GPA conversion

by bhakk » Fri Aug 09, 2013 10:21 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.

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
