Hi,

Just wondering about GPA conversions...our school runs on 4.3 scale (4.3 = A+). If my GPA is 3.01 on a 4.3 scale (exactly 70%), does this mean that my AADSAS GPA would be 2.8? (4.0 x .70) I saw the GPA conversion table from AADSAS, but I'm just wondering if it's reasonable to assume that my GPA would be 2.8 or close to it? THANKS,

hey spershad. do you go to concordia? i do too. i know we are on the 4.3 scale but sprgover told me that aadsas doesn't screw around with your gpa like that. if you have a 3.3 then its a 3.3..if you have a 2.1 then its a 2.1. no big surprises. if you have any A+'s aadsas will actually count it as 4.333 points which is sweet. Can anyone else confirm this? I am pretty sure sprgover is right tho

Hey PBure....I go to Dalhousie University in Halifax. Someone told me that AADSAS counts an A+ as a 4.00 and thats what makes your GPA drop when converting. I am pretty confused about this....if anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated!
