Convert your GPA for US universities

Turn your CGPA, percentage, or national grades into a US 4.0 GPA — plus which credential evaluator (WES / ECE) you need and the GPA that's competitive for grad school.

Why your GPA needs converting

US universities read grades on a 4.0 scale. If your transcript is in CGPA, percentage, or a national letter system, admissions offices — and especially graduate programmes — will either recalculate it or ask you to submit a credential evaluation. Getting an accurate estimate early tells you which programmes are realistic before you spend money on applications.

For graduate (Master's / PhD) applicants

Most US grad programmes expect roughly a US 3.0 minimum, with competitive and funded programmes looking for 3.3–3.5+. Many require a course-by-course WES or ECE evaluation sent directly to the school. WES doesn't multiply your CGPA by a flat number — it maps each grade to a 4.0 band and credit-weights the result, which is exactly what our WES-method iGPA calculator does.

For undergraduate applicants

Freshman and transfer applicants are usually evaluated on their secondary-school record and any completed college credit. Requirements vary widely by school — check each university's international-admissions page, and use our per-country converters below for a planning estimate.

Which credential evaluator do you need?

The main US services are WES (most widely accepted), ECE, SpanTran, and Educational Perspectives. For grad school, choose a course-by-course report (it produces a GPA); for some undergrad or licensing uses a document-by-document report is enough. Always confirm which evaluator and report type your target school accepts — they are not interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions

What GPA do I need for a US master's degree?
Most programmes set a floor around a US 3.0; competitive and funded programmes look for 3.3–3.5 or higher. Convert your CGPA/percentage first, then compare against each programme's stated minimum.
Is WES or ECE better?
Both are widely accepted; WES is the most commonly requested. What matters is that you order the report type your school asks for (usually course-by-course for grad school) and have it sent directly to the university.
Does WES just multiply my CGPA?
No. WES maps each grade to a US 4.0 band and credit-weights across your courses. A flat multiplier (like CGPA×0.4) is inaccurate — our WES iGPA calculator uses the band method.
Can I apply with an unofficial GPA estimate?
Use estimates only for planning and shortlisting. Applications require an official evaluation or your sealed transcript, depending on the school.
