Hi Sir,
I really have to put down this doubt that's been clicking me for quite sometime.
The indian system of grading primarily invokes representation of the academic marks in score of 10, while the US GPA equivalent is on a maximum score of 4. I've been told about the WES conversion system which helps us in finding out our US equivalents.
My point is regarding how and what, the US Universities look into while calculating an equivalent for our score. Is it the class rank, class average or the school reputation or the highest GPA obtained by candidates throughout the years in the particular department we are from. Incase it is so, how does the Universities generate such a large database given the fact that most of the universities in India do not furnish such details in the transcripts they provide. Just as a representation, how would the GPA of student look in his US Equivalent if his GPA were to stand equal to the class average.( say maybe 7.0 GPA on 10 point basis)
I was hoping on your opinion based on your experience in this matter.
