Can I put my Masters GPA where my Undergraduate GPA is asked

by dendude » Sat Nov 01, 2008 5:25 pm
Hi,

I'm taking the GMAT next week.
I'm a Master's degree holder and the GPA I attained in Masters Degree is better than my UG GPA.
I want to know whether I can put in my PG GPA where asked for the UG GPA on the GMAT.

I want my profile to look better when my score is reported to the school I choose.
Will I run into any trouble for this when I apply to the school?

Please let me know.

Thanks Much

Dear dendude,

Absolutely not--that would be fraudulent as you would be lying about your UG GPA. Schools will compare what you reported for the GMAT to your transcripts, so they will know you did not report the true GPA. As you will have to report your master's GPA as well, they will see you did better in your graduate studies. It is always best to tell the truth--schools will not admit applicants that are not truthful in any part of the application.

Regards,
Lisa

Thanks Lisa. This clears things for me.
I will put in my UG GPA where asked.
But I wasn't sure that the GMAT asks to report the Master's GPA as well.
Anyway I'll keep a look out for it when I take the GMAT next week.
