you shouldn’t concern yourself with scaling

U.S. schools also have that /100 scale. You should just report your 95% “gpa,” and your school will send the official transcript. Admissions officers will interpret the results according to their own system.

This is primarily in place because every school weighs gpas different. For example, my school weighs Ap courses +.4 on the 4.0 scale, but my friend’s school weights Ap courses +2.0…Therefore she has like…a 4.7 GPA while I have a 4.1…but we take essentially the same courses.
