How Australia grades convert to US GPA
Band mapping from HD/D/C/P percentage ranges.
Australian universities use HD/D/C/P grades (often with a percentage) and a 7-point GPA or WAM. US evaluators map the percentage bands to 4.0.
Grade equivalents at a glance
| Australia grade | US GPA (est.) | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| HD 85–100 | ~4.0 | High Distinction |
| D 75–84 | ~3.7 | Distinction |
| C 65–74 | ~3.3 | Credit |
| P 50–64 | ~2.3 | Pass |
| < 50 | 0.0 | Fail |
Is this competitive for US admission?
A Distinction average (75%+) is strong for US admission. Australian percentage bands are lower than US ones — a 75 is excellent, not a C. Confirm each programme.
Credential evaluation (WES / ECE)
WES maps the Australian bands directly; transcripts must come from the institution.
For the credit-weighted multi-course version, see the WES iGPA calculator. Indian students wanting a percentage instead can use the CGPA to percentage tool.
