jcmw Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Hi All, I'm wondering which conversion scale to use to convert my UBC marks to the AMCAS GPA. First, I saw this scale: http://www.aamc.org/students/amcas/2009conversionguide.pdf where on Page 4, there's a scale for converting Canadian marks. Then I saw the scale posted on one of the stickies, which has the following conversion scale: 85% and up = A/A+ = 4.0 80-84 = A- = 3.7 75-79 = B+ = 3.3 70-74 = B = 3.0 65-69 = B- = 2.7 60-64 = C+ = 2.3 55-59 = C = 2.0 50 - 54 = D = 1.0 below = F = 0 The reason I want to know is because I have been getting a few 85s and 86s, and if I need to use the first scale, then my AMCAS GPA would be severely punished. On the other hand, the 2nd scale here would do me a great favor. Does anyone know which scale is used? Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retsage Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 According to this - http://www.premed101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20901 - it's the one you posted. When you put it into AMCAS, don't put the percentage, put the grade shown on your transcript beside the percentage. If it's an A or A+, it doesn't matter what the corresponding percentage is, it's worth a 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
