<p>I’ll apply to it, but I’m probably not getting in. Which programs are you applying to?</p>
<p>HCSSiM and Promys are my top choices, though I doubt my chances for both. I’m also applying to that physics program and one or two local programs/internships.</p>
<p>@TeamRocket- what biochem programs are you applying to?</p>
<p>What are your GPA’s for the first quarter?
And at your school, is 97 considered an A or an A+? And is a 92 an A- or an A?</p>
<p>@imhkim I think I got like a 3.57 unweighted. The A+/A- thing is different for every teacher at my school. Some don’t even use the +/-. The highest requirement for an A+ I’ve seen at my school is a 99.5 and the lowest A- I’ve seen is 89.45.</p>
<p>101.4, but weighted…probably a 96 or 97 unweighted boo ):</p>
<p>@imhkim - 92 and 97 are both As at my school! But we calculate based on numbers so the 5 point difference is pretty significant.</p>
<p>At my school, 97 is an A and a 92 is an A-</p>
<p>At my school 93-100 is an A. And the school board said that if we switched to a ten point scale, then we would have A+, A-, and A.</p>
<p>My school goes by the ten point scale. 97+ is an A+. We don’t do numbers here, only GPA; I just calculated my cumulative number average, and I have a 99 UW. School doesn’t weigh.</p>
<p>Yeah, i dont know how to calculate my unweighted GPA but mine is 4.1 (weighted). Schools around mine have 92 as an A and 97 as an A+ and i thought that it was really unfair since a 92 is an A- and a 97 is an A at my school. </p>
<p>It’s actually so funny how most of the scales are different for each schools but colleges consider GPA to be really important.</p>
<p>^I’m pretty sure colleges consider GPA in terms of your school, though…some go as far as completely recalculating it (e.g. Berkeley, LA, other UC schools).</p>
<p>97 is an A
92 is a B+
I got 4.0
We don’t do percents.</p>
<p>Oh… but what if your school isnt like very well known to the colleges?
And i had no idea that the UC’s recalculated the gpa’s hahah
I just hope my grades are good enough… half of my grades are A-'s and just one A plus. It’s so frustrating how I needed just 0.4 and 0.3 more to get A pluses. darrnn. </p>
<p>92 is a b plus? omg! hey but thats pretty good!</p>
<p>I forgot the specific word for it, but high schools send the colleges information about their school (the courses offered, special weighting, AP scores, etc. - I believe GPAs are in there as well). So, your biggest competitors are your peers at school. Yep, I saw somewhere (NY Times article I think?) that UCs recalculate GPAs! ^.^</p>
<p>My school doesn’t do A, A-, A+ etc but we have a 7 point scale
It’s so annoying sigh. I have a cumulative 4.0 unweighted and 5.0 weighted GPA as of right now, will be a 5.125 if I get all As this year
(A in standard class = 4.0, A in honors class = 5.0, A in AP class = 6.0)</p>
<p>Just found out that three of the programs I planned to apply to are impossible for me since I don’t attend a NYC school. Catchinginfinity, you might be interested:</p>
<p>[CEYE</a> Summer Program Applications - Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai](<a href=“http://icahn.mssm.edu/education/center-for-multicultural-and-community-affairs/programs-and-activities/education-pipeline-programs/ceye-summer-program-applications]CEYE”>http://icahn.mssm.edu/education/center-for-multicultural-and-community-affairs/programs-and-activities/education-pipeline-programs/ceye-summer-program-applications)</p>
<p>That sounds so awesome but I don’t live in NYC. /:</p>
<p>Does anyone know how to accurately calculate a percentage to a 4.0 scale?</p>
<p>Depends on your school.</p>
