16 Oct 2009, 4:51 PM  | GPA's vs WAM You can hide this advertisement by registering. Just for some background I study a software engineering and commerce degree.I just calculated my current GPA, on a 4.0 scale is 2.5, 7.0 scale is 5.5. Yet my WAM is 74......... Almost D average See something wrong here?? Its because I got alot of subjects that are just border-line. a quarter of them are 1 or 2 marks away from the next D or HD. :/ Employers in australia don't really use GPA do they?? The resumes I searched for on the net all features GPAs. which is calculated based on following. Quote:

16 Feb 2010, 1:14 AM  | Re: GPA's vs WAM i thought if the GPA is out of 4, then HD and D are both worth 4. a CR is worth a 3 and a pass is worth a 2. thats how macquarie works it out Macquarie University - Undergraduate Studies P.S like it or not most of the large emplyers do require you to have at least a Cr average. GPA of >3 or >5 (whatever system your uni uses), its part of the culling process. even then you should really be aiming for a DN average, coz really there are so many people out there for the few good jobs going around. there are cases of people who do get a look in even without a Cr average though, however those people usually are good looking and are pleasent on the eye for the managers, partners to perve on all day Last edited by Doomah; 1 Jul 2009 at 4:53 PM. |
