Who is The Absolute Outsider?

Zagreb, Croatia, Croatia
I'm a freshman in college and currently running two blogs in English, one on Wordpress and this one on Blogger. Both of them are educational blogs focusing on international student college applications.

GPA calculator for non-US students is here.

I frankly doubt that something like this already exists. GPA calculator was no problem only to US students and those 'foreigners' who had straight A's in their school reports. Until now.


GPA calculator calculates your grade using:
  • your US grade equivalent
  • credit hours
You can find your US equivalent grade on http://www.wes.org/gradeconversionguide/germany.htm. On your left side there is a menu where you can choose your counrty.

Credit hours refer to the importance of a particular course with regards to the other courses.
If you have every single week the same courses schedule, then your credit hours for particular course mean the number of classes you have this course during one week. E.g. in your weekly schedule you have 5 classes of mathematics, but 3 classes of biology, and 2 classes of foreign language. Then your credit hours are: mathematics (5), biology (3), foreign language (2).
If you have a two-week pattern in your courses schedule, then count the classes during two weeks.

You can find GPA calculator on the left.

What is more you can calculate your GPA by yourself on a sheet of paper. Want to know how? Please subscribe, or stay tuned until the next post.
