<p>i was just wondering if all universities have different policies regarding the gpa.</p>

<p>for example: my school
A - 86 and over gpa:4.0
B - 74 and over gpa:3.0
C+ - 68 and over gpa:2.5
C - 60 and over gpa:2.0
C- - 50 and over gpa:1.5</p>

<p>another school that my friend goes to
A- 80 and over gpa 4.0
B- 70 and over gpa 3.0
C- 60 and over gpa 2.0
D- 50 and over gpa 1.0</p>

<p>let’s say we both got 82 on math 12, i would have a B, and my friend would have an A. the marks we get would make a vast difference in our gpa.</p>

<p>do universities their own GPA chart for their admission standards?
(because, when we send our transcripts, the GPA would already show up on them) its not fair…:(</p>

<p>One last question.
in my school, the school year is divided into 2 semesters, and i took 3 courses in the first sem, and 5 courses in the second sem.</p>

<p>my gpa was 3.333 for 1st sem, and 3.600 for 2nd sem.
but since i took more courses in sem 2, the GPA for the WHOLE YEAR is 3.5.
unfortunately, my transcript dont show GPA for the whole year, only gpa for each sem.</p>

<p>what if universities add up gpa for both sem, and divide it by two…?
that would make my gpa 3.467. even though there isnt much difference, i’m just wondering. </p>

<p>OMG that was long…please accept my apology…
anyhow, i would greatly appreciate for any help :)</p>

<p>Colleges look at each school differently. Don’t worry, they’ll be fair.</p>

<p>(And actually, you should consider yourself lucky, because out here, you have to have 90+ to get an A).</p>

<p>wow
grade inflation much?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure on a normal scale it goes
90+ = A (4.0)
80+ = B (3.0)
70+ = C (2.0)
60+ = D (1.0)
<60 = F (0.0)</p>

<p>im confused when schools begin making low 2.5’s into 4.0’s. A college would burn the GPA up and calculate a completely fresh one on their own. I know if I was an adcom I’d refuse to even look at the transcript till they translated it into legible academic language</p>

<p>Do you go to school in America? That way of doing grades seems wack to me.</p>

6

<p>i go to a school in canada :)</p>

7

<p>Actually, it seems like a very difficult course to me. Perhaps they need to lower the requirements for an A because students rarely score that high.</p>

<p>93.5=A, 4.0
89.5=A-, 3.67
85.5(?)=B+, 3.33
79.5=B, 3.0</p>

<p>And so on…That’s how it is at my school. Average grade is usually in the B range, maybe?</p>

9

<p>At my school, it’s
A+(97+): 4.00
A(94-96): 4.00
A-(90-93): 3.67
B+(87-89): 3.33
B(84-86): 3.00
B-(80-83): 2.67
And so on.</p>
