GPA to Percentage Converter
Need your GPA as a percentage? Or a percentage as GPA? This comes up constantly when you're applying to international universities that use a different grading system than yours.
GPA and Percentage Are Not Universal
A 3.7 GPA at one school isn't the same as 3.7 at another. And internationally? Forget about it. Indian universities use percentages. US schools use the 4.0 scale. Germany has a 1-5 system where 1 is the best. If you're applying across borders, you need a way to translate between them.
Common GPA-to-Percentage Mappings
4.0 = 93-100%. 3.7 = 90-92%. 3.3 = 87-89%. 3.0 = 83-86%. 2.7 = 80-82%. 2.3 = 77-79%. 2.0 = 73-76%. Quick heads up: these are ballpark numbers. Your specific school might map things differently. For anything official, check with the institution. But this gives you a really good starting point.
