To be more specific - do schools in Australia look at an incoming grade as a letter or percentage?
In other words, does it go from "Non-Australia percentage --> Australia GPA", or does it go from "Non-Australia percentage --> letter grade --> Australia GPA"?
The reason I ask is because I have a bunch of grades that would be amazing in my within-country 4.0 GPA scale (they would be a 3.9)... but they would be converted to an "A" letter, which is only a 6.0 out of 7.0 GPA in some Australian schools. So I'm wondering if I'd actually have a worse GPA in Australia than if I applied in my home country.
So I'm simply wondering if most Australian schools look at my "percentage grades" on my transcript or if they first convert them to letters and then look at them.
Thanks!
