Re: What Do Colleges Look At For GPA
Well you want to know what do colleges look at for GPA so here I am giving you some information about it- There are three prevailing grading systems: The 4.0 scale The percentile system Letter grade methods Many colleges set a 3.0 as a baseline for freshman and transfer admission, though they might still consider students with lower GPAs. The 4.0 standard in the college admission process The 4.0 system has become the standard at most colleges, and many high schools have adopted this GPA scale as well. Teachers typically award a letter grade, which is then translated into a scaled score. This score is multiplied by the amount of credits the course is worth. A cumulative (total) GPA is then arrived at. Translating your GPA scale If you're looking for college admissions assistance with comparing your GPA, here is a common method for translating grades from one scale to another: A+ = 4.0 = 97-100 A = 4.0 = 94-100 A– = 3.7 = 90-93 B+ = 3.3 = 87-89 B = 3.0 = 84-86 B– = 2.7 = 80-83 C+ = 2.3 = 77-79 C = 2.0 = 74-76 C– = 1.7 = 70-73 D+ = 1.3 = 67-69 D = 1.0 = 64-66 D– = 0.7 = 60-63 F = 0.0 = 0-59 Converting 4.3 to 4.0 GPA If you're looking to convert a 4.3 GPA scale to a 4.0 GPA scale, here's some information that might be useful. According to a 4.3 grade scale, the following numbers translate to the following letters: A+ = 4.3 GPA A = 4 GPA A- = 3.7 GPA B+ = 3.3 GPA B = 3 GPA B- = 2.7 GPA C+ = 2.3 GPA C = 2 GPA C- = 1.7 GPA D+ = 1.3 GPA D = 1 GPA D- = 0.7 GPA F = 0 GPA |
