One of the first and most important terms you’ll encounter in your American adventure is “GPA.” But what exactly is it, why is it so crucial, and how do you calculate it using your international transcript?<\/p>\n
GPA stands for Grade Point Average<\/b>. It’s the average of all your school grades, converted to the American system, which runs on a scale of 0.0 to 4.0. While we in the Netherlands use a grade of 1-10, American schools use letter grades (A, B, C, D, F). Each of these letters has a point value: an A is worth 4.0 points, a B is 3.0, and so on. Your GPA is the weighted average of all these grades and provides a quick overview of your academic performance.<\/p>\n
