Waterloo Percentage Grades

[OATeater]

Hey everyone-

Anyone know how Waterloo converts grades? For example, if I get an A in a course at the University of Ottawa....what does that convert to percentage style at Waterloo?

At uO, an 85-90 is considered an A...so I'm just guessing at averages at A = 87.5..


Anyone know what the reality of the situation is? For their respective school, my school, *our* school, etc 🙂

Use the OMSAS grade conversion chart: http://www.ouac.on.ca/omsas/pdf/c_omsas_b.pdf

According to this chart I have a 3.52 GPA.

That's decent and better than expected.

Thanks for the replies boys....I'll try to return the favour if I ever flippin know anything!

On the note of the OMSAS, thanks--But Waterloo (specifically) uses "percentage" grades. For example, listed on their webpage is something along the lines of :


Average Accepted Academic Average: " Mid Eighties with a range of 82-94. " Now, I can figure out my OMSAS grades but I have no idea how to figure out what that OMSAS grades means in terms of percentages.

Or conversely, does anyone know what Waterloo is looking for in OMSAS terms?

Maybe the lucky people already attending / accepted at waterloo could post their OMSAS?

Cheers

just convert your letter grades over to the waterloo percentages instead of the 4.0 scale to get a range between what your high/low might be. Of course noone really seems to know how Waterloo likes to do it, but it should work to give you a general idea.
