kiwi Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi, Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find anything from using the search function. If I receive a letter grade in a course, how does it convert to %? (e.g. A=85-89 at my school, so what specific percent grade would it be converted to?)

Monica Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 At UBC, as nearly as I can tell, A+ 90 A = 85 A-= 80 B+= 75 B = 70 B- = 67 C+ = 65 C = 60 D = 50 ?? F = ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jixe Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 From what I recall, they use the lowest percentage in each letter grade's percentage range. I think Monica has it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen21 Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 It is school dependent. Scales of conversion are not released by UBC, as stated on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan0105 Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I seem to remember UBC does the low scale too. pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islander Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 It is lame: you get shafted coming from a U that doesn't put % grades on transcripts. A UVic 95% is an A+ and an adcom doesn't know it's 95, so they have to call it 90. Please, UVic gods, put %s on our transcipts to even the playing field.

Elle.86 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hi, I'm new to the thread! I'm a Canadian-American in my third year of Computer Engineering. I go to the University of Washington and my GPA at the moment is around 3.2-3.4 ish. I was wondering, does anyone know how this transfers to a Canadian school because the percentages that are associated with the GPA are different from the Canadian system. A 4.0 (an A) is considered 95% and above, 3.9-3.0 for most courses is about 94-85. Does anyone know if UBC, or any Canadian school will take my GPA as is - 3.2-3.4, or will they convert my grades to percentages and convert them to their school's grading scale. Thanks for the help!

astrodranco Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 UBC will convert your grades to %. If U of W has percentage intervals for grades on the back of their transcript, UBC will take those values. If U of W does not list percentage-to-grade conversions, UBC will simply consider your GPA to be the lowest percentage cut-off for your overall GPA. I.e. any GPA from 3.0 to 3.49 will probably convert to 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
