khan911 Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 In university of winnipeg for As you get 4.25 and A- you get 4.0. When I apply to medschool im just wondering whether all the classes I got A in (4.25) will be converted to U of Ms scale, so all my As will go from 4.25 to 4.00. Because for some of my classes A+'s are 95%+, where as In University of Manitoba A+'s for the same course is 90%+. If i got 92% on one of the courses, where A+ is 95%+ here at uwinnipeg, thus me getting a A, will it be considered A+ at u of m? or will it just stay at A.

hexonu Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I went to UofM their scale is sometime a headache. I'm not sure if u of winnipeg gives percentages on your transcript but if they do then you have the potential to get A+s at U of M if not then they will go based on your letter grades so an A- or A at the U of W will be equal to 4.00 on the U of M scale. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khan911 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ok thanks. No theres no percentages on the transcript, so I guess im getting screwed over in some of my courses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taboo Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Ok thanks. No theres no percentages on the transcript, so I guess im getting screwed over in some of my courses I have gone to both schools. I was initially disappointed when told that a UW A was only a 4, but overall feel like I made out like a bandit there. If you set out for A's thinking that 4.25 was good enough, then that does suck. If you tried for the A+ and didn't get it, I think UofM would have found away to bring you to a A (or less) for a 4 anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hexonu Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I wouldn't be too worried if you've done well on the MCAT then you'll be able to make up for some lost ground, remember that GPA is only weighted 15% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler123123 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 A good portion of my class (2015) is from UWinnipeg. Do well on your MCAT, and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marul Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm applying as an IP from UoCalgary. Transferred A's and A-'s from there are 4.00. Many of our classes don't have A+ grades and those that do are much like the scenario you've described for UoW (A+'s and A's are both a 4.0 with the UoC system, so some profs don't even bother). Even if you have a percentage grade, I do believe they will use letter grades first (I know for certain that UoC does this). So yes, you'll get 4.00 for all of your A grades. Good luck! Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
