The GPA is a measure of a student's average grades, used for admission to schools and for obtaining scholarships in the United States.
In short:
A GPA is the average of your grades, expressed as a number on a scale from 0.0 to 4.0.
To calculate a GPA, you need to convert your grades to American standards, often with the help of a recognized third party. For international students, it is important to know which subjects and grades count towards the GPA, and how to convert word assessments such as 'sufficient' or 'very good' to American grades.
