College Discussion - View Single Post - converting high school grades from another country?

jvn098 · 04-24-2008, 02:25 AM

I need to know what my GPA is because i'm applying for a program which has a cut-off gpa. The grading system in my high school was quite different, we had numbers instead of letter grades. Is there an easy way to calculate my GPA? I went to a counselor and she gave me a form that I have to fill out and submit to the International Education Research Foundation but its going to cost me $200! surely there's a cheaper alternative?
