hope- I can not imagine your counselor is correct. What school district is your school in? I would like to look up the GPA policy in the district (or you can do it). I have seen all sorts of grading scales before, but I have never seen the one she showed you. The most common is the 90-100 is 4.0, or A is 4.0. Next common is the +/- that divides that number up even more.

I would tell you to calculate yourself and just submit that, but if they do ask for validation from your school, it could be a problem. You could also call the scholarship group and verify with them if it is OK for you to recalculate your GPA yourself.

What % did your GC give you? Was it 95%? There has not been a single grading scale that would put you at a 3.5 with 95% average. That would be more like a 85-89 average.
