Required Academic Credentials from Non-U.S. Institutions

Calculate a self-reported estimated GPA for all non-U.S. institutions attended. The self-reported estimated GPA indicated on the ApplyWeb application must match the GPA on the Scholaro report.

1. Follow the GPA calculation instructions to convert your international average grade point to a U.S. 4.0 scale using the Scholaro GPA Calculator.
   • Applicants must select the same grading scale indicated on their transcript to calculate their estimated U.S. GPA.
   • The uploaded Scholaro report will be audited against the uploaded transcripts.
   • Omission of grades or failure to use the correct grading scale when completing the Scholaro report may lead to the reversal of an offer of admission.
2. Enter all your courses, credits/hours, and grades in the same order as they appear on your transcripts into the Scholaro GPA Calculator. Do not omit any grades or courses.
3. All applicants who attended non-U.S. institutions must upload both the Scholaro GPA report and a copy of their official transcript for each degree completed or in progress.
4. If your institution does not award grades or your grades are not yet awarded, enter 0.0 as your GPA. A Scholaro GPA report is not required from those with no grades.
5. Select “United States” and complete the Scholaro report using the United States 4.0 scale if the following is true about your transcript:
   • It is from a non-U.S. institution
   • The scale for the institution is a 4.0/4.3
   • The 4.0/4.3 scale is not listed as an option for your country in Scholaro
6. If you are unable to find your institution’s scale for your country, please contact Scholaro GPA Help for assistance.

Example: China Transfer Transcript

If you attended an institution in China for the first two years of your bachelor’s degree before transferring to another institution for the final years of your bachelor’s degree, do the following:

• Calculate the GPA from each institution and enter the estimated converted GPA in the space provided

Example: India Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree and the Required Two-Year Master’s Degree

Calculate both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees GPA according to the appropriate scale.

Example: Bologna Degree (European Higher Education)

If you attended more than one European institution to complete degree requirements, (example: you attended two years at your home institution in Spain and then you studied one year in France and returned to your home institution in Spain), you must submit official academic records from all institutions where you completed coursework toward the degree.

• The diploma supplement is acceptable for completed programs when submitting your official transcripts and diplomas (a copy of the original diploma attested by the institution awarding the degree is acceptable).
  • Example 1: if you completed secondary education in the U.K., Italy, or Germany and you have earned a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of 180 ECTS, then you are eligible to apply for admission.
  • Example 2: if you completed secondary education in France, Switzerland, or Russia, you must have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree with180 ECTS, plus a minimum of 60 ECTS completed towards a master’s degree.

English translations must be literal, word for word translations in the same format as the original academic record.
