bachelor degree GPA/age queries

hi stacy, i have a bachelor degree with 2nd class upper honours from a non-US university. as the subjects which i took in my final (4th year Honours) year were not given letter/number grades but simply written as "passed with 2nd Class Upper Honours" on the result slips, how can i convert these into a GPA format if i apply to US universities? will this affect my applications?

also, will i be too old if i am 31 or 32? does the age issue refer more to "entry age (age when starting MBA studies)" or "application age (age when submitting applications)"

appreciate your advice on these Smile

Hi there,
I am finding that different schools have different approaches to converting your GPA. You should contact your target schools and see how they want you to approach this.

Age refers to the age when you start the program. 31-32 is above average, but not too old to be admitted!
