GPA conversion

by bhakk » Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:02 am
Hi,

I am from India and passed my graduation with 69.6% from Uttar Pradesh technical University, Lucknow.
In my first attempt while filing the GMAT form, I used the percentage to GPA conversion table given on www.mba.com and convert the 69% = 1.9 GPA.

I have my second attempt in Aug end and while surfing on internet I came to know that GPA conversion process is different and is done by your university/college.

Now, i have 2 questions :
Will I be able to change my GPA during my admission process?
and
Should I go with the same GPA (as calculated using mba.com)or should I go to my college/university for GPA conversion?
Thanks.

Well, a 1.9 is probably totally wrong, knowing what Indian candidates get, and how much harder it is to get higher scores. Look rather at the WES website. But just so you know, this is only necessary for YOUR auto-evaluation. Most school admissions committees will actually use your Indian grades.
