Converting Australian Grades to GPAs

by jauntybush » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:04 pm
Hi all,

I have undertaken extensive research on converting Australian Grades to GPAs but haven't been able to find a conversion guide. Unforuntately I can't do a straight conversion from the HD/7-scale to GPA, so I've done it in two steps. The two main resources I've used are:

The world education standards, to convert from the 7 point scale to the US A-F scale.

And the Columbia scale to convert the A-F scale to the 4 point GPA.

Grade//A-F Scale//GPA
HD//A+//4
D//A//4
C//B//3
P//C//2
PC//D//1

Can anyone provide advice or experience on this one. Not knowing your GPA is one of the more frustrating parts of the application process!
