Understanding my 3.4 GPA

Hi. I've recently calculated my GPA to be 3.4, but I'm not sure what that means percentage-wise. Any idea on what percentage this GPA reflects?

Hello! I'm glad you inquired. Your GPA number is most likely on a 4.0 scale, which is commonly used in the U.S. educational system. When translating this to a percentage scale, a GPA of 3.4 generally corresponds to an average grade of around 87%-89%. However, be aware that there isn't a universally accepted conversion scale, and some schools may use different methods to translate GPA to a percentage. Your school or prospective college's specific grading policies would give you the most accurate conversion. I hope this answer provides some clarity for you!
