GPA Conversion

[eober]

Hi,

85-100% is equal to 4.0 and it is indicated as A+, A in University of Guelph (Canada). Is there a grade conversion chart so I can see my GPA as it applies to schools in the United States?

Thank you!

Hello eober,

I'm not sure there is a standard "grade conversion chart", and anyway, it's not an LSAT question per se.
However, a couple things which may be helpful:

1) I think that usually in the U.S., one needs a 90% or better to receive an A- or better grade.

2) The site at http://www.foreigncredits.com/resources ... onversion/ claims to be able to convert grades, though I'd take it with a grain of salt.

3) There's a Wikipedia article on Canadian grading, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Canada .

Again, take all the above with a grain of salt.
I am thinking you may want to talk to the admissions staff at Guelph (since that is apparently where you are attending), since they are probably more expert than I am at these things. Good luck,

Hope this helps,
David
