What is the GPA conversion in Vietnam?

GPA Conversion from Vietnam to US Institutions

In Vietnam, academic performance is evaluated on a 1-10 scale. To facilitate international comparisons, Vietnamese GPAs can be converted to the 4.0 GPA scale commonly used by US institutions.

Conversion Method

Typically, the Vietnamese GPA is directly converted to the 4.0 scale, using the following equivalencies:

• Vietnamese GPA of 10 = US GPA of 4.0
• Vietnamese GPA of 7.5 = US GPA of 3.0

Calculating Your GPA

Vietnamese students applying to US institutions are typically required to provide a GPA calculated using this conversion method. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Multiply your Vietnamese GPA by 4.
2. Divide the result by 10.

Example

If your Vietnamese GPA is 8.5, you would calculate your US GPA as follows:

US GPA = (Vietnamese GPA x 4) / 10
US GPA = (8.5 x 4) / 10
US GPA = 3.4

Note

Some US institutions may have slightly different conversion scales. It is essential to check with the specific institution you are applying to for their conversion guidelines.
