Moving from a 100-point scale to a 4.0 scale feels like trying to translate a poem—sometimes things get lost in the process 🎓✈️

The biggest mistake students make is trying to "self-convert" using random tables they found online. This can lead to either underselling your achievements or setting unrealistic expectations for your target schools.

💡 The StudyQA Approach to GPA:

Don't Panic: In many cases, universities prefer your original transcript. They have internal experts who understand your country’s specific system.

Use Trusted Tools: If a conversion is mandatory (like on the Common App), stick to the WES iGPA Calculator. It’s the gold standard for a safe estimate.

Context is King: Your GPA is just one piece of the puzzle. How you present your academic narrative matters just as much as the number itself.

Stop overthinking the numbers and start building a winning strategy.
