Is this really my GPA?

I think for a proper conversion you would have to take each letter grade and plug it into an average on the 4.0 scale. That would probably yield a higher GPA.

For example, if half of your grades are 100s and the other half are 90s, you would have a GPA of 95. But on the 4.0 scale it would be (4.0+3.67)/2 = 3.83.

If all of your grades are 95s, then you would have a GPA of 95 and a 4.0.
