Formula used: GPA = 5 - GWA. This is an approximation.
Simple conversion
A quick approximation is GPA = 5 - GWA. It keeps the direction correct: lower GWA is better, higher GPA is better.
Why results can differ
Some schools convert by percentage ranges, some by letter grades, and some evaluate each subject separately. Always follow the table required by the receiving school.
Example
A 1.50 GWA estimates to a 3.50 GPA. A 2.25 GWA estimates to a 2.75 GPA.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put this GPA on an application?
Use it only if the application allows estimated conversion. Otherwise submit the original GWA.
Is 1.75 GWA a good GPA?
Using the simple estimate, 1.75 is about 3.25 GPA, generally a strong result.
