Does Western us the OMSAS to convert grades?

[Guest jughead09]

If so, do I simply use the OMSAS conversion table to find my GPA? I am asking this because up until now, I thought that the GPA I had from undergrad is the same GPA Western is looking at. I then talked with someone and they said that Western converts GPAs. If that's the case, I have no clue what my "new" GPA is.

 

thanks

The answer to your question is YES.

 

I was told by Trish about this.

I think you can go to OMSAS website to find the conversion table.

Hey Jughead09,

I'm pretty sure that western doesn't even look at GPAs, instead they use the actual numerical value. I could be wrong though.

If your school does not report grades numerically, I think UWO uses the OMSAS conversion scale somehow to make it that way.

Interesting.....my school does in fact only send letter grades. So, according to the conversion table, I end up with a slightly higher GPA than I had thought. How is this possible, am I doing something wrong?
