<p>yeah I have seen that conversionguide as well. but it doesn’t convert the swedish grades to GPA so it would be nice if you guys have something else to come up with…</p>

<p>How is the grading in Sweden?</p>

<p>Jonathan1, the grading in Sweden is like this:
MVG ( pass with special distinction) - highest grade and worth 20.
VG ( pass with distinction) worth 15
G (pass) worth 10
IG (fail) worth 0</p>

<p>So MVG is like an A, VG a B and G a C. </p>

<p>And faze, as it says on that site “The grading scale used in Sweden does not lend itself to a U.S. grading scale equivalency.” The grading system in US is very different, they have the unweighted and weighted-blaha and there’s the + and -thing and the grades are worth different in different schools. But if you go after that MVG is an A and so on it would be like 20 = 4.0, 15 = 3.0 and 10 = 2.0. Anyway, as long as you have over 15 you’ll probably get in to a good university but if you want to get in to a top school you have to have mostly of the highest grade, over 18 or something like that.</p>

<p>Lulea! Im not sure that an MVG corresponds to an A and VG to a B an so on. Because if you look at the conversionguide above you can see that France seems to have a similar 20point-system as we have in Sweden. And according to this table you can see that a VG should be like an A. And an A gives you a GPA of 4.0 if Im not wrong. All this is very confusing as you can see =) so please state your own opinion and tell me what you think.</p>

<p>you shouldn’t waste a thought on converting your swedish grades to GPA. let the adcom see a copy of your transcript. it’s their job. moreover, the level of difficulty in school system terms is not comparable.</p>

<p>When I applied I didn’t convert at all. Simply explain what the grades stand for, and you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>I haven’t got a clue. I am completely unfamiliar with that school and their policies, but generally a lot of other things matter as well, apart from your grades.</p>
