Hey, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a quick GPA conversion. My current average is a 73, but I'm not sure what that would be on a 4.0 scale. Can someone help me figure this out? Thanks!
Converting a percentage average to a GPA on a 4.0 scale can be tricky, since different schools may have different grading scales. However, I'll give you a general idea using a common conversion method.
Using this method, a 73% generally falls within the C range (70-79%), which translates to a 2.0-2.99 GPA on a 4.0 scale. To be more specific, let's use the midpoint of the C range which is 75%, translating to a 2.5 GPA.
Keep in mind that this is just an approximation, and your school may have a slightly different grading scale. Additionally, some schools may use a weighted GPA scale, which could change the calculation if you're enrolled in honors or AP courses. To get the most accurate conversion, I recommend checking with your school's guidance counselor or registrar's office for your school's specific scale.
