Grades in Masters and MBA admission

by rajmirra » Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:42 am
I have a four years BS in Agriculture from India and my OGPA is 8.76/10. I pursued a Research Thesis Master of Science degree from Canada. The grades in MS are 77% and I have successfully defended my thesis. Have two articles published in refereed journals. How much weightage is given to MS marks or Is admission decision made only based on Undergrad GPAs. Please answer on this query. Thanks a bunch.

Hi Rajmirra,

Your undergraduate GPA is probably the most important, though completing graduate work successfully can certainly improve your academic profile. It looks like your undergraduate GPA was strong, so in your case I don't think there is anything in particular to worry about there.

Good luck!
