<p>There are websites that will convert your percentage average mark to GPA, but is there any government official website that gives me my true conversion?
The conversion websites that I found seem to put every 80% or high as 4.0 GPA.</p>
<p>If a Canadian student applies to Harvard, will Harvard convert it for them or do I just say 4.0 GPA if my mark is higher than 80%? Or will they just look at my percentage mark.</p>
<p>That would be unfair because a gpa makes all the 80% to 100% marks look the same meanwhile if I have a 85%, then that shows that I'm not perfect, I don't have 100%.</p>
<p>Any help here?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>As I’m told by my councelor (and they could very well be wrong), your school will mark “N/A” by GPA since Canada doesn’t use GPA, so Harvard will view it as N/A. Meaning, Harvard won’t look at your average as a GPA, they’ll look at it as an average (percentage) that is approximately equal to a certain GPA area. For example, most college boards use this chart in “at glance approximating your GPA”:</p>
<p>A+ (97-100): 4.0
A (93-96): 4.0
A- (90-92): 3.7
B+ (87-89): 3.3
B (83-86): 3.0
B- (80-82): 2.7</p>
<p>and so on. My rule of thumb is basically a 93 and up is good enough for Ivy. If you have that, they don’t really care what your GPA is–they know your up there with the rest of the applicants. :)</p>
