Hello Everyone,

I have moved to Spain and would like to obtain a spanish university degree (grado) in medicine. I have a BA from the U.S. and I was told my the Ministerio de Cultura y Educaci?n that one of the ways to enter the spanish university system is as a “titulado universitario” where your university grade average is your entry average. I would get my Bachelors validated to a generic “grado academico” and “technicians” would calculate my entry average grade based on my american average/GPA. But how is the U.S. GPA system converted to the Spanish system? Everyone says grading is much harsher in Spain, so will my 9.2 (3.64 GPA) average get significantly decreased? Currently the cut off for “titulados universitarios” is 8.5-8.7, seems too good to be true and I’m planning my future based on this! Quite scary!

Thank you for all your help, this website is awesome!!!
