Hi I'm just wondering how to convert grades, from university into the AMCAS system? ie: what is an 85 or 80 worth in GPA terms.
What's the poll for?? FYI, at most schools, 90-100 is an A, 80-89 is a B, 70-79 is a C, and below that is an F. Although YMMV. --Trek
ocean11, your polls aren't set up properly... 80 generally is a B-. 85 generally is a B. ??? is this what you're asking??? are your final grades numbers like these? if so, i think there are instructions with the amcas application. if not, your school is probably in the amcas system, and amcas will automatically convert the grades.
sorry about the poll..... its nothing ignore it. What I meant is does an 85% = 4.0 or does it equal 3.8 etc....? I'm Canadian we have a slightly diff. system here.
80 is generally 2.7 85 would be a 3.0 at least that is typically how it would be done. i have no idea about your particular school or how amcas does it (e.g. perhaps, an 85 is a 3.2 -- don't know for sure). i'm pretty sure there's a section about it in the instructions. my school's system was very straightforward, so i didn't read the instructions too well.
Hi all, thanx for the replies I just found out that apparently if You get above 85% it's actually a 4.0 and an A- or an 80% is 3.7.
Holy crap, I'm moving to Canada! <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />
I go to a Canadian School too (UBC) and 85 is an A and 80 is an A-. On UBC transcripts, we get a percentage and a letter grade...and last year AMCAS used the letter grades exactly as they were on the transcript.
at my JC a B+ is 3.5, anyone else have a system like this cause at most schools i know a b+ is 3.3 but since my JC dosent have A-,B- etc. thats how they do it. anyone else
In my school, 80-84.99 - B - 3.0 GPa 85-89.99 - B+ - 3.5 GPA 90-100 - A - 4.0 Some classes have small variations from this. I do not get your point. Every schol has a different system.
