Hey folks, In my final semester, my grades have been averaging out to around an 89. How might this translate into a GPA? I'm a bit lost on how to do the conversion. Thanks for the help!
Hi there!
GPA, or Grade Point Average, is a numerical representation of your academic performance. Converting from percentage to GPA isn't an exact science, since different schools may use different scales. A commonly used scale in the United States, however, is a 4.0 scale.
On this scale, an A, or anything above 90%, equals 4.0. Meanwhile, anything between an 80%-89% would be a B and represents a GPA between 3.0-3.9. Given your 89 average, by this scale, you're likely hovering around a GPA of 3.7 to 3.9.
Please remember, this is a general guide. Your school might use a plus/minus system (like A-, B+, etc.), which could alter these calculations a bit. It's always a good idea to confirm with your guidance counselor or your school's specific policy to get the most accurate conversion.
Good luck with your final semester!
