Percentage To Gpa

Posted onOctober 24, 2011 - 4:37 am by Admin | 0 Comments

I can very well say, you are making a huge mistake. If you want to know why above table will not work, you need to first understand what is GPA and how GPA is calculated. Many students even after reading this article ask the question – How to calculate GPA from their academic score. Hope you can read the article at least twice before you ask the same question.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

Percentage Score (1 to 100) is used various countries, but in U.S. Schools use GPA system is used fo grading students.

GPA Vs Percentage

Both GPA and % assigns grades to students, they are essentially calculated in different ways. They are not the same or it’s not possible to equate or compare.

How GPA is Calculated

Grades will be assigned to student for each course ( A = 4.0; B = 3.0; C = 2.0 ; D = 1.0; F = 0; )

And  each course has Credit Hours. Usually Graduate level courses will have 3 Credit Hours per course.

Lets’ say at end of the semester, professor assigns grade of B to Course Database, Grade A to Course Networks and Grade A to course Software Testing. GPA is calculated as follows

  • Total Grades = Sum of (Grade * Credit Hours)= B*3 + A*3 + A*3 = 3*3+4*3+4*3 =33
  • Total Credit Hours = 3+3+3 = 9
  • GPA = Total Grades/Total Credit Hours = 33/9 = 3.66

Universities will have some form of evaluation to convert percentage to GPA and that varies with each University. They have their own GPA calculator.

So, you really can’t convert academic percentage or CPGA to GPA. So, it would be better to write percentage in the college admission application.  Colleges will know what to do with your percentage score. You can write like 79/100 or 79%. that is more than enough.

America’s educators have conditioned the young skulls-full-of-mush attending college to believe that it’s moral to take money from high-income earners and give it to those who are poor and less fortunate, i.e., “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs.”

In the 4:54 video below, Oliver Darcy, a recent college graduate, helps credulous college students better understand what it means to take from the haves and redistribute it to the have-nots.  He challenges students with good grades to contribute a percentage of their GPA to students with lower GPAs.

“They all earn their GPA. So we asked them if they’d be interested in redistributing the GPA points that they earned to students who may be having trouble getting a high GPA.”

In the 6:23 video below, Darcy asks students to sign a petition to pay their share of the national debt, currently each person owes about $47,000.
