China Grades to US GPA Conversion

Converting China grades to a US GPA matters for university applications, scholarship forms, and credential evaluations. China uses 100-point percentage marks, while American institutions expect results on the 4.0 scale — this guide shows the standard equivalencies and the caveats evaluators actually apply.

What to know before you convert

Chinese universities grade on a 100-point scale where 60 is the passing line. Many top universities publish their own official GPA algorithms (Peking University’s 4.0 formula is widely borrowed), so check whether your institution provides one before applying a generic table.

Converting the rest of your application

Once you know your equivalent GPA, our College GPA Calculator lets you recompute semester and cumulative figures on the 4.0 scale, and the CGPA to Percentage Calculator handles the reverse direction when a form asks for marks instead. Remember that official evaluations (WES, ECE, or a university’s own international office) are what admissions committees ultimately rely on — use these charts to plan, and the official evaluation to submit.
