GEMSAS GPA explained.

Understand the number you need for your application, then calculate it with the official GEMSAS tool.

Start with the official calculator

The authoritative calculator is published by GEMSAS. We link you directly to it so your estimate follows its grading conversions and instructions. Key2MD no longer calculates a separate GPA here.

Why your university GPA can differ

A GEMSAS GPA summarises results from the qualifying study used for your medicine application. GEMSAS converts institutional grading scales and applies the relevant year weightings. Your university's own GPA may use a different scale or include different study.

Medical schools also apply their own rules about which study counts. You may therefore have more than one GEMSAS GPA. Check the current entry for each school rather than using one number for every preference.

Use your result to plan your next step

Once you have your GEMSAS GPA, enter it in the Key2MD chances calculator with your other application details. Treat the result as planning guidance, not an offer prediction or a substitute for each school's published requirements.
