I recognize this may be a silly question, but at my school our GPAs were calculated out of a hundred (we had no letter grades) and there was minimal weighting. Honors classes got like 1.05 and APs were weighed as 1.1.
Can someone give me some idea of what a 3.5 would look like in college out of say 4 classes a semester (a scholarship I received is contingent on such numbers). Two As, two Bs? Or what? I recognize any combination could work out to such but I would like a frame of reference if possible.
An A- is 3.67. A B+ is 3.33. So in between those 2.
Was it an outside scholarship? Tufts does not award merit aid.
Two A’s and 2 B’s would be a 3.5. So would 3 A’s and one C.
@TomSrOfBoston No it was a merit scholarship from Tufts. Thank you for putting those into numbers for me
@gardenstategal Thank you ^^
Was it the $500 NMF scholarship? Otherwise Tufts does not award merit aid:

@TomSrOfBoston No, I was accepted as a Neubar Scholar (pardon the spelling but I’m in too much of a hurry to double check it)
I just googled it. So it seems that Tufts does give this merit scholarship,contrary to what their website says. Congratulations!!
