The SOPHAS grading system standardizes the way grades will be reported to your designated programs. The SOPHAS Grade is assigned a numeric value to calculate your grade point average. The SOPHAS GPA calculation scale is as follows: SOPHAS Grade Value A 4.0 A- 3.7 AB 3.5 B+ 3.3 B 3.0 B- 2.7 BC 2.5 C+ 2.3 C 2.0 C- 1.7 CD 1.5 D+ 1.3 D+ 1.3 D 1.0 D- 0.7 DE 0.5 F 0.0 Non-graded designations NONE If your institution uses a numeric grading system, choose the appropriate letter grade from the list above that equals the numeric grade. If your institution uses a plus/minus system with different numeric values, the SOPHAS GPA will be different than your institution. This potential disparity is known to the participating schools of public health and will not put you at a disadvantage relative to other SOPHAS applicants. All applicants will have their GPAs calculated using the same criteria.
