Hi, I currently have a 94 average, and I'm trying to understand how this would translate into the GPA scale. How do I convert my average to GPA on a 4.0 scale?
To convert a 94 to a GPA on a 4.0 scale, you'll need to determine the most appropriate conversion method used by your high school, as different schools may have slightly different scales. However, a common conversion method utilizes the following letter grade to GPA conversion:
- A+ or A: 4.0
- A-: 3.7
- B+: 3.3
- B: 3.0
- B-: 2.7
- C+: 2.3
- C: 2.0
- C-: 1.7
- D+: 1.3
- D: 1.0
- D-: 0.7
- F: 0
Using this scale, a 94 falls within the A-range, which corresponds to a 4.0 GPA. Keep in mind that this conversion is a simplification, and may not be the exact method used by your high school or the colleges to which you apply.
I'd advise you to confirm with your high school counselor about the specific GPA conversion scale used by your school to ensure accurate conversion of your numerical average. But overall, your 94 should still correspond to a strong performance on the 4.0 scale!
