I have currently a 93.5% GPA, and I think the highest in my grade will be around high 94 to low 95. Roughly estimating, I’d guess I’ll finish around 5th to 8th with my GPA.
<p>I have a 4.022W, and I'm ranked 24. The highest GPA is like a 4.25.</p>
<p>what's your uw? and i'm more interested in people's % than their 3.x or 4.x converted grades.</p>
<p>My school doesn't do % grades on our transcripts...we take down a letter grade only, which gets translated into GPA points on a 4-point scale. I've got a 4.57 weighted, I think I'm currently tied for first in my class.</p>
<p>oh, that's pretty sweet, you don't have to fret over 1 or 2 percent points.</p>
<p>I have a 3.7-3.8UW</p>
<p>We too don't have percentage points just the simple letter grade... which bugs me- a 104% is not the same as a 89.5.</p>
<p>I think I've got a 3.94 or 3.92 u/w... I've only gotten two Bs... everything in our school is done weighted though and I have a 4.6ish.</p>
<p>Oh, and the highest has straight As so she has a 4.0 uw. She has not taken the number of weighted courses that I have so her weighted is in the 4.6ish as well just a little higher then mine.</p>
<p>what is the most conventional way of calculating one's gpa on a four point scale? at our school this system has never been mentioned.</p>
<p>Here's the laziest way to convert from a percentage to a 4.0 scale, without manually adding up all the grades.</p>
<p>F is the 4.0 scale (i.e. 3.6)
P is the percentage GPA (i.e. 92)</p>
<p>F = P/10 - 5.5
P = 10 * F + 55</p>
<p>Using this formula, the first poster's GPA would be a 3.85 (= 93.5%).</p>
<p>Me = 3.9583 Uw (from Last Year; Got All A's First Semester So Won't Change Too Much)</p>
<p>Highest = 4.0uw</p>
<p>i thoughts the 4-point scale gave 4's to all A's, no matter what the percentage. So an A would be 4, while a B is 3, then to get the GPA, you add up all the numbers you got for your classes and then divide by the number of classes you have.</p>
<p>if you use the formula F= (P/10) - 5.5, then a person with a GPA % over 95% will end up with a grade higher than 4, and I thought that was impossible.</p>
<p>I have a 3.98 uw gpa and that puts me at 1</p>
<p>Our gpa scale is pretty weird, I've copied it straight from the handbook.</p>
<p>My percentage unweighted is a 92% and my gpa unweighted is a 3.217, which seems pretty low to me.</p>

<p>It depends on the school. Hence, I called it the "laziest way."</p>
<p>Many schools count "pluses and minuses" as part of the GPA. For instance, my school counts B+ = 3.333, A- = 3.667, A+ = 4.333.</p>
<p>The formula will give you a good approximation, but you need to calculate the grades from your transcript for the exact value.</p>
<p>watch this guys... the highest is 5.01 in my class. 5.00 shared by 2 persons. my gpa is 4.32 rank 65/488. but if i get straight As i will have rank 53 best</p>
<p>my school.... no +'s and -'s..
so... A= 4 , B = 3 , C = 2 etc. and we dont weigh or rank. </p>
<p>I have a 3.92, Highest is 4.0.</p>
<p>How do you compare the 4.0 scale between schools of vastly differing methods of measurements? Some schools call 86%+ an A, while others are more or less strict.</p>
<p>86? lol...
93 in my county was a B+, 3.5.</p>
<p>colleges look at your letter grades and the grading scale your school uses, and convert it to a scale that they have chosen to compare grades on. You can't compare when some schools weight 1 or 2 pts for classes (and how many classes are weighted) and some schools weight none or only .5.</p>
<p>My school only weights AP classes (no Honors classes) so the highest GPA is around a 4.4 (1600, 800/800/800, Stanford bound kid, who is the first person in our high school history to take every single available AP course).</p>
<p>I have moved up to a 4.1 weighted over the last semester, which is 5/417.</p>
