<p>When calculating my UW GPA, what should I include an A- as? Is it 3.7, 4.0, or something else?</p>
<p>Also, do colleges have different methods of calculating UW GPA when it comes to specifics such as these or is there a general rule that all colleges abide by?</p>
<p>4.0: 90-100
3.0: 80-89
2.0: 70-79
1.0: 60-69
0.0: 0-59</p>
<p>This is by far the most common method. A- is generally something like 90-93, so I would say it’s a 4.0.</p>
<p>Oh, I see the light now - thanks for clarifying.</p>
<p>Something else you can help me with: Why is my post count stuck at 331?</p>
<p>HS Life posts aren’t factored into your post count.</p>
<p>@energize Ok, makes sense now, thanks.</p>
<p>My school does it differently. Every 5 point drop in GPA on the 100 point scale corresponds to a point .2 drop of the 4.0 point scale.</p>

<p>I disagree. That’s only common for schools that use the A, B, C, D, F system without -s and +s.</p>
<p>If your school uses -/+, then an A- is most likely a 3.67 or 3.7.</p>
<p>Some colleges use the UW GPA given while others recalculate it.</p>
<p>You should check with your guidance counselor though. Each school is different. Mine uses the traditional 10 point system with +s and -s… but my state (I go to a private school) has a uniform grading policy. So in public schools here, they all use a 7 point scale with no + or -.</p>

I said most common. Most schools use the straight A, B, C, D, F system. Of course, many don’t, but most do.</p>
<p>my GPA is a 90 which = a 3.54.</p>
