How do I figure out my average grade percentage? GPA is 3.43

[Mugen123]

I'm applying at www.studentawards.com and it's asking for my average grade percentage for last year but I only know my GPA.. I've googled this but keep getting different results

What school do you go to?

Sheridan College, bachelors degree program

Sheridans GPA system is very easy on the student (75% = 3.50, 80% = 4.00). Someone could take two classes and get 75% and 80% and would have a 3.75 GPA (77.5% average). Another person could take the same classes and get 79% and 95% and would have a 3.75 GPA (87% average). You need to have the exact grades from all your assignments/quizzes/exams for every class to get a spot on %. Perhaps the school keeps % info when they are submitted.

I'm not familiar with how the grading works at that school, but from my experience, grades are submitted as a percentage and then converted into [c]gpa. You'll need to find each mark for each class, and figure out the conversation.

That's how it works, A- has a range from 80-89 at Sherdian (according to their site) and a GPA of 4.00. I usually keep track of all my % grades for test and assignments so that I get an actual % at then end of the course.

This would all be better if every university & college used the same scale...UofT uses 4.0, Ryerson uses 4.33, York uses 9, McMaster uses 12, etc.

Thanks guys... guess I didn't do as well as I thought heh 3.43 sounds high until i realize it's under 75%

Here is a university grade conversion table they use when you apply to certain grad schools:

Sheridan isn't on it, but it might help other people
