Default OMSAS and UBC

Hello,

Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

I just wanted to make sure: UBC uses the GPA to percentage conversion which sets 4.00 at 90-100% and A+, correct?

So in the OMSAS 2006 conversion table, UBC would be columns 3 and 7 (same as UofT)?

Thanks a lot!

Default Re: Conversions

I don't think so, at least I HOPE not. I'm pretty sure a 4.0 grade is any A or A+ (85-100%).

On the 4.33 scale, an A+ (90-100%) will get you 4.33 and an A (85-89.99%) will get you a 4.0.

After reading the chart, yes, UBC is under column #7 for conversions making an A 3.90 and A+ 4.00.

Hi,

I was filling out the OMSAS application and started filling in my course summary. I entered UBC as my undergrad education, but it only asks for my course grade, not numeric grade. Does anyone else get this?
Also,I'm assuming a 3credit class would be considered a half year class. Does that mean a class that was 4 credits equal a 3/4 year class?
Or can you enter in a credit value instead?

Thanks
