What would a 4.0 GPA be in terms of percentages? I just don't totally understand GPAs because in Canada we use percentages. So could someone please explain GPAs to me?

that would be all A's in normal classes. I couldn't tell you how it compares to percentages.
sorry i can't help, and my post is somewhat meaningless.

It think kinda depends on the school.  For mine its:

4.0 - A
3.5 - B+
3.0 - B
2.5 - C+
2.0 - C

For most schools its like a 95% average between all your classes.

It depends on the scale a particular school uses. The most lenient and widely used is probably the 10 point scale.

96.5-100 = A+ = 4.0
92.5-96.4 = A = 4.0
89.5-92.4 = A-

86.5-89.4 = B+
82.5-86.4 = B = 3.0

and so on.
