My undergraduate transcripts are from a Canadian university. On the transcripts, it states clearly that according to the 9 point scale, a B is a 5. It would seem that a B, coming from a Canadian school with the 9 point scale or an american school with the 4 point scale would be considered a 3.0 by the AAMC.
Why is this B calculated by the AAMC's as a 2.3 GPA ??? Is there anyone can explain why my GPA is 75% of what it was at my Canadian institution??? Granted I've done a lot of post-bacc work since then, but considering how this adjusts my overall GPA it's borderline if I can even apply.
