GPA ISSUE

by sanchitsharma3 » Thu Feb 25, 2010 7:00 am
HI there

I am Sanchit Sharma from INDIA. I have finished my graduation in BBS ( Bachelor in Bushiness Studies ) from SHAHEED SUKHDEV COLLEGE OF BUSINESS STUDIES ( DELHI UNIVERSITY), The BEST under grad b-school in the country, but my issue is in such a competitive environment I have amassed 63% in my graduation (Highst was 75%). In my course there is percentage system not GPA so if i convert it to GPA its coming around 1, which I feel is not the correct indicator because the level of competition is tough and checking is strict.

Now please throw some light on how can I convey my case to universities?? and will they understand it?? also tell me is it better to do your graduation in easier courses from low level college to get good marks and good GPA???

please help

Thanking you in ADVANCE

WITH WARM REGARDS
SANCHIT

Hi Sanchit,

Thanks for your post. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your undergrad performance. It sounds like it was a rigorous environment. It's important to keep in mind that your GPA is only one component in the academic portion of your bschool applications. When reviewing the academic profile of an applicant, adcoms will look at the institution (it's reputation in terms of challenge and competitiveness), your course of study and GPA. All of these factors are considered, so for instance, someone who went to a low ranked program and studied art history and has a US grade C average, wouldn't be looked upon as fondly as someone who perhaps went to a more challenging university and majored in biology and had a US grade B average. It's also important to remember that GMAT is part of the academic review. In your case, getting a solid GMAT score will certainly help mitigate your GPA.

Best,

Stacey
