Hey folks, quick question - what's a 3.9 GPA in terms of percentage? Just trying to understand my academic standing better.
A Grade Point Average (GPA) doesn't directly map to a percentage since it's based on a scale of 0 to 4.0 in the US system. However, typically a 4.0 GPA is considered equivalent to an 'A' average, or about 90-100%.
If your GPA is 3.9, that would indicate an average almost at an 'A', so roughly between 90-100%. Keep in mind though, the percentage conversion can vary depending on your school's grading system, as some schools may consider a lower percentage, such as 85 or 87, as an 'A'.
So, to get a more accurate conversion of your GPA to a percentage, it would be best to check your school's specific grading scale.
