    It's super annoying... I generally go by the UCD one which is broken down really well!

    Its only recently that Irish colleges started doing GPAs as far as I know. THe irish standard was always pass, 2.2, 2.1, 1.1 but then american life crept in especially when UCD Horizons was brought on board. It was a pain though when I was applying for a masters in America and couldnt figure out my GPA for the application based on DIT results.

    I never really got the whole GPA things, it works backwards. 4.0 is good instead of getting a 1.1 which makes sense. Putting in 2.1 makes it seem like a bad result when in Ireland its good.
