<p>In Canada the grading system goes something like this </p>
<p>0%-49% F
50%-61% C-
62%-67% C
68%-73% C+
74%-86% B
87%-100% A</p>
<p>If I where to apply to NYU Stern would they convert the my grades to the American Grade system, by this I mean if I had a 88% here in Canada(which would be counted as a A) would Stern make that into a B+</p>
<p>That’s a rather specific question, you’d probably find your answer by calling personally and asking ^__^</p>
<p>Probably should but I really don’t want to wait until the morning</p>
<p>Well not all American grading systems are the same either. For example, some schools grade on a “10 point scale” and others on a “6 point scale.” I don’t think that they’ll convert your grades; they’ll probably see how you did compared to your school’s respective standards. I’m pretty sure your counselor sends in a copy of your school’s grade scale :)</p>
<p>In my county in Virginia, from K-10, the grading scale looked like:
A+ 100
A 99-94
A- 93
B+ 92
B 91-86
B- 85
C+ 84
C 83-78
C- 77
D+ 76
D 75-71
D- 70
F 69-0</p>
<p>Now, in grades 11-12, my county has adopted a new system:
A+ 100-98
A 97-93
A- 92-90
B+ 89-87
B 86-83
B- 82-80
C+ 79-77
C 76-74
C- 73-71
D+ 70-68
D 67-65
D- 64-62
F 61-0</p>
<p>I personally liked the old grading system as it forced me to work harder to earn those A’s, and ever since my county has adopted the new system, I’ve slacked off as I no longer have to try as hard to earn A’s, and some of my grades have suffered as a result (more B’s than I would normally get).</p>
<p>My parish (Louisiana resident) grades like this:</p>
<p>A: 100-93
B: 92-86
C: 85-77
D: 76-69
F: 68-0</p>
<p>WOW, are you joking or is that real</p>
<p>Just a question but are grading systems different in different parts of America and if their is does anyone know what it is for NY</p>
<p>Hi, i’m a Canadian at stern. They’ll take ur grades using the Canadian system. So basically 86 average puts u in an A. But i do believe universities will curve ur grades depending on the reputation of your high school</p>
