4.0 GPA with a D?

Applying to College

<p>These are my 9th grade grades. My school has 3 semesters:</p>

<p>Term 1: 10 A<em>'s 2A’s. The average is 95%
Term 2: 10 A</em>'s 1A 1D (physics). The average is 91%
Term 3: 10 A*'s 2B’s (raised the physics to a B). The average is 92%</p>

<p>And the overall average is an A<em>. It is a 93% (10A</em>'s 1A 1B).</p>

<p>My school has 90%+ as A*
80%+=A
70%+=B
60%+=C
50%+=D</p>

<p>My question is, does my A* as my average equal to a 4.0 (according to my school’s scale),or is it 93/100 and converted to about a 3.7-3.8?</p>

<p>Each class is counted individually. You don’t just use the average. Your term 2 would be 4x11+2x1=46/12=3.83. Do the same for Term 3. And you really take 12 subjects in school?</p>

<p>@"Erin’s Dad"‌ Thank you very much. And yup, for 9th grade we take 12 subjects, basically every single humanities and science subject offered is obligatory. </p>

<p>Since you raised the score so much, and had an over all A, it shows how you worked at it. Great essay talking about how you overcame the physics D…</p>

<p>@ZBD5421‌ Its just that most of my other grades were 95+, which is what saved me. But thank you very much :)</p>
