you're kidding me...

Here I was freaking out about the "first class with distinction" requirement for admission to UK grad schools, and it's only the equivalent of a 2.0? Boggle. Not that I'm going to slack, I still need 3.5 to have a chance in the US :>.
Thanks for the info!

I'm afraid the percentage equivalents are completely unhelpful for actual grade conversions. Sorry for getting your hopes up!

A first class degree is equivalent to a grade point of at very least 3.5. In other words, you're aiming at the same US grade range regardless of which side of the ocean you want to do your degree. Most institutions (especially British ones receiving US applicants) know how to convert from one system to the other.

I realize that I titled my chart rather confusingly. No wonder you thought I meant they were literal equivalents! In order to further avoid confusing people, I've changed the graph title to hopefully be more helpful. Thanks for inadvertantly making me realize how vague I'd been.
