If you guys are looking for conversion charts, you should try reading back a few pages.

does anyone know the conversion scale used for uOttawa

[walkonwater]

I found this scale online..and it seems to contradict some of the scales mentioned on the first page. Was there a change in the last few years?

The last scale through that link has a description just titled "Canadian" with 3 different scales. They seem to be different than what has been posted here.

Hey sonyvaio2700, thanks a lot for these conversions. I bet a lot of people, though sometimes it may not seem like it, do appreciate it.

 

I just have one question. Particularly for York. I just called AMCAS and they told me to look under numeric canadian and look at the first column as york is a 9.0 scale.

 

Did you ever encounter that? because then the scale isnt really working towards us at all but yeah. Just wondering.

 

Thanks,

Anyone have experience converting our wonderful UVic Scale?

[milos]

Being York is on a 9.0 and UVic is on a 9.0, I would assume we would use the same scale (first column). This seems remarkably similar to the OMSAS system. I'm also very curious to how to convert my UVic grades properly if I don't get into Canada this year =(

Hey all,

 

For U of T, do we enter our % grade, or do we enter our letter grade?

 

 

Doesn't seem fair since all the other schools have 80+ = 4.0 but that is life

[Comeon]

I entered percents.

[jawn_doe]

I think it's 85+= 4.0, so like A's and A+'s... I haven't been verified yet so I can't say for sure.

Any update on the AMCAS scale for Queen's? Last year it was 80+ = 4.0, but what with the new changes to the GPA system at Queen's I don't really know if that'll be true anymore :\

This is still the case, even with the new GPA system. It was a pleasant surprise

By the new GPA system, do you mean the 4.3 scale that we have now?

 

I'm still skeptical because of all the scales online for 4.0 starting at 84 or 87 (and going to 100).

My transcript lists the percentage grade and the GPA, but no longer lists the letter grade and AMCAS is still using the old 80+ = 4.0 scheme, essentially ignoring the GPA. This might change for Queen's students applying next year because the grades from here on out will no longer have a percentage associated with them

[p76acw]

Does anyone know the conversion for Memorial University of Newfoundland?

[glucose]

Does any have a conversion chart of Ryerson university?

[McGillLabRat]

So anyone from McGill UG with experience applying to America? Did they use the familiar 85% = A formula?

[writergirl333]

anyone know the conversion scale for two?

[t0ny]

Anyone know by any chance the conversion scale for Concordia University?

[jen7362]

Sorry I'm posting a reply to this message. I'm not exactly sure how to add a new message to the thread.

 

Does anyone know how to convert a McMaster GPA to AMCAS?

 

Our marks run from A+, A, A-, B+, B, B -, etc.

 

Reading through this thread it seems an A+ and A = 4.0. Can anyone confirm this?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Albertan10]

does it not say this in the very first page of the thread?

 

....

 

McMaster University:

A and A+ = 4.0

A- = 3.7

B+ = 3.3

B = 3

B- = 2.7

C+ = 2.3

C = 2

D = 1.0

F = 0

[jen7362]

Yes it does. However, I was wondering how they would calculate a C- for example. Unfortunately I got that in first year.

[jen7362]

Also, I wanted to know if anyone could confirm this as the scale (i.e. from McMaster, used this scale, same average verified through AMCAS).

I took organic chemistry last summer online, the transcript does not show it's online. There were online labs as part of the course. Do I enter it as lecture and lab or only lecture . Thank you
