GPA is low for Ottawa

Im having a difficult time converting my gpa from the 4.33 scale to the 4.0 scale for OLSAS. i did my gpa for the last 2 years again and its actually 3.677 out of 4.33.
on the UBC scale which is 0-100% --> a 3.670 on the 4.33 scale equals 80% exactly.
now i have a 3.677 out of 4.33 so on the UBC scale i would prlly be 80.2% gpa.

when i look at the OLSAS conversion chart it says that if you have 80-84 percent range for UBC you have a gpa of 3.7 out of 4.
am i correct in thinking that my OLSAS gpa for last two years is 3.7?

i mean thats what it would make sense. i graded with distinction, that has to mean my gpa is around that range on OLSAS's 4.0 scale.

please let me know if im right.

Your cGPA isn't converted as a whole; each grade is converted individually. Suppose you only have two grades of the same weight: 97 and 83. Instead of averaging the two to get 90 -> 4.0, OLSAS would convert the 97 to a 4.0, and the 83 to a 3.7, giving you a cGPA of 3.85.

What was your major at UBC?

i actually got my major from SFU in history. SFU is out of 4.33 scale. I was using ubc as a reference on the 0-100 percent.

but still, my question remains, based on the calculation i did would my gpa for last 2 years which is 3.677 out of 4.33, equal 3.7 out of 4 on the OLSAS range.
3.677/4.33 = 80 percent on UBC scale.

I don't understand how you are still confused. Convert each of your grades individually as per this pdf. Then multiply them by their weights, sum it all up, and divide by the total number of credits that you have.

lol math was never my strong side

Soooo i convert all my grades which are in A-F format to 3.-- scale. then I multiply each individual grade by how many credits it was worth (like 3 or 4) then add all the grades up, and divided it by the total credits i had which was 121. is that how it would work?

Yea.

In a couple weeks OLSAS will send you a letter with your GPA calculated officially.
