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.

Hi there,

Generally you will be able to list the academics in the format that your school provided them in, and MBA admissions offices do the conversions. If you need to do conversions, you could try asking your school but often the US universities do their own. The schools will look at your actual transcripts too.

Best,
Jen

"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."
