Convert Your Percentage to GPA in Seconds!
Ever wondered how your #homeschool grades compare to a public or private school GPA? You’re in the right place! When you apply to college you will have to turn in a Official Transcript (OT). Your OT is the second biggest factor in the admissions process. Even more importantly, your OT will determine how much you earn in scholarships as you enter college. .
The LeeWay Academy Percentage to GPA Converter makes it super simple.
Why Convert Percentage to GPA?
When you take a class, you earn a grade. For example, you may receive a 95 in English. That grade is a percentage. In this case, you got 95% of 100. Great job! But when you report it to a college, many of them don't really care about that percentage, they are looking for a simplified number . . . a GPA.

What’s the Formula?
If you want to do the conversion manually, Here is the easiest way to do it.
GPA = (Percentage / 100) × 4
So, if you scored 85%, your GPA is 3.4
The equation is: (85 / 100) × 4 = 3.4
Note: Universities are going to convert your number to a GPA. Most are going to use this formula although some universities might use a slightly different formula. The main thing is to stay on a 4.0 scale unless your district or your admitting university uses a different scale.
