How do I convert CGPA to GPA?
To convert CGPA to GPA (4.0 scale), multiply your CGPA by 4 and divide by your scale's maximum. For example, a 8.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale equals (8.5 / 10) Γ 4 = 3.4 GPA. GradeAtlas handles this automatically for all major scales.
Is 7.5 CGPA good for US universities?
A 7.5 CGPA on a 10-point scale converts to approximately 3.0 on the US 4.0 scale, which meets minimum requirements at many US universities. Top programs typically prefer a 3.5+ equivalent (8.75+ CGPA).
What is the difference between CGPA and GPA?
CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) is the overall average across all semesters, while GPA can refer to either a single semester or cumulative total. In the US, GPA typically refers to CGPA. Both use weighted credit averages.
How accurate is CGPA to GPA conversion?
Accuracy depends on the conversion method. GradeAtlas uses WES-aligned methodology with country-specific grading tables verified from official sources, making it significantly more accurate than simple ratio formulas.
