Numerical Grading Scale

[NIYO2K2]

Hey everyone

I just transfered from a CC, which used a letter grading system. Now that I am at a 4 year university, which uses the number scale (4.0, 3.5, 3.0,....1.0), I'm not so sure about my overall performance. I asked my professor what does a 3.5 translate to as a letter grade, I had no idea. Can someone out there break it down for me .

Usually the grade breakdown for universities and AMCAS is:
4.0=A
3.7=A-
3.3=B+
3.0=B
2.7=B-
2.3=C+
2.0=C

You can see where it goes from here. A 3.5 GPA falls in between and B+ and A- average.

The grading scale differs fron university to university. At my school the scale is broken down like this:

A=4.0
B+=3.5
B=3.0
C+=2.5
...

and so on. We don't have any -'s in our scale. So a 3.5 according to our scale is a straight B+.

Hope this helps.
