I go to a school in Canada that gives grades on a 12 point scale. My current major average is 9.5/12, which is a bit above a B+ according to my university. What does this translate to on the 4 point scale? I'm trying to get an idea of where I'm at in comparison to all the Americans I'm seeing posting and can't really figure it out. If I divide by 3, I only get 3.17 which seems low to me as most people here seem to have a 3.5+. Maybe I'm just a bit naive to how high everybody's marks are...

Here is the scale that is commonly used:
A: 4.0
A-: 3.7
B+: 3.3
B: 3.0
B-:2.7
C+: 2.3
C: 2.0
C-: 1.7
D+:1.3
D: 1.0
You take the grade in each class, and convert it accordingly. You then take the average. Some classes are weighted higher/lower than others, so take that into account as well.
Wow, so I'm probably at
Wow, so I'm probably at about a 3.4 right now. That's pretty insane that the difference between a 3.3 and a 3.7 is such a small margin.
You go to mac?
It seems by the 12 point scale you go to mac, in which case a 9.5 gets you on the Deans Honor List.....that said you would have a 3.5
actually ud find that the
actually ud find that the key differentiating factor is between B+ and A- as it is 0.4, compared to A- to A which is only 0.3. Thats why normally if u have two subjects one is a B+ and another is an A-, should spend more effort kicking the B+ to an A- than an A- to an A.... just my $0.02
No... a B+ is actually
No... a B+ is actually 3.3333333 and an A- is a 3.66666666667 and an A is 4.0... as you should report GPA to 2 digits on your resume anyway, there is no difference between B+ to A- and A- to A.
ah..k.. i stand corrected..
ah..k.. i stand corrected.. cos in my school they don't round it like that

I'm pretty interested in the UK to US GPA conversion. I have a 2:1 (higher second) and a 63.5% average from university. I've been told that than translates to a GPA of between 3.4 and 3.6 but I'm not sure how the MBA schools do the conversion.
If its a 12 point scale your
If its a 12 point scale your probably either at Laurier or McMaster. According to:

You're at a 3.5 which is above average. Unfortunately you're not only comparing your grades. A 3.5 at Ivey isn't comparable to a 3.5 at McMaster. Which means you'll probably need a much better average, network like crazy or have a family connection.
Darn.
