The Vietnamese system is based on a 1-10. point scale, along the same lines as
the US 1.0-4.0. Usually when an American institution asks for a GPA calculated on
the 4 point scale, the student will be expected to do a direct mathematical
conversion, so 10 becomes 4.0, 7.5 becomes 3.0, etc. This makes sense from a
practical standpoint. In reality, however, it is completely inaccurate.
I advise American Colleges and Universities to pay more attention to class rank
and other skills reflected in the application process.
Please be advised also that the practice of most Vietnamese institutions is not to
provide official transcripts to other universities on behalf of their students. Students
must request signed and stamped transcripts from the institution, and then have
them translated and certified correct at a government office.
