Question regarding GPA

Applying to College
1

<p>If I've never seen my GPA on a 100 scale does that mean it is nonexistent at my school? My report cards show the GPA on a 4.0 scale only. This semester I essentially missed the next level by under 1% because of exams and basically throughout my high school career. I believe my GPA would certainly appear higher by a bit, if not substantially because I'm looking at about .4-.5 lower on a 4.0/5.0 scale. </p>

<p>Is it possible that my transcript would have it, or am I SOL?</p>

<p>I don’t think any college would ever try to compare GPAs and percent-averages, so I think you’re wrong in saying “my GPA would appear higher”.</p>

<p>They see all your class grades on your transcript, so it is easy for them to create a common scale. The school report also explains your high school’s grading system to add extra context to your grades. Having percentages on your transcript wouldn’t help you.</p>
