Guest viscous Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Well my UofT transcript shows numerical grade (GPA), letter grades and percentages. So I am bit lost which table to follow on this page http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/2008amcasgradeconversionguide.pdf Can anyone help? it seems that if you look on page 3 in table titled 'Five or more Passing grades, alpha +/-', youll find the scheme used by UofT. More specifically, the second row of 'Alpha' grades exactly correspond to the system used by UofT. Should that be used or the last table which actually has written on it 'Numeric- Canadian'?

Guest begaster Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Has anyone confirmed the York conversion scale recently? Seems far too generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mMD Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 queen's offers letter grades as well, but it's the ABCF scale. so... we put in THAT or our letter grades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamesfan Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 yes i think you do... perusing the forum there are 2 potential systems a = 4 b = 3 etc thus anything above 80 is an A OR 87-100 is an 4 80-86 is a 3.7 75-79 3.3 70-74 3.0 most indicate the letter system is used and i sure hope so!

KennethToronto Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 anyone know the hours thing for queens If you were artsci, just enter 0.5 or 1.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Ok guys, this should be the only post clarifying queen's gpa:The letter grade you receive on your transcript as an artsci (ABCF) is the corresponding amcas grade. Therefore, an 82, which appears as an A on the transcript, is converted into an AMCAS A, which corresponds to a 4.0. I witnessed this with my own eyes on my friend's application. Do not follow the 87-100 = A scale - not true. And yes - you put the letter grades in, forget about the percent. Don't be alarmed if when they received your transcript they change what you inputed and replace them with the % grades. If you go on to the print preview for the application, you will see the amcas letter grade, which indeed was the same as the queen's letter grade.

The Queen's 87-100 = A scale works as well as that is what (unfortunately) I did. But if you go to Queen's, enter the A/B/C/D instead - it's a huge advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parachutes Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Does anyone have grades reported as on a 0-9 scale as well as receiving a letter grade? I go to the University of Victoria, and a 9 is A+ 90-100%, 8 is A 85-90%, 7 is A- 80-85%, etc. I just realized AMCAS has the Canadian numerical grade conversion (I was just looking at letter grade conversion before) and it would make my gpa so much lower. Will they look at the numbers and ignore my letter grades? I've tried contacting them but received no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they look at the numbers and ignore my letter grades? I've tried contacting them but received no reply. Call (202) 828 0600 ( I assume EST business hours would be best) and ask the AMCAS specialists; they were really helpful when I was inputting my grades. --- Re Alastriss: have you seen them change it from letter to percent? because my grades get seriously inflated thanks to queen's ABC/F. the transcript DOES say that the grade is the letter and the mark is the percent, and the grade is what they want.

jcmw Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I know the first post has already stated the conversion scale for UBC to AMCAS GPA, but can anyone else confirm if it is true? Also, do they look at the letter grades or the percentage grades to convert the GPA if we have both flavors of grades on our transcripts? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest begaster Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Just confirmed for York: A, A+ = 4.0 B+ becomes an AB = 3.5 I LOVE YORK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamesfan Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I was just verified and the queens system of 80 or above = A is incorrect kenneth toronto you are correct in your system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I was just verified and the queens system of 80 or above = A is incorrect kenneth toronto you are correct in your system They are both correct, You will get put on the 87-100 = A system until you tell them to change it otherwise. 80-100 = A is the scale that stands.

CAS Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Just to add to this, I was verified with my Queen's transcripts a few weeks back: A = 80-100 = 4.0 B = 65-79 = 3.0 C = 50-64 = 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Just to add to this, I was verified with my Queen's transcripts a few weeks back:A = 80-100 = 4.0 B = 65-79 = 3.0 C = 50-64 = 2.0 Is that if you ask them to correct it or how it gets calculated by default?
