Strange GPA calculation - how to convert to ND system

So my school (Western Michigan UNiversity) calculates the GPA on the 4.0 scale but they get rid of the +/- scale and do it a little differently.

4.0 = A
3.5 = BA
3 = B
2.5 = CB
2.0 = C
1.5 = CD
1.0 = D
0 = F

It screws stuff up a little mostly b/c some of my classes i would be getting a A- (.3.66) on the normal scale - lets say i have a 90 in the class, but i actually only get a 3.5. so the GPA tends to be a little depreciated. I am trying to transfer to ND and i know they go on the A,A-,B+, etc. system. How do you think they would be going about with calculating my GPA? I emailed admin a week ago and have not heard back??? I Just want to get an idea of where i will stand. I have all BA and A in my classes so i am not worried - should stand above a 3.7 but curiosity more then anything. anyone know?
