<p>Bad luck with maths and physics mate ! :slight_smile: I dont think we need to convert grades to gpa .
A level grades are NOTHING like the grades you get at High School. Just submit your A/AS level certificates to the school or ask each school directly about what to do. The A levels are pretty popular and I’m pretty sure the college officials know how to interpret your grades just fine.</p>

<p>can u just calculate estimated gpa so i can be sure if i am qualified for some merit scholarships!</p>

<p>2.8 out of 4.0 according to the standards set by some top liberal arts colleges.</p>

<p>According to Fulbright,</p>

<p>3.4 out of 4.3. Which is approximately 3.2 out of 4.0.</p>

<p>If we distinguish between A and AS Levels (which colleges do), then:</p>

<p>3.33/4.3, which is approximately 3.1 GPA. (FULBRIGHT)</p>

<p>U can calculate a rough estimate. Ive posted this before. Search in the threads. But i can do urs. B is equal to A- or 3.7 and C is equal to B or 3.0
Urs would be (3.7+3.7+3.0+3.0)/4=3.35
This would be ur UW
Add a point to each subject to calculate Weighted since A level is equal to AP.
Weighted=(4.7+4.7+4.0+4.0)/4=4.35
Again this is not exact due to rigor of A levels and unis do not convert either</p>

<p>My calculations are according to the CIE website just so u know</p>

<p>Please post a link of where CIE writes that a B is equivalent to 3.7?</p>

<p>The Fulbright Commission in the UK writes that a B ~ 3.3-3.7, so it’s best to take 3.5 as the conversion for B.</p>

<p>Additionally, colleges that calculate GPA’s for intl students specify that B = 3.0.</p>

<p>My fault. It says B is equal to A- or B+. The website i read it off which claimed as according to cie used the A- for calculation. Nevertheless, no matter what number u used, the gpa calculated still cant compare as i mentioned before. Nor do universities try to convert it to gpa. They read it as is</p>

9

<p>If u were to calculate it, i would calculate using both the 3.3 and 3.7 in order to get a range ur gpa could fall in</p>

10

<p>thank you all for the reply but u guys are turning me crazy! is it ok to assume 3.3 out of 4 as my rough gpa?</p>

11

<p>mind you, he has not included GP. that would increase your estimated GPA. however i recommend you find the range as he suggested, and assume the midway GPA as your GPA.</p>

12

<p>Oh, i didnt see that subject</p>

<p>Hey guys,
I am having trouble converting my A-Level grades to GPA. Could you guys please help me out.
My grades are:
Physics : A
Chemistry : B
Maths : C
and GP: C</p>

<p>P.s: Will including my GP score lower my GPA? Can I not include my GP scores?</p>

14

<p>I can calculate it for your but i need to know your GCSE results. When it comes to GPA, it includes your weighted and unweighted. Unweighted is your GCSE, and weighted is GCSE + AS LEVEL </p>

can you please post a link to the CIE page that converts A Levels grades to GPA
