UK undergrads often find GPA a headache when applying to US grad schools. It's not about the grades themselves, but because UK universities use a percentage system while US graduate programs generally require a 4.0-scale GPA, necessitating WES credential evaluation. So how exactly does WES evaluation work? Today, using University of Glasgow's GPA calculation as an example, we'll guide you step-by-step through UK grade calculation and WES 4.0-scale evaluation for graduate applications.

At the University of Glasgow, first- and second-year (or foundation year) grades are not included in the final degree classification, but this doesn't mean you can overlook them. First- and second-year grades are still relevant for graduate applications. Moreover, the university has requirements for honours degrees, and the calculation method differs:

 

 

√Schedule A refers to the calculation method for Honours degrees

 

√Schedule B is the calculation method for non-Honours degrees

 

—> The difference: simply put, an honours degree carries more prestige than a non-honours degree.

 

 

For example: 20-B3, 20-B1, 20-A2, 20-C2, 10-B3, 10-C3, 10-B2, 10-C1, —> the final result is 14.53
