Grade Conversions

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...

 

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 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.

 

@Bollinger, I saw that but numerous others give you different results.

Do you guys know if Dr.D is right: "Canada gpa's are rounded up when converted to US"?

They call me TheMailMan because I always deliver.
 

If you are applying to American schools I heard that every university will have their own way of looking at grades. But in reality you can't deviate much from 9 = 3.3, 12 = 4.0. If it's somewhere in the middle, they might round up in US, since some classes in Canadian unis just don't give A's. On numerous occasions I was one of the best students in class with a B+. However I can't state that Canadian universities are harder, maybe my class including me are just a bunch of morons :). Also if your gpa is below 3.0 don't count on any difference in grading systems to help you.

 

Should I put my converted to US GPA on my resume instead of the Canadian one? (My US GPA is higher than my Canadian GPA. Canadian is also on 4.0 scale but calculated differently)

 

There is a website out there that does this conversion. If I recall, it's part of one of the university sites (I'm leaning towards McMaster). This is what I used. The site essentially converts GPAs from any Canadian university or college.
