<p>sorry, but i'm just wondering
when they say 3.9 uw or 4.3 w
what is that in percentages???
im in canada and we don't use GPAs -_-
could anyone inform me on this please</p>
<p>I agree with McGilldad. As an "almost 50" person who attended competitive schools and had a career in a high pressure field I learned early on that there were lots of people who survived and thrived in business who didn't go to so-called upper tier schools. I wish I'd had more fun during my college days rather than worrying about getting ahead. You're only young once, and who you are isn't determined by an SAT score or class rank, and what you contribute to the Human Condition isn't dictated by what college or graduate school you attended. I cringe when I read some of the posts on these boards by parents and especially kids who only value statistics.
You'll understand this better when you're closer to 50 than to 20.</p>
<p>I understand what you mean Constance but with so much competition these days, there's no guarantee that we will one day become successful and because of that we worry about the quantitative statistics that define our hard work (or lack thereof--lol..my case) since we have nothing else, at our disposal, such as time and experience, to promote otherwise. But I do see what you mean and agree that a top school is by no means an absolute route for success.</p>

<p>I had two very good recomendation letters but I'm not sure if that mattered.
Also, I took AP English lang. last year and am takeing four other AP courses this year. </p>
<p>I thought my SAT scores were on the low side so maybe that means that Mcgill feels that gpa is more important or maybe they just take these things on a case by case basis.</p>

<p>90% average-Ontario student, so that's really the only i had to submit lol. yeah it's interesting that all ontario students' decisions were released today, whereas you guys all heard earlier-oh well, the wait is over now.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if you still wanna know, but this is what the GPA scale means</p>
<p>UW - un weighted, you get the same amount of credit for an AP class as a standard class (tends to be lower if you take hard classes)
W - Weighted - ap classes count more</p>
<p>4 - A in a standard class
3 - B in a standard class
2 - C in a standard class
1 - D in a standard class
and then AP classes will be weighted more, so it might be
5 - A in an AP class,
4 B in an AP class
and so on</p>
<p>and then you average it all out.
so a 4.0 is lik ea 95 average.</p>
