Hi,

I was registering an appointment for GMAT when I found that my percentage score of 54% in undergrad was equivalent to a CGPA score of 0.4. Since my graduation in 2006, I have a total work experience of over 3 years. I do not have much of extra curricular activities to show, however, I have been among the top performers during my 3 years experience. I am worried about how detrimental would this to my application to B-schools. Also, how can I work to show that I am still a good candidate for the course?

Request urgent help on this.

Thanks,
Vineet

are you sure it is 0.4 ? is this american university? I dont think it is possible to graduate with something like that? when you mentioned percentage (54%) maybe you did the calculation wrong?

Dear rakkey1,

It is unlikely that a 54% at an international university, where you were awarded a degree, is equivalent to a 0.4 in the US. The conversion between most international schools and the US 4.0 system is not that simple. I would guess you are probably more in the 2.3-2.8 range, but for an accurate conversion, it would be best to have your transcript evaluated by a professional credentialing service. You might also be able to find a good conversion table on some of the business school oriented websites.

Good luck,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa for your help. However, the conversion in itself is causing me confusions. While registering an appointment at mba.com, I came across a section asking me for my GPA score and provided the following conversion chart:

Can you please help me under which bracket would I fall?

Your help is highly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Vineet
