Hi everyone, I've been looking at my high school grades and I've got an 89 average. I'm not too sure what that translates to in GPA. If anyone can give me a rough estimate, I'd really appreciate it!
Hello! The GPA conversion can vary depending on your school's specific approach, but generally, an 89 average would usually translate to a GPA somewhere around a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.
Here's a basic scale that might help you understand this better:
- A (90–100) = 4.0
- B (80–89) = 3.0
- C (70–79) = 2.0
- D (60–69) = 1.0
- F (<60) = 0.0
So an 89 overall average would be at the high end of a 'B' on this scale, hence around 3.3. However, please remember that this is simply an approximation and the exact number can vary.
Additionally, colleges often recalculate GPAs based on their own scale and methodology, so you may want to focus on continuing to receive strong grades and demonstrating growth in your coursework rather than worrying too much about the exact numerical conversion. Hope this helps!
