Which GPA scale should I convert into?

Choose the GPA scale expected by the form, transfer evaluator, or school you are comparing against. Most US schools use 4.0, while some systems use 5.0 or 10.0.

What if my percentage is between two grade bands?

The converter maps your score into the nearest common band and returns the GPA value typically associated with that range.

Can I use this for transfer or scholarship shortlists?

Yes. It helps you quickly compare a percentage-based transcript with GPA-based eligibility requirements before you go deeper into school-specific policies.
