A similar thread has already been started but it doesn't address what I', looking for.

I am an american educated Canadian looking to go back. I know that there is a GPA conversion table (1) that Canadian medical schools use to convert US grades into their system.

My question is: The percentages do not mirror the percentages at my school. For example, a 90% at my school would earn me an A- (worth 3.7 grade points). But according to this chart, it would be a A/A+ (worth 4.0). Is there any accommodation for this?

Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, no. I was in the same position and there was no accomodation for that problem. There is also no accomodation for the tier of your University. Unless of course something has changed that I don't know about.
