When you apply to a grad school does McMaster send them the percentage grades as well? For example, if you get a 94 in a class, does McMaster send grad schools that grade and the 12 you received on the 12 point scale?

Think it's just your transcript...11's, 12's...

McMaster doesn't HAVE your percentage grades. They're not recorded by the registrar.
Your transcript has the 12-point system and the letter system.

Are you serious? :O Wow, that sucks! So if you get an 89% instead of a 90%, it'll show up as an 11 even though there's only 1% difference.

Unfortunately, that is correct :/

I think its good since otherwise people may kill themselves from stress to get that extra x percent, as opposed to just aiming for a 90% which is hard enough as it is.

Yes...so when I have a 79.3 in a class, all people will see is that 'B'...

I don't understand why Universities can't agree on a standard grading system...instead of all this conversion crap.
