On my latest transcript, my GPA is 84.967 or something. WTF is that on the 4.0 scale? HALP.
4.0 scale...help!

That seems like a FAIL on their behalf.
But maybe it's a percentage? 84 is a B, which is a 3.0.
Oh. Then what's a 3.5?
A- I *think*.
Mine does that too, my GPA is a 16.75? xDDDDDD
Depends how the university does it since each GP value is assigned differently. Where I go, it is a 4.0 scale and an A- is a 80-84. 85+ is an A, the highest mark, ergo a 4.0.
Wow. That is a strange way to state GPA. My high school kept it simple.Originally Posted by The Summoner of Leviathan
It's about a 3.4 unweighted.
Weighted, it depends on your Honors/AP classes. Those would be judged on a 5.0 scale.
Gah...you mean I might have to configure this differently for every university I apply to? Why can't we all just have one simple system >.<
Usually they want your GPA, which means you be like
GPA: 4.12 (4.00 unweighted)
on your resume, or something.
Usually the universities figure it out for themselves. Or that is how it was for me, but Canadian universities might be different.
Just send them your transcript with the 100-point scale. They'll do the conversion themselves most of the time.
Because schools like yours use weird systems that aren't on a 4.0 scale.
Mine did that too. My grade on my transcript from HS is like:
99 (93 unweighted)
SMU's system is far easier than any of that O_o.
QPA/credit hours taken = GPA
Each letter grade is worth a varying degree of 3 QPA. D = 3, C = 6, B = 9, A = 12, and a +/- .9 for +/- grades, C- = 5.1, A+ = 12.9. Each half year course is 3 credit hours, each full year course is 6 credit hours, so if you get all A+ on 6 half year course you get a GPA of 4.3 (12.9*6/18), which is the highest achievable at my university.
