Strange GPA calculation - how to convert to ND system

<p>So my school (Western Michigan UNiversity) calculates the GPA on the 4.0 scale but they get rid of the +/- scale and do it a little differently.</p>

<p>4.0 = A
3.5 = BA
3 = B
2.5 = CB
2.0 = C
1.5 = CD
1.0 = D
0 = F</p>

<p>It screws stuff up a little mostly b/c some of my classes i would be getting a A- (.3.66) on the normal scale - lets say i have a 90 in the class, but i actually only get a 3.5. so the GPA tends to be a little depreciated. I am trying to transfer to ND and i know they go on the A,A-,B+, etc. system. How do you think they would be going about with calculating my GPA? I emailed admin a week ago and have not heard back????? I Just want to get an idea of where i will stand. I have all BA and A in my classes so i am not worried - should stand above a 3.7 but curiosity more then anything. anyone know?</p>

<p>Anyone know? I am supposed to Email ND once i get my final grades and the lady i talked to iin Admin had no idea what i was talking about... Anyone on here have an idea.</p>

<p>I would just send them your grades and a copy of your schools grading scale. Also, chances are they have dealt with Western before and they have a system in place already. No sense in you trying to calculate a GPA and maybe messing it up or causing yourself a bunch of extra stress.</p>
