Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good GPA for graduate school?
For top graduate programs in the US, a GPA of 3.5+ on a 4.0 scale is generally competitive. For MBA programs, 3.3+ is often acceptable. However, requirements vary by program and can be offset by strong test scores and experience.
How do I convert my GPA to a different scale?
To convert between scales, first determine your percentage equivalent, then map it to the target scale. For example, a 3.5/4.0 US GPA (87.5%) converts to approximately 2:1 in the UK system or 6.5/10 in the Indian system.
Does GPA matter for jobs?
GPA matters most for entry-level positions and competitive employers like investment banks, consulting firms, and tech companies. Many require 3.0+ minimum. After 2-3 years of work experience, GPA becomes less relevant.
What's the difference between weighted and unweighted GPA?
Unweighted GPA treats all classes equally on a 4.0 scale. Weighted GPA gives extra points for honors, AP, or IB classes (often up to 5.0). Colleges typically consider both when evaluating applications.
