Conversion Tips
- •No universal standard: GPA conversions are approximate. Different institutions may use slightly different scales.
- •Check institution requirements: Always verify the specific conversion formula used by the school or program you're applying to.
- •WES evaluations: For official conversions, consider using World Education Services (WES) or similar credential evaluation services.
- •Context matters: A 3.5 GPA from a competitive program may be viewed differently than the same GPA from an easier program.
