About GradeBridge

Know where your grades can take you.

Why this exists

International students face an information gap: a Nigerian student with a 4.2/5.0 CGPA doesn't know if that is competitive for a UK Master's. An Indian student with 78% doesn't know what that means as a US GPA. The official answer — a WES credential evaluation — costs about $200 and takes 4–7 weeks, and it only makes sense to order once you already have a shortlist.

GradeBridge is the step before that: a free, instant estimate of what your grade means in 53 countries, built on the same band-based methodology WES uses, so you can understand your standing, shortlist programmes, and then decide whether the paid evaluation is worth it.

Where the data comes from

Every country's grading bands are checked against a published document that actually shows those bands — usually a Nuffic country module or Scholaro's credential-evaluation database — with the national education authority kept as a cross-check. Each grading system page cites its source and the date we checked it. Where institutional variation makes precise conversion impossible (Sweden's pass/fail transcripts, for example), the tool says so instead of pretending to certainty.

The full method — how the conversion works, where the ranges come from, and what the tool cannot do — is written up on the methodology page.

What GradeBridge is not

It is not an official credential evaluation and universities will not accept a GradeBridge conversion in place of one. For formal US or Canadian applications you will still need WES or ECE — our WES guide explains exactly how that process works.
