High School GPA Conversion
The University of Kansas uses a student's GPA on a 4.0 scale to make an admission decision. If your school does not use a 4.0 scale, please use the conversion table below to convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale from the scale your school uses. Please report your converted GPA on the 4.0 scale on your application.
Is your GPA not on this list? Here is the general conversion formula your can use:
([Your GPA]) X 4.0 / ([Your GPA Scale])
So, if your GPA is 4.1 on a 4.5 scale, the formula looks like this:(4.1) X (4.0 / 4.5) = 3.64
