Feeling a bit in the dark here, but I need some clarification. What percentage would a perfect 4.0 GPA be equivalent to? Does this vary from school to school or is there a standard?
Hello! I can certainly shed some light on this for you. A 4.0 GPA typically represents an A average in your high school courses, which would be equivalent to a percentage of 90-100%, depending on your school's specific grading scale.
Yes, it can vary from school to school. Some schools might consider a 93% and above as an 'A', whereas others might set the cutoff at 90%. It's important to check your school's grading policy to understand how they convert letter grades to a 4.0 scale.
Essentially, if you're earning the top marks that your school considers to be 'A' grades across your classes, then you're on track for that perfect 4.0 GPA. Keep up the good work!
