how to convert gpa on a 4.0 scale
I took 8 classes:
I received a 2,3,6,1,0,3,6,5

Can you please convert this to a 12 scale and a 4.0 scale

Its a 3.25 on a 12 scale (just add up all your marks and divide by 8). On a 4 scale its a 1.36. What you do is find what each of those are on a 4 scale (eg. a 1 is a 0.7, 2 is a 1, 3 is a 1.3, etc.). Add them up and divide by 8 again

You have to be a bit more specific maybe. Did you only take 3-unit courses or any 4-unit/6-unit/etc.?

convert them all individually to the 4 point scale and average them the same you would if you were using the 12 point scale. That is after you individually convert them, multiply each grade by its unit value and then add up all the grades and divide by the total number of units

Course Grade on 4.0 scale
Art History 2
Commerce 2.3
Comp Sci 1.3
Econ 1BB3 0
Econ 1B03 0.7
Geog 2.3
Math 1F03 2
Math 1M03 1

Since you have taken all 3 unit classes, you can go ahead and just average the marks out. So your average GPA on the 4 point scale is 1.45

fml I don't think I can transfer to any universities cause york requires you to have a 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, and I think ryerson wants a minimum of c :(

You can take more courses to get your average up to a 60. Your average isn't low enough to be kicked out of Mac, is it? I think that's a 3. Then once you get that, you can transfer elsewhere if you want.

I'd recommend really taking a look at why you did badly this year and working to remedy that, if you want to improve.

Tbh, my highschool was near my house like 5 mins away and commuting was a hassle I just felt home sick, and I didn't end up going to lecture i studied straight from the books, and i was so bad with time management, and I felt like half way through uni I lost motivation...and I don't know if university is for me, I feel like I would do much better in college, I feel like even though I did try my best I recieved a 3.5 but I didn't put in all my effort into my work
