Hi Guys-
I needed a quick clarification regarding the app form for Stanford.
For the education section, Stanford gives explicit instructions to
"Report/calculate your GPA, to the best of your ability, even if your institution does not list it on your transcript. If necessary, you may explain how you report it in the Additional Information section."
I am an Indian candidate who received UG scores on a % basis and not GPA. The form does not allow me to enter % so is it wise to convert my % scores to GPA using an indicator like WES. If not, what is the best way to enter the percentages?
Also, I know my rank in class unofficially (rank not listed on the transcript). Do you guys think I should mention it, given its unofficial??
Any help will be really appreciated.
Wish you guys all the best with the app process!!
I would recommend you to enter your percentage marks under cummulative GPA and 100 under scale.
This clearly shows that you got 80(say) out of 100 that means 80%.
And about the class rank - I would suggest you to enter the rank only if its really good (say within 15%) It doesnt matter if you have proof to show for it. They will never ask that. Just dont lie. If you are say in the top 35%, dont mention it as top 15%. It better to leave it as blank.
