How to convert UK score to GPA?

Question

Hi guys,

So I've seen a lot of applications on here, but most use the American GPA system when evaluating a profile. I've looked on the web, but could not find a decisive answer to the question of how to convert my undergraduate grade from the UK Grade to GPA. I have a weighted average of 68%, thus 2% shy of a first-class degree, and I am not sure whether that would translate to about 3.8 GPA, higher or lower, when applying to a business school. Thank you to anyone who could help.

Most of the time schools want you to report your native GPA without conversion. This of course somewhat depends on the program and their familiarity with your country/institution. I know many of the Indian applicants just report their CGPA score in the native format.

Most of the schools ask the home country GPAs only. For your understanding, the below link may help you. https://gpacalculator.net/grade-convers ... d-kingdom/

Some programs ask applicants not to convert their GPA to the American scale, but report their GPA in the original scale and explain what the scale was if needed. You can find some info on GPA conversions here: https://aringo.com/gpa-conversions/

Before you start converting you let me save you a lot of effort and tell you that you don’t need to do it.
Since you haven’t mentioned which business school you’re applying to, I can’t tell you for sure whether you would need it or not, but most business schools do not ask for a GPA conversion done by a student. Any business school, whether in the US or the UK, will ask for your complete transcript from your previous course. 
They can use this transcript to do the conversions themselves through software they trust and sometimes even pay a small fortune for. Or they could simply look at your performance in certain courses to ensure that you’ll be able to handle the rigor of the MBA program.
London Business School’s statement about the application requirements proves my point, “A transcript of grades from each university you have attended (if you are made an offer). Transcripts also require a certified translation into English.”
So, before you invest too much time and energy in trying to convert your GPA, please check your school’s website under the application requirements or the FAQs section, and make sure your school requires a converted GPA.

That’s a good point having a general idea of how your grades translate or affect your academic profile really helps. You can also check out this GPA calculator for students managing grades — it's a simple tool to visualize your academic standing based on inputs.
