<p>Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding GPA. I go to the best public school in my state and it uses below 70 as failing instead of the normal below 65. For this reason the GPA scale is different. For instance I have a 88 GPA and at my school it is equivalent to a 3.0 but correct me if i’m wrong at most other schools that would be around a 3.5. Will the admissions officers look at that as a 3.0 or a 3.5? I’m looking to apply to the University of Miami and i’m wondering if anyone has specific knowledge of this, at this school.</p>
<p>You will be evaluated according to the grading policy at your school. I would recommend that you see your GC and obtain a copy of your school profile that they send to the college. This is what the colleges will be looking at when evaluating your application.</p>
