[ont.jobs] Job Hunting in USA

sgcpal@watdcsu.waterloo.edu (Paul Layman) (02/23/88)

The title seemed appropriate considering recent articles.  However I am
in the process of going the other direction, ie. Canada --> USA and need
to put my GPA (GRADE POINT AVERAGE) on the "official" employment application
even though I've already been accepted.

How do you calculate a GPA?  All my marks as an undergrad are letter grades
making it even more difficult.

All suggestions are welcomed,

	85-89		A		4.0
	80-84		A-		3.7
	77-79		B+		3.3
	73-76		B		3.0
	70-72		B-		2.7
	67-69		C+		2.3
	63-66		C		2.0
	60-62		C-		1.7
	57-59		D+		1.3
	53-56		D		1.0
	50-52		D-		0.7
	35-49		E		0.3
	0-34		F		0.0

Hope this is what you wanted.
