Second Year Academic Scholarships
Hey, I was just wondering how they calculate your average for the second year scholarships. Do they use your 12 point GPA or do they keep a more accurate average that we don't see? Seems like if they use the 12 point a lot of people would become ineligible for one.

if they use a percent, i dont really know what to do. if im not mistaken, if they use a 4.0 gpa scale then do you not just divide your gpa by 3?

No, you have to convert every single grade to the 4.0 scale and then calculate your average from there.

They probably use the 12.0 scale considering that entrance scholarships (which used to be renewable) required a 9.5 average. Also the QEII scholarships also require a 9.5 average to renew.
