International Baccalaureate (IB) and GPA

Anyone know how a GPA of 6.23 from an IB student translates to?

You don’t need to convert. US Universities will understand your IB as is.

@VickiSoCal It might still be good to know how to convert, for seeing how an IB student stacks up when a college has an auto-admit or merit threshold of 3.8 or something like that. Is there any standard way of converting?

No. There are converters, but not a universally accepted standard. Regardless, even using a converter, you cannot convert a cumulative GPA; you need to convert course by course.

My daughter went to one school 9-10 grades with 0-100 grading. Then she went to another and did an IB Diploma for 11-12 grades which is 1-7. Never knew what her 4.0 scale GPA was…colleges figure it out. The only time there was an issue was for our State Flagship which auto-awards scholarships based on GPAs , but a quick email sorted that out. So send your transcript and the college will figure it out.

Email colleges you’re interested in and ask what range they consider equivalent to 4.0.

Add up all your predicted scores and see how close to that number you are.
