yemimajid:
bruv, I think you're getting your calculation wrong..2:2 is not up to 3.0 on a 4.0 scale...even 3.6/5 is just 2.9 on a 4.0 scale boss.

Pls Note: The name "Kunle" below is a guy who wanted to school in US for his masters.

Each 5 point-scale GPA has its own
equivalent on the 4-point scale. As the 5-point
GPA reduces so does the 4-point GPA. And no,
the credit units are not reduced or increased
during conversion. The only things changed are
the grades and grade units.
For eg, FOR WES translation ,
our A is their A = 4 points.
Our B is their B+ = 3.5 points.
Our C is B = 3.0 points.
Our D is C+ = 2.5 points.
Our E is their C = 2.0 points and
Our F is F = 0.
For WES' conversion list, there are no Ds and Es
on their US 4-point scale. All our Ds and Es are
converted to C+ and C respectively thus adding
extra points to the person's equivalent new
CGPA. That's why WES is considered the best.
Now, the higher the CGPA, the lower the add in
extra points to the final because the 5-point GPA
is likely to have more As, Bs and Cs than Ds and
Es(the very two which add extra points to the
overall). And the lower the CGPA the more the
add in possible points from Ds and Es because
the person's transcripts is likely to have more Ds
and Es than the first example, thus adding a little
more points to the person's 4-point CGPA since
the many Ds and Es will be converted to higher
C+ and C.
I'll give you a quick break down of Naija GPAs
I've seen converted by WES to the 4-Point scale
so you can quickly place for yourself where
3.08/5.0 will land.
Nigeria. US
4.10/5.0. 3.53/4.0
4.08/5.0. 3.52/4.0
3.73/5.0. 3.37/4.0
3.68/5.0. 3.29/4.0(Your own conversion.
3.20/5.0. 3.06/4.0(Kunle's conversion)
3.12/5.0. 3.05/4.0
2.99/5.0. 2.99/4.0
2.33/5.0. 2.50/4.0
Look above and see the linear relationship.
Notice the falling pattern of the 5-point scale
and its equivalent falling pattern on the 4-point
scale. Its a linear relationship. Now look at the
scale and estimate the range 3.08/5.0 on 4-point
scale will fall on? Your guess is as good as mine.
@Kunle : remember when you sent in your
transcripts to WES for evaluation and you were
waiting for it to come out, I told you on bbm that
your new CGPA will between 3.05 to 3.10? And
when it came out and it was 3.06? You told me
when it came out and remember I told you I
wasn't surprised that knew it would fall within
that range. This was because before then my
friend who had 3.12/5.0 had converted his own
and got 3.05/4.0. And because your own 5-point
scale CGPA, 3.20/5.0 was higher than his
3.12/5.0, I definitely knew your 4-point equivalent
will be higher than the 3.05/4.0 which my friend
got.
Likewise, 3.08/5.0 will be lower than 3.05/4.0 but
won't fall below 3.0/4.0 since 2.99/5.0 fell on
2.99/4.0. The range will be between (3.0 to
3.05)/4.0.
Observe that its a linear ratio thing. I guess the
confusion comes from the fact that the CGPA
3.08/5.0 is second class lower and its 4-point
equivalent, 3.0/4.0 is considered second class
upper on the 4-point scale. That's how it is.
Kunle's 3.20/5.0 is second class lower but also
turned out to be 3.06 which is higher than
3.0/4.0 and which is second class upper on the
4-point scale.
3.08/5.0 isn't much different from 3.20/5.0 and
should give something close to Kunle's 4-point
3.06/4.0 in accordance to the law of linearity
and mathematics. Hence, I don't expect such a
huge downward plunge in the new CGPA
equivalent, such as 2.5/4.0 to 2.60/4.0 as Kunle
projected.

kennynelcon:

You know how it feels when u have no fun, live a cool triangle life and still grad with a cgpa lower than expected.

My guy wey live life, and I was busy telling him to stop having fun with girls, even get higher cgpa, when result show he told me "I ate my cake and had it", you wasted your school fees.

I have gotten over it, I don't care, I pray I have enough money by then and get a nice suit.

I thank God, in God we trust.

Lol, u just made me remember one of my courses last semester.... after reading hard for that course, infact out of all the courses I did last semester, I can say that, that was the only course I really read hard for. You know when u read textbook back to back and u re confident that you will blast the exam?? Only for me to start the the exam and it felt like I wasted all my time reading cos the questions were just out of this world.....after the exam, I told God to pls just give me a C cos at that point sef it felt like I would carry over the course cos the guess work I did ehn.
When I was told the result of that course was out, my heart started beating fast like 'what if I carry the course? But God did it and I had a 56, mehn comman see dance of joy.......funny enough, all the other courses that I didn't even read well enough for was Bs and As, only that course that I read really hard for was a C.
University exam is not just about how well you read abeg......

That a potential 2'1 student ended up finishing with a high 2'2. Just remaining 0.09 to cross the boundary..It painful bro .

My question is, can I do my MSc Statistics (operations research) in UI with 3.41 cgpa? Are my qualified for their master's programme. Advice pls.

Similar issue I had last semester o. When I entered the hall and I saw the questions, I knew it was a game over. I kept praying that my test should save me. Had 56 too.

F comes in many ways. I have F in a course last semester, I wept my eyes out. I decided to complain cos the result had not been duly signed and I was too sure I couldn't fail that course. when I did, it was rectified and I had an A. So a lot of things result in carry over. If I hadn't complained on time or was far away from school or if it had been signed, would have just failed and have extra year and everyone including my family would see me as a failure.

This university thing na luck o, whether u good or not.

Bro, it's one thing to write an exam, it's another to get a deserved grade. This thing happens frequently, if I was given an E, I wouldn't have bothered to complain, I would take it as fate but the burden of F was just too much to carry. Getting education in government owned institutions in this country is dangerous.

I also had similar challenge in my 300l when a lecturer gave me a 40E initially and submitted it to records , then after sometime he later paste another result of 24F for me for that same course. I was almost at d verge of rewriting it when I checked my online result and saw E again; nobody told me to quickly complain before it was rectify ooo! Assuming I didn't check online I wouldn't have known..Thank God i'm outta d system. Government school is shiiii.

Truth, University na gamble that's why we have 2-2 2-1,1-1 after everything. My own is I draw with UNN

well at Op d irony of life is what happen and what u do next after a let down, prof wole soyinka came out wit 3rd class but he is a great person dnt let life beat u dwn,strategize a better 2mao. Am a 300l student tho.

Which prof wole soyinka? Get your fact right.

Dude you better read your books and hope you have something upstairs to show for it at the end of the day.

Enough with that wole soyinka ish, stop giving excuse for failure. FYI wole soyinka did not graduate with a third class.

bro its very possible I had 3.43 with 2 semesters left. I just had to ensure my last 2 semesters gp where above 4.0 points.
So I think U have to maintain atleast 4.5 in two semesters

Okay bro. Thanks for the ginger.. I'll Kip my head up and never stop excelling....

I just don't kno y I always struggle in my last semesters. Just like in OND days. My first GPA was 3.34 on a scale of 4.0 (Polytechnic). I had to keep on writing over 3.5 for the remaining semesters to ensure I graduate wit Distinction... finished with 3.59 that time.. It was nt easy... .

I believe I can still do it here in OAU wit 2 Semesters left +IT... I must make use of the IT to boost my CGPA.. I pray that I make it (amin)

MrHighSea:
U must b in engineering. started with 3.2 sth, fetch cgpa of 2.9 sth in 200l. Never had a cgpa of 3.50 except in 500L. Bt graduated with 3.58. Till today I RESPECT BABA. That 0.9 takes me places guy. I value my degree cert, no expo, no much socials, no gurl. My ss2 3rd term get my respect too. The school was fail math/eng or any 5 subjects, u go. WAT I MEAN IS U CAN MAKE IT. Cgpa of >3..5 is achievable.

Thanks for the heads up. I shall make it

I'm proud of u. shebi dem no give u that 3.4. u studied and earned it although ur effort wasn't enough. never mind pray for albarika.
