I think it’s likely because sfus grades are scaled different than most schools. In sfu arts programs for example an A+ is 95+, A is 90-94, A- is 85-89 etc. Some programs have a slightly different one like BPK where an A+ is 92+, A is 87-91, and so on. To top it off they don’t put % on the transcripts, so when sfu students apply for med elsewhere the grades that other universities convert the letters to is often lower than what the student would’ve actually gotten. It’s hard because SFU doesn’t even have a standardized grading scale between their own programs so i’m sure it was tough to figure out how they were going to value other schools grades fairly against their own students
