I did undergrad in the US and I have a problem with my OMSAS GPA - it's currently showing up as 0.00. I'm wondering whether my GPA will remain the same as on my transcript or whether it will drop because they turn my As from 4.0 to 3.9. I e-mailed them, but the answer was "Just punch your grades into the app and it will automatically calculate your GPA." Well, 0.00 just isn't very satisfying.

Does anyone have experience with their calculation for US grades? My school didn't have A+, so I'd like to think that my As will stay as 4.0s, but I need to know because it will make a difference for cut-offs.

I had the same issue last year with the OMSAS grades. Once my application was verified though, they calculated my "actual" GPA. My university was on a straight A/B/C scale with no +/- and it did end up lowering my overall OMSAS GPA. There's not much you can do about it though. Good luck

i'm not familiar with omsas, but i did apply at the u of alberta with my US grades and they converted without any drop in gpa. u of a has a +/- system while my undergrad did not. still no issue.
