For any UK student who wants to study abroad in the United States, it is expedient that you convert your GPA to US GPA in advance. This would allow you to know if you meet the GPA requirement of the school to you wish to gain admission.
Let it be known that although the 4.00 grade is the most popular grading system in the United States, there are other forms that different schools adopted. So, if you want to convert your UK GPA to US grade, please ensure that you had verified which grading system is been used by the school.

Conversion is easy. I mean very easy. There are some companies that convert UK degree to US GPA for a fee. You can use their services but if you do not have that luxury, then you should learn how to convert yourself.
Things you need to convert UK GPA to US GPA.

US schools will accept your transcripts in the format that your local university issues them.

Some universities use 1.67 in place of 1.7 and 1.33 in place 1.3, but this difference does not significantly affect the resulting GPA. For a few schools, anything below 65 is 0. A+ is sometimes converted to 4.3 (or 4.33) points, but many universities do not have an A+.
