Need Help in calculating my GPA

R

Hi I am an MBA grad from India. I am planning to pursue my Phd in the US. I am really confused about how to convert my percentage scores in Bsc (undergrad - non semester) and MBA (semester) into a GPA score. I need to have ballpark so as to guage my chances of getting admitted into courses. I googled a lot and found few methodologies but am not getting to the right one. Numbering my queries,
1. How to convert 100 percent scores to 4 point scale of GPA
2. Should I calculate it subject-by-subject or overall percentage of the program
3. Should I include first and second language marks or only major subjects

Any kind of information in this regard will be of immense help.
Thanks a ton!!!

No, it is never advisable to attempt a conversion. There can be no conversion cchart and it would make absolutely no sense. So even if someone said a BA degree from India can be convertd into GPA via XYZ routes, and someone had a 65% in English literature from india (which may be exceptionally good in many Indian universities, for literature is sooooo stringently graded), then that person would get a very low GPA.

Universities know this very well as you arent the first one with this problem. I'vce applied to many US unis for PhDs and got through and nowehere did I even attenpt to convert my marks.
