Hello,
Until I looked into pursuing an MBA I'd never heard of the term GPA. I've completed a French Baccalaureat and we never use this term, then I completed an undergrad and a Masters in the UK where I also never heard of it.
I've used a tool to calculate my GPA (https://www.foreigncredits.com/Resources/GPA-Calculator/ ) in high school, then my undergrad and masters but I think for the MBA most people seem to quote their undergrad (BA / BSc...) GPA?
Can anyone clarify what is considered as my gpa for MBA applications? high school, undergrad, masters or cumulating all?
My scores for undergrad translated to 3.23... would this qualify as average since it's under 3.5?
Any help in understanding this requirement is grately appreciated.
Thank you

Only Undergrad or higher matters, and NOT high school. Just so you know, in most cases you will just send the school your French grades and they will figure out what it is worth.

Hi Jon
Thank you for confirming.
Now would this mean that I should assume my gpa is undergrad + masters or are they looked at seperately?

Hi Busytrying,
The primary GPA (Grade Point Average) that MBA Admissions Committees are interested in is your undergraduate GPA. You are going to want to submit your undergraduate GPA as a separate figure from any other GPAs. Each GPA for each degree is reported separately.
Best of luck!
