If your high school does not use one of the scales listed above, your grades will be converted to a U.S. 4.0 scale. Scores are determined by the AACRAO International Education Services.

The difficulty level and grade distribution of your courses are considered when determining your admission status.

We recommend that you apply six to 12 months before the start of the semester in which you wish to enroll at Mizzou.
