy and Oxbridge only cares to look at applications of the 4.0 calibre?</p>

<p>Is GPA calculated from all four years of high school or only the latter 2?</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>that's just the scale out of 4.0...some schools do it out of 5.0 or other numbers. also, AP classes get weighted, which is why some peoples' gpas look extra big. i know my school calculates gpa for all four years, but apparently there are some high schools that don't include freshman year.</p>

<p>i am lucky that my school does this:
4.0 89.5-100 A
3.0 79.5-89.4 B
2.0 69.5-79.4 C
etc.</p>

<p>this is how it's actually written in the student handbook. :D</p>
