<p>What's the grading scale in YOUR HS?</p>
<p>mine.
94-100 A
90-93 B+
84-89 B
and so on</p>
<p>I'm freaking out because there is a very very good chance that I might get like B+s in my AP courses........ AHHHH (junior)</p>
<p>Mine is on a numerical scale, because its an IB school. Here are the numbers with the GPA equivalent the schools assigns them. </p>
<p>7 - 4.3
6 - 4.0
5 - 3.3
4 - 2.8
3 - 2.0
2 - 1.2
1 - 0.75</p>
<p>anyone else?</p>
<p>any comments on my grades?....</p>
<p>We can't really tell you much because we don't know what school you're going to. But your GC will send a profile of the school, including grading system, to all the colleges you apply to. </p>
<p>If you're doing well within the context of your school, you shouldn't have too much to worry about, but again, without knowing what school you're at and what schools you're applying to, we can't do much.</p>
<p>97-100=A+
93-96=A
90-92=A-
87-89=B+
83-86=B
80-82=B-</p>
<p>And so forth..</p>
<p>Well, we have different scales...
For hnrs, reg, classes, it's:
A= 93-100
B= 85-92
C= 76-84
D= 69-75
F= 68 and lower...
Then, for AP maths and sciences, we run on the ten pt scale.</p>
<p>ours was
A=90-100
B=80-89
C=70-79
etc</p>
<p>then AP classes were weighted (so an A in an AP class was 5.0, a B was 4.0, etc) and honors were as well (A=4.5, B=3.5). Although it sounds like it was easy to keep high grades, the grading was notoriously rigorous, and so the lowest GPA in the top decile was about a 4.3 my senior yr.</p>
<p>93.5-100= 4.0 A
89.5-93.44= 3.5 B+
83.5-89.44= 3.0 B
79.5-83.44=2.5 C+
73.5-79.44=2.0 C</p>
<p>I dont know the rest</p>
<p>98-100= A+
93-97= A
90-92=A-</p>
<p>And it keeps going down in that order until you hit 59 and below which is an F</p>
<p>93-100 A, 4.0
85-93 B, 3.0
75-85 C, 2.0
70-74 D, 1.0
<70 F, 0.0</p>
<p>With weighting:
+ 1.0 for AP classes (A-D)
+ 0.5 for certain accelerated classes (A-D)
No weight for non-AP Math or Foreign Language classes.</p>
<p>I have a 4.6 - more or less the maximum possible given scheduling conflicts and "core" class restraints.</p>
<p>my school is exactly like pilebay's...we don't have any weighting either..</p>
<p>My school is like Econ Major's...except we don't get any extra weight for honors...just a 5.0 for an A in an AP Class.</p>
<p>94-100 A
90-93.9 A-
88-89.9 B+
84-87.9 B
80 - 83.9 B-
78-79.9 C+
74- 77.9 C
70-73.9 C-
68-69.9 D+
64-67.9 D
60-63.9 D-
0-59.9 E</p>
<p>No weighted GPA, only unweighted.</p>
<p>so if my school doesn't provide ranks (only decile i think)
how would the adcoms take into account that my school weights grades by adding .5 ONLY to AP classes (to the final year grade)?</p>
<p>100 - A+
96-99 - A
94, 95 - A-
89-93 - B+
86-88 - B
85-82 - B-
81-79 - C+
78, 77 - C
76-74 - C-
73, 72 - D+
71 - D
70 - D-
69 or lower - F</p>
<p>Does the grading scale depend on where you live in? or....</p>
<p>Ours is the classic 90-100 A, etc....</p>
<p>But GPAs are based on the actual percent.</p>
<p>wow, that's not good.. lol</p>
<p>man i wish my school was 90-100...</p>
<p>also, how do adcoms know if a school is challenging or not?</p>
<p>They look @ your school profile.</p>
<p>We don't do GPAs with the 4 pts, so its useless to be able to say you have an A. An A isn't really an A anymore...it's a number, like 93, or something. So adcoms can see what you really got, and more than likely pick out things (unlike the 4pt system, where they really don't know where you fall in the range)</p>
<p>If you NEED (and I mean NEED) a 4.0 scale GPA, they just divide your GPA by 4 and then multiply by 100). So you can only get a 4.0 if you have a 100.</p>
<p>my HS give like letter grades for each subject
then overall GPA on 4.0 scale</p>
