You will not have to convert your CGPA or percentage to what is the standard in the UK as the Admissions Committee is well versed with testing score scale across the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">It&#8217;s important to know that if you are pursuing your undergraduate degree and don&#8217;t have all your transcripts, you will still be eligible to apply. However, your offer will be contingent on you meeting a few conditions set by your university. For example, your offer can be subject to completion of your degree with a First\/Second Division, which could be a certain aggregate percentage or CGPA as well as submitting your official degree certificate. In most cases, the university will accept a provisional degree certificate if you are unable to provide the official degree certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">You may also need to provide grades of other graduate or professional degrees that you\u2019ve pursued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>What are good grades?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Now you might be wondering what good grades are. Well, the definition of good grades varies from university to university, but for most universities, <strong>a minimum aggregate of 70%,<\/strong> and <strong>a cumulative CGPA of 3.5+<\/strong> out of a scale of 4 or <strong>9<\/strong> out of a scale of 10 or <strong>grade A<\/strong> consistently for 3 or 4 years depending on your undergraduate degree is required. A good GPA can be further substantiated by a great GRE or GMAT score. Universities\u2019 Admissions committee understands that things may not always go as planned, and therefore, a GMAT and GRE score is absolutely non-negotiable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/app.unirely.com\/signup\"><strong>UniRely<\/strong><\/a>, our counselors are always available to guide the students and help them get admissions to their desired universities.
