<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My school only calculates weighed GPA, so I was wondering what my Unweighed GPA would look like with respect to schools such as Harvard. Is it that if I make a 93% or above, it's a 4.0? I know that different schools use different methods, but what is the conventional scale?
At my school, a 93%+ in an Honors/Pre-AP/AP class becomes 5.0.</p>
<p>At my school a 93 is an a. 85 a B. 77 is C. 69 a D.
4, 3, 2, 1 points for each class. Average.</p>
<p>Oh ok interesting, thanks.</p>
<p>No…</p>
<p>If you take only two classes (for simplicity now) and have an average of a 93, you could have a 4.0 or a 3.5. Here are two possible cases:
Student A gets two 93s. Both count as As so it’s a 4.0</p>
<p>Student B gets a 100 and an86. This counts as an A and a B so it is a 3.5.</p>
<p>In general…
A=4
A- (90-92)=3.7
B+ (87-89)=3.3
B (83-86)=3.0</p>
<p>And so on…</p>
<p>My school doesn’t weight anything, and a 93% is considered a B (3.0). We don’t do pluses/minuses.
But colleges will most likely look at your whole transcript, not a single number.</p>
<p>It is very unusual for a 93 to be considered a B. I think it matters more about your RANK</p>
<p>@Chlogan,</p>
<p>Well yes I know, I just meant a 93 or above in every single class.</p>
<p>@Cholgan, </p>
<p>Ok thanks, my school doesn’t rank by numbers, but I will ask my GC for my percentile rank.</p>
<p>Oh, I see what you meant</p>
<p>Yeah, but still, thanks for your insight!</p>
