<p>A = 90+ </p>
<p>cowgirl, i'm Canadian too - from Toronto. You?</p>
<p>im canadian too :) from vancouver</p>
<p>100-95- A
95-90-A-
and so onA+'s do not exist</p>
<p>your school sends the grading scale with your app.</p>
<p>Mine was 94=A, 93=B+</p>
<p>For all those who attend schools that require 94% and above as an A, how frequently does an A occur? Is it ultra-rare, or is it evened out by grade inflation?</p>
<p>86 an A?? what kind of school do you go to?</p>
<p>anyway, at my high school it was 90,80, 70, 60...except for APs and such where the majority went 85, 75, etc.</p>
<p>Umm, like I said before, an A at my school is 94 and above. In 9th grade, A's aren't that hard to get. However, once 11th grade comes around, I'd say an average of three people get enough A's to place them on High Honors (Only 2 B+s are allowed for High Honors). This year, which is 12th grade, only two people besides myself have gotten all A's(We are also the only people who have made high honors). We represent the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in my graduating class. The GPA gap behind me is about .2. In answer to your question, yes A's do become ultra rare as I progress up through the years at my school. Hope the colleges realize that.</p>
<p>And grade inflation is nonexistent. I'd say that for the majority of classes that I'm in 4 people at the most have gotten A's for the first semester.</p>
<p>wow.</p>
<p>an A in my school is 76-100. period.</p>
<p>Holy ****!!</p>
<p>haha harsh for some of you
and geez... 76!?? </p>
<p>A+ = 97+
A= 92-96
A-=90-92
B+... yeah i actually don't know anything below the A's
65=D- tho.. like just ONE number lol</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That's the scale for my school as well.</p>
<p>A+ 98-100
A 93-97
A- 90-92</p>
<p>most teachers round up from 89.5, though.</p>
<p>93-100=A
no A+, A-
.5 rounds up
higher GPA credit for honors, AP</p>
<p>95-100 A
85-94 B
70-84 C</p>
<p>though my school does GPA and such by numerical values, not by A,B,C - (we have a 5.0 scale for some reason) so to get a 5.0 you have to get 100's in all classes if you don't have AP or Honors classes for weighting.</p>
<p>Man, I got three B's this semester, and all of them were like 89.5s...my school is the 100-93-85-76-69 scale. If I had some of your scales, I'd still be a 4.0 unweighted.</p>
<p>thanks andy for replying. anybody else?</p>
<p>86 an A?? what kind of school do you go to?</p>
<p>I just go to a local public school which is ranked about 25th in the province. A's are fairly rare I suppose. About 7 straight A's among 350 students.</p>
<p>A: 86 ~ 100 (4.0)
B: 73 ~ 85 (3.0)
C+: 67~72 (2.5)
C: 60 ~ 66 (2.0)
C-: 50 ~ 59 (1.0)
F: 0 ~ 49 (0.0)</p>
<p>I don't know why anybody with a brain who puts in fair amount of effort will not get at least a C+. True, the number of A's given out per class is not that many, but a plethora of B's are given. The grade inflation isn't that bad at my school, i suppose...</p>
<p>How do the class averages compare with you guys</p>
<p>For example,</p>
<p>Biology 12: My mark is 96% (highest) and the class average is about 68%
Chemistry 12: My mark is 94% (2nd highest) and the class average is about 66%
AP Psychology: My mark is 97% (highest) and the class average is about 90%
French 11: My mark is 94% (highest) and the class average is about 76% (teacher's last year teaching and gives out tonnes of bonus marks)</p>
<p>90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
60-69 = D
<60 = F</p>
<p>89.5+ is an A </p>
<p>No pluses or minuses just straight letter grades. I will say that teachers do have room to do some serious curving though. Last year in my AP Enviro class I had a 91 but the next highest was a 78 and most in the D and F range... so he curved everyones grade by 6%. </p>
<p>Although we have the 89.4+ as an A there aren't many A's in each class... maybe 3-4 in most APs.</p>
