Understand the GKS GPA bar

What GPA does GKS actually require?

GKS screens applicants against a single baseline — an 80-out-of-100 average, or a rank inside the top 20% of your class. The catch: “80%” is rarely what your transcript shows. A 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, a 4.0 on a 4.3 scale, and an 88 on a 100-point scale sit at different distances from that bar. This checker converts your GPA, on your own country’s grading scale, into the figure GKS compares.

A private, unofficial first check

Pick your scale, enter your grade, and the estimate runs entirely in your browser — your GPA is never sent to a server, saved, or logged. It tells you whether you likely clear the baseline, not whether you’ll win: GKS also weighs your degree, your TOPIK level, recommendation letters, and your study plan. Confirm every figure against the published GKS guidelines — each number here is dated and sourced.
