Madz25 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/2007amcasgradeconversionguide2.pdf Bottom of pg. 4 has a Canadian conversion chart. I didn't follow that and just put in letter grades (my university gave both letter and numerical grades). My AMCAS GPA was the same as my GPA from my undergrad university. Hope this helps.

acemd Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 there are 4 ways to convert from percent to the amcas values, any idea which one, one from uoft would use? since none of them really correspond to uoft's percent--> gpa scale? although that second one their looks mighty generous. 75-83 = 3.7 lol id love that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madz25 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I attended UofT as well - and UofT also gives letter grades. Why not just use your letter grades? Thats what I did and my AMCAS GPA was exactly the same as my UofT GPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hmm, I'm just wondering which one Western students would use. I only get numerical grades (that I'm aware of seeing as I've never looked at an offical transcript). I'm hoping it's not 80-86 is an A-, because that would hurt my GPA. 75-83 would be fantastic! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzy_h2o Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi All.... I applied to US schools this year and my GPA for US schools was much higher than my cumulative OMSAS gpa. I went to WESTERN and my OMSAS gpa was 3.76 yet my US one was 3.9. So, if you went to Western here are the rules: any mark of 80 and over will count as a 4.0 gpa. Sweet!

joshto Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 where did you get that calculation that 80+ is a 4.0 for UWO? or how would you get that for any other school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w...b Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 yea that cant be true.. show some proof. it must be unfare.. its like saying UWO is harder then UofT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Wow lots of conflicting reports. An 80+ is a 4.0?! That would be pretty sweet. A few of my first year marks are exactly 86... that's why I'm checking to see because if 80-86 is a 3.7, then those grades would only be a 3.7.
