How Do I Calculate My Wgpa For Bc


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I see they do OGPA and AGPA

 

I will be applying after a second year MSc, so do they just look at my AGPA?

 

2nd year - 3.78 

3rd year - 3.91

4th year - 4.0

 

9 A-    4 A     17 A+

 

How do I calculate my gpa (% wise) and then my AQ?

 

Thanks!

First off, does your transcript have %'s or just Letter grades /GPA's?

These grade conversion chart are used.

Then you convert each individual grade, and with the appropriate credit weighting.

Try it out in Excel, and then come back if you are still confused and I'd be happy to help.

They also drop your lowest year(up to a maximum of 30 credits aka 5 full year courses, or 10 half year courses), if you completed 120 credits minimum (thus having at least 90 credits remaining).  For the lowest year, if you have more than 30 credits, they take the lowest 30.

If your classes were all the same weight, your UBC % score would be about 90%. Give or take if you have some classes weighted more than others.

If your MSc had graded coursework, then your classes from that would also be considered.

Ah okay thats what I worked out on my handy calculator ~90%

 

And ah thats nice to know - so I am also evaluated on my MSc and must perform well eh?

 

Also if I applied with around a ~90% AGPA and strong EC's do I have a shot as an OOP applicant?

You certainly have a shot. A 90% GPA is strong enough at almost any school. It'll come down to ECs (which as an OOP at UBC must be stellar to receive an invite). Definitely worth applying.
