Usa Gpa Calculation

[medloverm]

Hi, 

 

So I go to UWO and I've been hearing from people pretty much an 80%+ average is 4.0 on the AMCAS scale. I'm not too sure how true this is. I was wondering how do you calculate from a UWO percentage system to USA AADSAS GPA scale? Anyone know? Is it true your GPA increases?

3.7 = A-

4.0 = A

4.33 = A+

 

You can find it by searching google.

Based on firesinx's GPA-letter grade equivalencies, an 80%-89% at Western would be a 4.0 in the United States; which I believe is simply because Western considers a grade between 80%-89% as 'A'. http://www.registrar.uwo.ca/student_records/transcripts/grading_scalegpa_conversion.html

 

We don't have 'A-'

 

Hope this helps

Thanks! But all the high 70s become 3.0? Since our scale says 70-79% is B? 

 

Hahahaha Go Stangs!

I guess that's the trade-off Nonetheless, we have it quite well given our conversion chart! 79=3.0, 80=4.0 .. Just beg for that 1% (or better yet work for it!!)
