If your transcript shows US GPA (4.0 scale) but the form asks for Italian grade, you need a dependable way to translate between them. This tool converts US GPA to Italian grade in one step, shows every band in a full table, and explains what a given grade actually means in Italy.
| US GPA (4.0 scale) | an Italian degree grade out of 110 |
|---|---|
| 4.0 / 4.0 | 110 / 110 |
| 3.7 / 4.0 | 105 / 110 |
| 3.5 / 4.0 | 100 / 110 |
| 3.3 / 4.0 | 96 / 110 |
| 3.0 / 4.0 | 90 / 110 |
| 2.7 / 4.0 | 80 / 110 |
| 2.3 / 4.0 | 72 / 110 |
| 2.0 / 4.0 | 66 / 110 |
The converter works by anchoring both scales on the US 4.0 GPA, which is the most widely recognised reference point for comparing grades internationally. Your US GPA is placed on the 0 to 4.0 scale first, then expressed as Italian grade. Italian laurea grades run out of 110 (110 e lode is top); exams use /30.
Italian laurea grades run out of 110 (110 e lode is top); exams use /30.
The US GPA is the grade point average used across schools and universities in the United States, and it has become the default reference scale for international applications. It runs from 0.0 to 4.0, where 4.0 is a straight-A record and 2.0 is the usual floor for good standing. Most graduate programs look for 3.0 or higher, competitive ones expect 3.5 and up, and anything from 3.7 is treated as excellent.
Italian degree grades are awarded out of 110, with 110 e lode the highest honour and 66 the minimum pass. Individual university exams are marked out of 30, where 30 e lode is the top and 18 is a pass. Because the final laurea grade weights the whole degree, a mark in the 100 to 110 range reflects a consistently strong record.
Enter your US GPA in the calculator above and it maps to Italian grade instantly through the US 4.0 GPA scale, which acts as the common reference between the two systems. The table below shows the full range. It is a close estimate, so for admissions or immigration use your institution's official scale or a credential evaluator such as WES.
No conversion between grading systems is exact, because scales differ by country and institution. Italian laurea grades run out of 110 (110 e lode is top); exams use /30. Treat the result as a reliable estimate rather than an official equivalence, and use a recognised credential evaluator when an application formally requires one.
As a rough guide, the very top of the US GPA scale corresponds to about 110 / 110, and a strong upper result maps to around 100 / 110. The full mapping across every band is in the conversion table above, and the examples show a few common grades in context.
On an international CV it helps to show both: your original US GPA and the Italian grade equivalent in brackets, so a reader in Italy can understand it at a glance without doing the maths. Prezumi's free résumé builder lets you list your GPA, grade, and honours in a clean, ATS-friendly format.
