Heya I'm pretty much trying to organize a way for my sweetie to take classes in the US...she is from Ireland. The school requires a 2.0. What I'm confused over...is the point system in Ireland is only given out for the leaving cert...so is that what I'd use for the GPA? or would I calculate every single grade she ever got between junior cert and leaving cert? She tells me they don't even count grades except the junior and leaving cert...I'm really confused over this... One year she had to skip her final grades because of family abuse issues and having to be in social worker offices...but apparently because Ireland doesn't consider that year important they didn't have her take the tests over....How do I do this?

Ok...then...let's say someone took 7 classes...in 2006...1 (math) was an E and the rest were C's...would that still count as a 2.0?

How do they factor in lower levels? It says on the lower scale a 20 is a C...how is that all factored in towards GPA then...

What age is she and what is she trying to do? Seriously get in touch with wherever she wants to get into. There is a way of converting Irish grades into a GPA but I have yet to see someone on this sort of website who managed to do so properly. The college she is thinking of applying to will be able to though. Also she presumably needs to do SAT's etc. This website is aimed at those who already have degrees or almost have degrees in law but there are others such as thestudentroom which have people applying to undergrad courses. I would also point out that Irish grades are on three levels foundation, ordinary and higher which adds to the difficulty in translating into a GPA and that if your hypothetical is right she failed maths at whatever level she did it.

Does anyone no what 300 CAO points converted into GPA?
