Hello, I consider applying MBA and have one concern.

My GPA - undergraduate is 3.3, and my graduate GPA is 2.9.
I got A for my thesis for master.

I know I should show good performance in GMAT or GRE.
Now I wonder how my GPA for MBA admission is calculated and affects.
May I know any idea how GPA is calculated - is it averaged or only one GPA is take into account ?

I really appreciate if you could help me.

Regards,

Dear Akirab,

Your undergraduate GPA stands alone, as does your graduate GPA. Both are important in your evaluation as an applicant for business school. You will submit transcripts from both degrees as part of your application as the admissions committees will want to see your performance in individual courses.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
