Hi everyone,

Iam a Canadian student and I just read the PHARMCAS website, however, iam having trouble understanding their GPA conversion chart (under the FAQ):

they have the following listed:
100-90A (4.0)89-80B (3.0)79-70C (2.0)69-60D (1.0)>60F (1.0)

and also this:

Q: What is the grading scale that PharmCAS uses to calculate GPAs?
A: The grading scale used at PharmCAS is as follows:
A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, AB = 3.5, B+ = 3.3, B = 3.0, B- = 2.7, BC = 2.5,
C+ = 2.3, C = 2.0, C- = 1.7, CD = 1.5, D+ = 1.3, D = 1.0, D- = 0.7, DE = 0.5, F = 0

which one is it?

That depends on whether your school uses the 100% system or letter grading. And you would use that to convert the GPA.

so if u use the % system ur screwed?
ahahhaha

and my school uses both % and a+,a,a-, etc

...dude... schools use both simultaneously. The % scale decides where you get an A or a B. 90 is A(4 points x # of credits of class), 89 is B(3 points). Add up all your Grade Points and divide them by the number of credits you have. That is your Grade Point Average....

for the canadian system anything above an 80 is worth a 3.7+...
