Dear II,

In my opinion, the best avenue to get an assessment of your academic transcript and GPA conversion is to have an evaluation/credentialing service review your transcript. World Evaluation Services and Global Credential Evaluators are the two most trusted by schools. Some schools have their own conversion charts posted inside their applications, but I think the evaluation service is best as it will be accepted by a large majority of schools.

Good luck,
Lisa
