Medhopefulatubc Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 This might be a dumb question but does the number of credits for a course affect the gpa calculation at UBC. For example is a 95% in a 4 credit course the same as a 95% in a 2 credit course when calculated as a percent average. In gpa calculations, an A- in a 2 credit course will drop your gpa much less than in a 4 credit course. Or do they just add all the percent of courses and divide by the number of courses?

Coldery Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I believe they weight the courses according to the number of credits they are worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
this_process_is_death Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Number of credits affects the gpa calculation for UBC. eg: a grade in a 4 credit course is worth twice as much as the same grade in a 2 credit course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NothingButNetters Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 https://www.grad.ubc.ca/faculty-staff/admin-resources-templates/gpa-calculators theres an Excel calculator where you can plug in your marks and see how they change your GPA. Just use the percentage conversion table UBC uses to convert letter grades to %. But yes, the credit weighting is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a school does not give A+, theoretically even if someone had a 4.0 aGPA, the converted UBC GPA would be 92%, and the maximum AQ score this applicant could get is around 33-34/50. Could someone confirm maybe? Thank you! Yup, I think that sounds about right. It’s too bad the scaling is like that, but that’s still a very good AQ score!
