UndecidedMD Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 Just a quick question - For undergrads, MUN uses the following GPA scheme: 80 - 100: A 65 - 79: B 60 - 64: C 50-59: D < 50: F That means that someone with an 80-81% average (as long as they've never gotten below 80) can technically have a 4.0, just as someone with a 90%+ average. When calculating minimum GPAs and cut-offs, does MUN use GPA or % grade? If so, what % grade would be considered competitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PulsusParadoxus Posted June 13, 2018 Report Share Posted June 13, 2018 So yes, for transcript purposes that’s the case, but for a competitive program like medicine having such a wide range of what would be a 4.0 vs 3.0 just doesn’t make sense. Like you say, if that were the case, one could have an 80 average and a 4.0 while somebody could have an average of 90% + and a 4.0 GPA. It’s just not a good comparison (in my opinion). On the admissions website they show a totally different grade conversion chart entirely which you can see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndecidedMD Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thank you for your help! That scale looks a little more in-line with OMSAS. I'm assuming that you would have to convert every single grade to a GPA on the grade scale to find the overall, rather than just taking your overall % average and converting to GPA?
