<p>I was wondering what the average unweighted and weighted GPA is at Stanford.</p>
<p>High School GPA 3.0 and above: 99.8%
High School GPA 2.0 to 2.9: 0.2%</p>
<p>I recieved this information directly from the statistics page located on Stanford's web site.</p>
<p>OOPs those stats are from 1998 sorry</p>
<p>How funny, though I still think it holds true when you're one of the exceptions like development, legacy, URM, first generation college etc.</p>
<p>well....i tihnk in freshman year..i had this crazy biology teacher who was obsessedwith people's stats. Like he asked me for my transcript and said i would be better off in a community college(i had a 3.5 weighted gpa and i had sum issues...) yet, in 10th grade when i showed him my transcript to show him my straight A's..he still said i have no chance at stanford. He was like..average GPA is around a 4.5 or 4.6....and he said my 4.4 still cant get me into any good colleges. eh...freshman year..so many horrible teachers...dont worry..just get over 3.6 unwighted and get over at least 4.2 weighted..dat should do it.</p>
<p>"That should do it" doesn't apply to Stanford, for anyone. I'm not saying you don't have a shot, but people basically have 5.0 Weighted GPAs and get rejected by the thousands. So definitely keep your focus on what needs to be done but don't start feeling like it will ever be anything close to a sure thing, or you'll likely be terribly disappointed.</p>
<p>what does 95.1/100 unweighted equal to in the Stanford GPA scale?</p>
<p>if 4 is the max, say 4 = 100%. .951&4 = 3.804...so i'd say 3.8 on their scale. </p>
<p>HOWEVER, if your school reports all grades as %ages, they could convert individual grades to letters, and then do gpa that way.</p>
<p>so, if you had almost all ~96%'s and a few 94%'s, that converts to all a's --> 4.0.</p>
<p>general scale remains the same. 90-100-a/4, 80-90-b/3, and so on.</p>
<p>karthikkito:</p>
<p>95.0% is a 4.0, my friend.</p>
<p>100% would be A+, which is either 4.0 or 4.33 depending on how your school does GPA calculations.</p>
<p>lets say a student got 89, 98, 98 in three classes. wouldnt that average to a 95, and on a 4.0 gpa scale, that's 1/3 * (4 + 4 + 3) = 3.667? or am i approaching this the wrong way?</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Ohh I understand where your mistake is now. The GPA scale isn't correlated to percentage average.</p>
<p>(95 + 95 + 95) / 3 = 95.0% average
(4.0 + 4.0 + 4.0) / 3 = 4.00 GPA</p>
<p>(89 + 98 + 98) / 3 = 95.0% average
(3.66 + 4.33 + 4.33) / 3 = 4.11 GPA (using +/- GPA scale)
(3.00 + 4.00 + 4.00) / 3 = 3.67 GPA (using letter GPA scale)</p>
<p>Regardless of which scale you use, you can't convert a percentage average directly into a GPA. </p>
<p>(Note that this invalidates my last comment as well.)</p>
<p>For questions like these I'd suggestion you go to MIT (or any other schools) "common data set" ... (enter "data set") in the search engine on school's site ... this will provide info on grades, class rank, SATs, classes taken, # of applicants, etc. If you are interested in a school it's worth the time to check the data for yourself!</p>
<p>ah! thanks for clearing up my mistake =D. makes alot more sense now too...</p>
<p>(comment retracted)</p>
<p>this is so complicated, how do they spend only 20 min to each app?</p>
<p>“(89 + 98 + 98) / 3 = 95.0% average
(3.66 + 4.33 + 4.33) / 3 = 4.11 GPA (using +/- GPA scale)
(3.00 + 4.00 + 4.00) / 3 = 3.67 GPA (using letter GPA scale)”</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>(89 + 98 + 98) / 3 = 95.0% average
(3.33 + 4.33 + 4.33) / 3 = 4.00 GPA (using +/- GPA scale)</p>
<p>theyre consistent bud. since when would a B+ be a 3.66?</p>
<p>who says they only spend 20 minutes on an app? </p>
<p>also, for the gpa question, here is the applicant profile from last year. includes percentages on admitted students: [Applicant</a> Profile : Stanford University](<a href=“http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/basics/selection/profile.html]Applicant”>http://www.stanford.edu/dept/uga/basics/selection/profile.html)</p>
