Convert UK Grades to a US GPA

How to easily convert your university GPA

Converting UK grades to a US GPA can be a bit tricky, but it's important to do it accurately if you're applying to US universities. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Step 1: Find your UK grade percentage or letter grade

The first step is to find your UK grade percentage or letter grade. This can be found on your transcript or degree certificate.

Step 2: Align your UK grade with the US 4.0 GPA

Once you have your UK grade, you need to align it with the US 4.0 GPA. This can be done using the following table:

| UK Grade | US GPA | |---|---| | 70-100% | 4.0 | | 60-69% | 3.0 | | 50-59% | 2.0 | | 40-49% | 1.0 | | Below 40% | 0.0 |

Step 3: Calculate your US GPA

Once you have aligned your UK grade with the US 4.0 GPA, you can calculate your US GPA by multiplying your UK grade percentage or letter grade by the corresponding US GPA.

For example, if you have a UK grade of 75%, your US GPA would be 3.0 (75% x 4.0 = 3.0).

Step 4: Convert your US GPA to a 4.0 GPA

If you need to convert your US GPA to a 4.0 GPA, you can use the following formula:

US GPA (4.0) = US GPA (unweighted) x 4.0 / 3.0 For example, if you have a US GPA of 3.5 (unweighted), your US GPA (4.0) would be 4.0 (3.5 x 4.0 / 3.0 = 4.0).

Step 5: Submit your US GPA to US universities

Once you have converted your UK grades to a US GPA, you can submit it to US universities as part of your application.
