    If I get my degree evaluated from WES Canada or from WES USA, would my GPA differ or come out the same after degree evaluation based on the country?

    I am new to AP and still trying to figure this out. My school gives grades on 5.0 GPA scale for AP classes. Doesn't that mean the more APs I take, the higher weighted GPA I will have? I only took three AP classes in high school (I am in my senior year). Does that mean when I apply to colleges I will have a significantly lower weighted GPA than other applicants who took more AP classes? Will the colleges consider I haven't taken many AP classes? Or do they measure them the same? For example: I took three AP classes and someone else took seven AP classes, will the colleges compare our weighted GPA equally, even though I have taken lesser AP classes?

    Not a word mentioned about dual enrollment courses (or IB courses) in the video, and I even asked this question a few weeks ago. Many high schools now offer dual-enrollment courses, so that topic should be included in the GPA conversation. Anyway, my high school awarded an additional +0.5 credit for honors and AP courses and +1.0 credit for dual-enrollment courses. Many colleges view dual-enrollment courses the same as AP and honors courses, yet some do not.

    How does a university use the GPA that is entered by the applicant in the Education section of the Common App? Our high school is on a 4.0 scale and uses weighted grades, but adds 1 point for APs and .5 point for honors courses. Should we recalculate the weighted GPA to add 1 point for APs and 1 point for honors?

    • @christopherdoney5499
      @christopherdoney5499 4 года назад

      Hi Stacey. When it comes to weighted GPA calculations, one size does not fit all. Many colleges calculate GPA using their own criteria. For example, if you apply to any schools within the University of California (UC) system, they will not count any courses taken in your freshman year, and they also will cap your weighted GPA (e.g., capped to be no higher than 4.35). As another example, if you apply to UGA (Georgia), AP and IB courses are calculated with an additional +1.0, yet honors courses carry no additional value.
      Therefore, instead of using a generic GPA calculator to figure out your weighted GPA, you're better off going to the Admissions Office webpage of each school in which you are interested, determining how each respective school calculates weighted GPA, and then doing the weighted GPA recalculations yourself.

      Hi Thomas! The GPA scale is actually a little more complicated than dividing your grades by 100. We have a chart at 2:34 that shows how grades are weighted, but I'd recommend watching the whole video to get a fuller idea.

    For some reason in HS when I heard about someone getting a 4.0 or straight A's on their report card it seemed like such an esteemed group, practically unreachable. I remember how the kids would brag about their 3.7-4.0 GPAs and their smug faces. I was a 1.9-2.2 GPA student at the time, and thought only geniuses could get those kinds of grades! I later found out as long as you score around 93-94% you're getting a 4.0 credit on your report card.(I knew this inherently, but never really thought about it as it didn't apply to me and my C- avg at the time.)
    No employer is going to look through your individual test scores. I even argued with a professor about him taking off a point due to some uploading java processing error overwrapping my paragraphs(I got 999/1000 possible points in the class. HAHA what a waste of time.) Now that I'm in college I see how flawed my thinking was. I've taken 4 classes (aced them all) and just received my latest grade for a class I just finished. A 94.02% with a 4.0 scored on my report card. (That was too close for my comfort!) My lowest scores for this class were an 80%, 85.71, 88.75, 89.50. The rest were high 90s or better. So yeah LOL it's reachable people even with getting those low grades on assignments I got a 4.0 in the class and that was with doing all my major assignments the night before. Including essays. Easy Peasy. Esteemed club and Dean's list! I scoff at thee! LOL sorry I'm just letting off some steam built up over the years. BTW I don't recommend doing your homework the night before!

    this is not the right way. I have a percentage of 85/100 and according to your calculator my GPA comes out to be 3.0/4.0.
    Even if calculated in a linear scale (which the conversion from percentage to a 4 scale GPA clearly is not), an 85 comes out to be a 3.4, much more than what your calculator says.
    Conclusion- your calculator is wrong, and the relation b/w percentage and a 4 point GPA scale is not a linear relation (graphically).

    • @CollegeVine
      @CollegeVine  2 года назад

      Hi! Thanks for your feedback. GPA scales are pretty unique to each school, and colleges will recalculate them according to their own rules when evaluating your application.
      This calculation is not linear: you can't divide your grade by 25 and use that as your 4.0-scale GPA. Each grade is instead mapped to a single number corresponding to its respective letter grade. A B+ will be counted as a 3.3, a B will be counted as a 3.0, a B- will be counted as a 2.7, and so on (there are no values in-between).
      Let us know if you have any questions! You can read more about GPA conversion here: blog.collegevine.com/how-to-convert-your-gpa-to-a-4-0-scale/

      @@CollegeVine my apologies for being rude in the previous comment. I understand they change the number to a letter grade, my school follows a letter grade too, which is what the board of education in my country follows:
      91-100 is A1
      81-90 is A2
      71-80 is B1
      And so on. (Passing grade is 33)
      Hence, I'm unsure how the letter grades of A1 and A2 (instead of A+, A, B+, etc.) will be converted to a 4 scale GPA.
      Thank you for your reply!

      ​@@GS-ue8sw No worries! As an international student your grades will be compared against other international students (possibly those from your country specifically). So as far as chancing yourself, it would be more useful to consider your grades within national percentiles, rather than trying to convert them to American metrics.
      If you're just looking for a GPA to put on your Common App, then you should base that off the number grades you've received. The A1/A2 stuff will be explained on your transcript, so you should just do your best to translate your number grades to A+, A-, etc. Hope that helps!
