Transcript Question
Hi, I have a question regarding transcripts. I'm going to be applying for graduate school in a couple of months and they require your GPA shown on your transcript, which I understand, but I was wondering if Mac's transcripts will show these (using the 4.0 scale rather than their 12 point scale). Anyone who received a copy of their transcripts know if the standard GPA average is shown on our transcripts??

No, it's only shown using the 12-point scale. The schools you apply to will convert using whatever scale they require.

Ah...the reason I was wondering was because I'm applying to a school overseas and I don't know if they'd know how to go about the 12-point system. Anyways, thanks for the response.

Well each course also has a letter grade next to it, I'd assume they would know how to deal with that. Also, on the back of the transcript the grading system is explained.
