athledemic Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I know this has been asked before but I haven't be able to find a concrete answer. How do Laval, UdeM and Sherb convert a McGill GPA on a 4.0 scale to their 4.3 scale? Is an A at McGill a 4.3 at those schools or just a 4.0 (which would suck ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1b1 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I assume they would take the % grade for your courses and convert them using the following. 80-84.9 = A- = 3.7 85-89.9 = A = 4.0 >90 = A+ = 4.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athledemic Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 McGill doesn't release percentage grades...at all. No one knows if their A is because they got an 84.5% in a course or a 99% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arztin Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 For example, you have a GLOBAL GPA of 3.7 at McGee Univ Laval does this following conversion. 3.7 / 4.0 = x / 4.33 x is your laval GPA after that, they look it up in their cote R Laval grill according to your gpa out of 4.33 and your programme UdeM too, and Sherbrooke too (supposedly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have time to start converting every single grade. And also, as athledemic says, McGill, as well as most universities only have the letter grades (A B C ...) on the transcript, and it's the ONLY document being sent between universities. Therefore, they have no interest in knowing the single grades in every single class because they don't have the standard deviation in every single class, and if they did, again, they won't have time to start playing with the % grades. McGill doesn't release percentage grades...at all. No one knows if their A is because they got an 84.5% in a course or a 99% Edit: would be great too if you ban they people who advertise Invisalign on UdeM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.__. Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I'd like to revive this post plz hahah Does anyone know how it works at UdeM? Is it like a 4.0 at mcgill = 4.3 at UdeM and whatever that is under 4.0 at mcgill stays the same at UdeM (ex.: 3.7 Mcgill = 3.7 Udem, but 4.0 Mcgill = 4.3 Udem) ? Can someone who went through it tell me plz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would my 4.0 at Concordia be a 4.0 at McGill? Going from ConU to McGill is as follows: Any classes you had 4.3s in become 4.0s. And any classes you had 4.0s in become 3.9s. And then they recalculate your overall GPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys know how McGill's scale is converted to the 4.3 scale (at UdeM for example) ? Let's say I have the following grades, will they be converted like this?: B ---> B A ---> A+ A- --> A- A ---> A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verified this with admissions today and it also states it in their workbook document (PDF). It has always been stated on this form that a 4.0 at Concordia is a 3.9 at McGill, but just so every one knows officially: McGill will only take the LETTER grade at Concordia, not the numerical GPA grade. This means that an A+ (4.3) and an A (4.0) at Concordia is a 4.0 at McGill. After that, everything is equivalent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
