GPA Calculation on a 4.0 Scale

I've been seeing this 4.0 scale tossed around, but I'm used to a 100 point grading system at my school. Could anyone explain how I can calculate my GPA out of 4?

It can be tricky to convert from a percentage-based grading system to a 4.0 scale, but here's a rough guide for how you might go about it:

- For any class in which you received a grade of 93% or higher, count that as a 4.0.

- For a grade between 90 and 92.99%, that would be approximately a 3.7.

- Grades of 87-89.99% correlate to roughly a 3.3.

- A grade between 83 and 86.99% would be around a 3.0.

- Grades of 80-82.99% correlate to around a 2.7.

- And so on, decreasing by about 0.3 for each set of three percent down you go until you reach less than 60%, which would be 0.0.

You get your GPA by adding up these converted scores and then dividing by the total number of classes. So, if you had three classes with grades of 98%, 82%, and 75%, you'd turn those into 4.0, 2.7, and 2.0. Add those up to get 8.7, divide by 3 (since you have three classes), and you get a GPA of about 2.9.

Please remember that different schools and programs may use slightly different scales, so this is just a general guide. It's always a good idea to speak with your guidance counselor or check with the specific institution to which you're applying in order to understand their preferred method of GPA calculation.
