CGPA to GPA calculator provides an accurate result. It is based on the common formula (CGPA/10)*4. It is not official. Universities may use their own specific conversion methods.

The Columbia College acceptance rate stands at 96% which means that it is not that difficult to get admission. The students don't really need a very high GPA. For programs like BTech, the students need 70% marks in high school. Also, the students need to show English language proficiency too.

The Michigan State University uses a holistic approach while evaluating the profiles of the candidates who applied. However, while not the sole deciding factor, academics do prove to be one of the major criteria. International students must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.5 or higher with strong grade performance. So you can get into MSU with even a 2.5 GPA.
