For me they actually didn't, there are two admissions tracks, quota 1 and quota 2. The first is much more based on your "gpa" type thing, which is converted by the educational institution you apply for. The danish grades system is strange, a 12 point scale, with the only possible grades being 0 (a fail), 2 (barely passed), 4, 7, 10, and 12 (excellent grade). Personally my A levels results weren't great so I applied via quota 2, where it is more about the personal statement you submit and other external achievements. I had done work in open source and won some programming competitions which meant I got in relatively easily. Amusingly enough they did want me to submit proof of my English proficiency which was hard because I had never done an exam in it but it was easy enough with a phone call to resolve that (presumably partly because they could hear me conducting the phone call in english aha) here you can find the guidelines they use to convert foreign exams https://ufm.dk/uddannelse/anerkendelse-og-dokumentation/find-vurderinger/eksamenshaandbogen/lande-og-eksaminer https://ufm.dk/uddannelse/anerkendelse-og-dokumentation/find...
