Gpa

Does anyone know if 100% GPA means 4.5 or 4.0 in UBC? It seems that very school is different.

Table 1 is used for institutions that award an A+; Table 2 is used for institutions that do not.

This is not the answer that I'm looking for. For example, in UBC, does 100% mean 4 or 4.5?

UBC uses percentage. 100% means 100% not 4.5 or 4.0.

Just for clarification:

 

UBC uses percentages in the evaluation process.

 

If your transcript has a percentage, this is the value that they will use for your evaluation.

 

If your transcript has a letter grade, it will be converted to a percentage using the table that was posted.

thats based on the school youre applying to, every school has a different conversion system. no one will be able to answer u since youre question is worded kinda dumb.

At UBC, 100% means 100%... what the percentage is converted to is going to depend on the receiving school, which you already stated.

 

If you're looking for what UBC (specifically, UBC Medicine) "interprets" a percentage GPA for a UBC student as in terms of grade points (I doubt they do this at all, they seem to use percentages), that conversion chart for applicants from other institutions is probably as close as it gets.
