GPA conversion

Question

If some University asks to convert your 10 point GPA to a 4 point GPA, is the minimum threshold still considered ( for most US colleges it is 3.0)

In some websites like scholaro (which is suggested by the University) an 8+ GPA is getting converted to a grade below 3. How accurate is this?

Hi Srinjayee, 
For official scores, you might have to get a WES evaluation done. The usual consideration is given in a table in the link below: https://yocket.com/blog/how-to-convert-10-point-cgpa-to-4-point-gpa 
Hope this helps!

Yes it helps. But if you consider University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, they ask you to use a website called scholaro. And according to scholaro, an 8+ GPA converts to a grade below 3. So i wanted to know if universities actually look at the converted grades or they evaluate seperately based on our transcript

A grade conversion is never really accurate right which is why most universities don't ask you to. But what is the reason some universities still ask for it. Could you please shed some light on this?
