weird GPA system

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Is my school's gpa system messed up?
97-100 = A+ (4.0)
94-96 = A (3.7)
90-93 = A- (3.3)
and so on...</p>

<p>The reason I say this is because some of my friends from other schools and people on this board have said their schools have GPA scales of 90-100 = A (4.0), 80-89 = B (3.0)....... OR 93-100 = A (4.0)...
Either way, if someone's average was 93 at the last two schools they'd have a 4.0, but at my school they'd have a 3.3. I think this is wacked... So do colleges know this? </p>

<p>(oh, and btw, report cards come out in a few weeks, and hopefully my grades will be great and I won't have to worry about any of this, but just in case...)</p>

<p>no its normal</p>

<p>MY school system is:</p>

<p>98-100 4
93-97 3.666
90-92 3.333
87-89 3.333 </p>

<p>if you take all honors course then you add 1 to that.</p>

<p>Colleges will redo your GPA according to their system. They will have a profile of your high school. Doesn't matter if yours is weird or not.</p>

5

<p>appearently, I heard some schools (like Penn) do not recalculate.</p>

6

<p>Bahamian public high schools
4.0 = 90-100 = A
3.0 = 71-89 = B
2.0 = 56-70 = C
1. 0 = 45-55 = D
0 = <45 = F</p>

<p>my college
4.0 = 90 - 100 = A
3.75 = 85-89 = A-
3.5 = 80-84 = B+
3.0 = 75-79 = B
2.75 = 71-74 = B-</p>

<p>I wouldnt know the rest</p>

<p>A=93+=4.0
A-=90-92=3.7
B+=87-89=3.3
B=83-86=3.0
B-=80-82=2.7
C+=77-79=2.3
C=73-76=2.0
C-=70-72=1.7
D+=67-69=1.3
D=63-66=1.0
D-=60-62=0.7
F=<60=0.0
.3 for Both honors and AP</p>

<p>So Grade deflation is alive and well.</p>

<p>my school</p>

<p>A: 4
B: 3
C: 2
D: 1
Fail: 0</p>

<p>if AP classes</p>

<p>A: 5
B: 4
C: 3
D: 1
Fail: 0</p>

<p>YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......................mary loves me!!!!!!!!!......i love you too mary</p>

<p>BestMiler...... lablondie didn't take your offer for Asia?</p>

11

<p>lablondie has been overwhelmed by the random offerings of continents and has no clue what to do.</p>

<p>But my school:</p>

<p>A 4.00
A- 3.67
B+ 3.33
B 3.00
B- 2.67
C+ 2.33
C 2.00
C- 1.67
D+ 1.33
D 1.00
D- .67
F .00</p>

<p>Weighted classes add .5, and different teachers use different % for grades. Most teachers use 93+% for an A, some use 95+%, one uses 92+%, and one uses 100+% (but she gave extra credit). I don't really know what the % for anything less than an A is.</p>

12

<p>my school doesn't even have a 4.0 system, but usual 90-100 A, 80-89 B etc.</p>

13

<p>mines pretty much like yours...and nothing is weighted :(</p>

14

<p>Mine's terrible...
100=4.0
99=3.9
98=3.8
It goes down like that to about 93, where it gets more complex.</p>

15

<p>The problem with my school is that they don't put the number grade on the transcript, only the letter grade... so if a college wanted to convert my gpa to their scale, they wouldn't know a 94 from a 96... or a 90 from a 93...</p>
