Hi ,

I am Planning to apply R1 this year to Top 20 Colleges.My GMAT is 640 planning to take in February again. I have six years of US Consulting Experince across various Industries such as Oil, Manufacturing,Healthcare etc.

I have a US Masters in Elecrical Engineering with a GPA 3.33 whereas my Undergrad GPA from an Indian University is 3.9(converted by WES organisation) .

So my question is, in the applications can I just specify my Undergrad GPA and upload only Diploma for my Masters without specifyng the Masters GPA.

Thanks in adavance for your inputs.

Dear Tryingmybest,

Since you did have a GPA in your master's program and will have to submit a transcript showing your GPA, then you do need to disclose your master's GPA. However, I don't think you have anything to worry about with the GPA being a 3.33.

Good luck,
Lisa
