I'm applying for graduate school in Australia, and I was wondering what do they mean by "must hold a Bachelor degree with an average of at least 65% (or equivalent to Australian 65%)" that is what they stated about grades... what would the 65% be in US standard 4.0 gpa format? thank you for your help!

This means you must be equivalent to at least the 65th percentile of the Australian grade point standard in either standardized testing or prade point average in your high school or undergraduate tranfer transcripts. This would be comparatively to the US 4.0 GPA format in contrast with that of the Australian system of quantifying scores or grades.

65% is a D, so around 2.0 or lower GPA. Unless they mean percentile or something?

65% in Australia is a Credit. Australia uses the following High Distinction (A+ - 85%up), Distinction (A - 75-85%), Credit (B 65-75%), Pass I (C+ 60-65%), Pass II (C - 50-60%), Fail (D - below 50%). The % marks are misleading because they dont really translate to the number of correct answers. In most classes, the majority of students get a P1 or P2, a few get a Credit, fewer still a D, and perhaps one will get a HD (only some classes give these - all the science subjects I did only gave up to a D). So whatever a B is listed at in the US - that is what you need
