unweighted gpa calculation for my school...

Applying to College
1

<p>ok, so i understand the process in calculating unweighted high school gpa's...however i noticed that everywhere i've searched they include a different value for + and - grades (e.g. B+ = 3.3 and B- = 2.7). However, on my transcript for 9th and 10th grade, the grades they have are all whole grades. So I'm wondering if colleges will just use those whole numbers or if there's any way of finding out the difference with the + and - added?</p>

<p>9th:
CP English I: A<br>
Algebra II: B
Earth Science: A
American Government: A
Health/Gym (.5 cred each): A
Fine Art Prep: A
Living in a Contemp. World: A
German I: A</p>

<p>10th:
CP English II: B
Trigonometry: B
Biology: B
AP World History: A
Learning abt Children: A
Drawing & Painting: A
Foundations of Tech: A
German II: A</p>

<p>If your transcript lacks pluses and minuses, colleges won’t see them and they won’t be considered in calculating your unweighted GPA. To calculate, assign 4.0 to A, 3.0 to B, etc.</p>

<p>Exactly. This is how my school operates.</p>

<p>Is that how 4.0 scale GPA is calculated? I have gotten an A in every class, even though some are low 90s, so does that mean I have a 4.0 gpa?</p>

<p>90-100 = 4.0</p>

<p>80-89.99 = 3.0</p>

<p>70-79.99 = 2.0</p>

<p>60-69.99 = 1.0</p>

<p>59.99 and lower = 0.0</p>

<p>thanks! well thats awsome then because that will end up raising my gpa… so for those students whos schools count the + and -, do colleges just convert them to whole numbers? otherwise that would be unfair.</p>

<p>It varies by school. Check your transcript. If they don’t list pluses and minuses, you’re golden. </p>

<p>Consider yourself lucky! My school operates on a 93-100 A, 85-92 B, etc scale.</p>
