So I went into my counselor’s office in order to figure out how she calculated my GPA. Apparently, my school district calculates it differently that the typical collegiate scale. The scale goes:
100 = 4.0
99 = 3.9
98 = 3.8 and goes on down from there. She said that most colleges are using this scale now. Her example was UTD. My brother goes to Texas Tech and his grades go by the basic collegiate scale. Does anyone know if a lot of colleges are using this scale? Will using this scale hurt my chances of getting a scholarship or is this scale pretty universal?
