Hey, guys! I was wondering how to convert my 3.5 GPA to a 100 scale? I'm a bit lost on how to convert it correctly. Any advice would be amazing, thanks!
Hello! Converting a GPA to a 100-point scale is fairly straightforward. The process can vary slightly depending on whether your 3.5 GPA is on a weighted or unweighted scale, but I'll provide a general guideline for you.
Assuming you have an unweighted GPA of 3.5 out of 4.0, you can use the following formula to convert it:
(Your GPA / Maximum GPA) x 100
In your case:
(3.5 / 4.0) x 100 = 0.875 x 100 = 87.5
So, your 3.5 GPA converts to approximately an 87.5 on a 100-point scale.
If you have a weighted GPA, you'll need to adjust the maximum GPA accordingly. For instance, if your maximum weighted GPA is 5.0:
(3.5 / 5.0) x 100 = 0.7 x 100 = 70
In this case, your 3.5 GPA would convert to a 70 on a 100-point scale. Be sure to use the correct maximum GPA value based on your school's system for an accurate conversion. Good luck!
