<p>Is that all As (90+s)?
or is it like A+s (97+s)?</p>
<p>Just wondering :)
Thanks.</p>
<p>High schools have widely varying ways of calculating GPA. Generally, a 4.0 means that every grade the student received was an A or A+. The numerical conversions can vary.</p>
<p>my school doesn't weight on a 4.0 scale. they use 65-100</p>
<p>because my average is borderline (96.45) i'd like to know if it is a 4.0 or a 3.8</p>
<p>Are you trying to decide whether to put 3.8 or 4.0 on an application? If that's the issue, you should put your numerical average. Colleges will consider it equivalent to a 4.0</p>
<p>If you have to give it on the 4.0 scale, then say 4.0; at most schools, anything either from 90+ or 92+ would count as a 4.0, so you are well over that border</p>
<p>^ Wrong.
This is how GPA works:</p>
<p>A+ means nothing on the 4.0 unweighted scale.
An A is a 4.0
An A- is a 3.7
A B+ is a 3.3
A B is a 3.0
A B- is a 2.7
A C+ is a 2.3
A C is a 2.0
A C- is a 1.7
A D+ is a 1.3
A D is a 1.0
A D- is a .7
Anything lower and you are failing (0)</p>
<p>Add up your semester grades using these point values, divide by the number of classes, and that number is your unweighted GPA on the 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>Don't believe me? Here you go: <a href="http://www.hchs.hunter.cuny.edu/imag...nt_Average.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.hchs.hunter.cuny.edu/imag...nt_Average.pdf</a></p>
<p>Most top colleges use the scale posted above, with the exceptions being the Universities of California (see their website for how they calculate it, as it is rather complicated to explain).
93-100 is an A
90-93 is an A-
87-89 is a B+
83-86 is a B
80-83 is a B-
77-79 is a C+
73-76 is a C
70-73 is a C-
67-69 is a D+
63-66 is a D
60-66 is a D-
Under 60- Failure</p>
<p>You will probably want to just put your numerical avg. on your app, but if you even have 1 B+ then you cannot put down that you have a 4.0.</p>
<p>When you say a GPA of 4 out of a scale of 4 then it means an unweighted GPA with A as 4, B as 3, C as 2, and D as 1.
Some school do count +/- on a unweighted scale with A/A+ as 4, A- as 3.7, B+ 3.3, B as 3, ...
Converting from a scale of 100 without any additional information school will convert those to 4 using the following </p>
<br>
<p>90 - 4 {80, 89} - 3 {70, 79} - 2 {60, 69} - 1</p>
<br>
<p>University of California system don't count +/- while converting high school GPA.
So all As (A-,A,A+) gets 4
all Bs (B-,B,B+) gets 3
all Cs (C-,C,C+) gets 2
all Ds (D-,D,D+) gets 1</p>
<p>My school uses</p>
<p>90-100 A-, A, A+ = 4.0
80-89 B-, B, B+ = 3.0</p>
<p>The college GPA on my transcript follows this too.</p>
<p>my school does not use percen values on transcripts they just shows A B C etc, not even A- B+ etc,
so would that be considered a 4.0 for all A that i shows on there
(i have all As)</p>
<p>There is no uniform answer to this question. Each high school has its own answer, and each college admission office has its own answer.</p>
<p>All A's (my school).</p>
<p>What if your average were, say, 89.7. Would that be rounded up to a 90 when you put it down, or do you put down 89.7 ?</p>
<p>They mean grade inflation.</p>
<p>Computerized, you put down the exact number.</p>
