What is % average and how to interpret GPA

-----------------------------------

Hi, All
I have a question: what is this "admission average 92%" for example ... is it like GPA or is it position in class? 

Thanks

no. it's your mark.  For example, if you got a 90 in math, 90 in physics, 90 in Chem, and a 90 in DEnglish, you average would be 90.  Your GPA is a very different measure.  Just look at your report card to calculate it.

So in my transcript I have only GPA.

maximum possible is 4.0. I have 3.85 ... 
grade scale is: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+ ... etc

3.85 is either B+ or A-, is that what you mean?

It is average:
Fall semester I had  A, A, A- : GPA was 3.9

Spring semester I had  A, A-, A- : GPA was 3.8

And for whole year it is 3.85
