<p>Ours is 3.56...is that normal?</p>
<p>I think normally it should be 3.67</p>
<p>Er, shouldn't it be a 3.7, since an A- will give you a 3.7 for that course?</p>
<p>an 80 avg is 3.5</p>
<p>An 80 would be a 3.2; 3.5 divided by 4.0 would give you a .875... 88%. At my college, some classes you can get an A w/ a 90%, some classes you have to get a 94%....</p>
<p>kman... that is a fallacy... and I will show you why quite simply. </p>
<p>When you get a C, the school gives you a 2.0 for that class. </p>
<p>2.0/4.0= 50%, which is an F. Not a C. </p>
<p>The problem is that the percentages below 59% are all F's, but it's all 0.0 to the GPA. So really GPA only ranges between 50%-100%.</p>
<p>I don't know about other colleges, but both my high school and my current college graded like this: </p>
<p>A: 4.0
B: 3.0
C: 2.0
D: 1.0
F: 0.0</p>
<p>adding .3 for a + and subtracting .3 for a -. So an A- would be 3.7, and a B- (80) would actually be 2.7.</p>
<p>Va Tech: </p>
<p>3.42 - 3.6 = a-</p>
<p>3.6+ = a</p>
<p>nahrafsfa are you sure? When I was at tech:
A = 4.0
A- = 3.7
B+ = 3.3
B = 3.0
B- = 2.7 etc.</p>
<p>Same, anisky.</p>
<p>'Cept my school doesn't have a C-, a D+ or a D-. So it's just A(+/-), B(+/-), C(+), D, F. </p>
<p>Torture on the grade if you get down there. Luckily, 25% of your grade in the major can be pass/fail. :D</p>
<p>My school does not distinguish between A+, A, and A-. Therefore, the numerical equivalent is as follows:</p>
<p>A: 4.00
B: 3.00</p>
<p>...and so forth.</p>
<p>Fallacy? I think grading just varies by school. It really depends on my professors. Technically, the professor could give out A's for anybody with 80% or better and if you get 80% then you will get A in the course with 4.0. Nonetheless, an 80% is still 3.2 out of 4. A 4.0 doesn't mean you have 100% average, it just means you have an average of getting an A in every course. Basically, my point is that your GPA doesn't show your average percentile, just your average letter grade and at least at my school, the grading scales very quite a bit from each class.</p>
<p>nspeds, where do you go to school? My texas cc grades the same way. An A is an A and a B is a B, so forth.</p>
<p>Houston Baptist University</p>
<p>wahoo...basically, i just went to that little GPA calculator, and put in 6 A- and 4 B+s and so forth to calculate it out, and that's what it gave me...although i think i might ahve screwed up in my calculations so I do believe you're right</p>
<p>don't listen to me listen to wahoo2007....made a mistake! lol...sorry bout that....btw nspeds....i've been meaning to ask you...where are you considering transferring to?</p>
<p>nspeds's top choice is Rice, though he's also applying to Yale, and I think Georgetown(??).</p>
<p>I'm at a CCC, and the general grading system is:</p>
<p>A - 90+ - 4.0
B - 80+ - 3.0
C - 70+ - 2.0
D - 50+ - 1.0
F - 49- - 0.0</p>
<p>depending on the professor, this may be curved somewhat. but our transcripts don't have pluses and minuses, it's just letter grades.</p>
