Not necessarily. There could be other factors involved such as the student ranking.

If a student with GPA of 5.0 on a 7.0 scale is on top of his class, then this is definitely not a 2.86 when converted to the 4.0 US Scale.

This is the reason why more information is needed before any conversion is made.

2.86 of 4.0 US scale is Second class lower.

Sorry for being inquisitive here. Are you trying to say that a student being the best in his class after graduation, but with a 2:1, has a possible higher CGPA(like you said above) during the conversion process by the school?

I am not a Nigerian. Therefore, I am not verse with the GPA system in Nigeria. I went to school in the States. I have no idea of what you mean by 2:1.

Likewise, the admission boards members of schools in the States may not understand the GPA system in Nigeria. That is why letters of recommendation from your school would come into play whenever they (admission boards in the States)are going through your transcript. There are also centers that can translate the grading system from one country to another.

Maybe a 5.0 on a 7.0 scale in your school would make you a A student (top of the class). And, if this is the case, when converted to the 4.0 scale this GPA would navigate between 3.5 and 4.0.

What I know is that it would be misleading to conclude that 5.0 on a 7.0 scale would be 2.86 when converted to the 4.0 US scale. This isn't a matter of doing just a simple math conversion.

Alright. Thanks for the clarification. I get your point
2:1 actually means a second class upper.
