GPA Question

Kalfurt, prenons cela sous la forme d'humour .... Un peu grinçant, qu'en penses-tu?

oh come on, mes chers.

I lived among you folks for a year and got my fair share of ribbing about my fat compatriots. And of course i love you all - you taught met to make fun of Les Rosbeefs, which somes in handy when PMing Rhyme.

Vous avez perdue le sens d'humeur chez Pearson, ou quoi?

J'ai pris cela pour un compliment de la part d'un americain! ou resident aux USA.
Ce qui est suspect est l'absence de fautes...

Anyway, it seems I shouldn't bother with the score I reported. I even don't know if 3.5 is good or medium. But the guys at GMAC are really stupid because they ask hundreds of uninteresting questions used for their stats. They could have indicated at least which info would be published.

I posted my answer above before seeing yours.
Don't worry, it was funny.It seems you are aware that french have also their opinion about americans!

Amen! I firmly believe that everything related to GMAC is horrible.

Et, mefie-toi - c'est la part d'UNE ameriCAINE.

But really, I lived in France for a year - near Arraas - and attended a French high school. Passed the French Bac with a 14, I did. Parler francais c'est devenu un peu difficile, mais j'arrive quand meme.

Et ecoute - je sais qu'en general les americains sont des nuls linguistiques, mais il y en a qui sont un peu plus intelligents que le reste....moi y inclus!!

Ok, eh bien je me souviendrai desormais que tu es une fille un peu plus intelligente que les autres. And 14 is really good, especially for a foreigner. Congrats! I think I had about 11.

Il vaut mieux, mon gar.



Ca etait, le GMAT?

Merde!

*painfully thinks how to build a phrase having a one-word vocab*

Good contribution.

Next, I shall teach you a most important French phrase:

Passez-moi le fromage puant, s'il vous plait.

(Pass me the stinky cheese, please.)

Merci beaucoup, vous êtes très aimable! (*oh, the beloved Rocquefort...*)

aaudetat, interesting

Apart the french cheezes/wines/frogs, what marked u the most in France?

Guys...I have the same problem. I put my GPA as 3.0/4.0. Translating that from a 7.5/10(Asian student our GPA is on scale of 10). However i believe my GPA should be more than 3.0 on the US scale, since our univ topper was 9.1/10. And more than half of my class was below 7.5.

I put 3.0 on my GMAT profile. My GMAT score has already been received at all my target schools.

I am thinking what they'll think looking at a 3.0.

aaudetat, I got a 670

Braindancer, the few words you spelled without mistakes are some of the most important in French. Keep studying!

Iimjimmy, reading your post, I discovered how the GPA score works. So 3.5/4 is pretty good far above my level at university. So some schools might think that your GPA is very low whereas they will think I tried to cheat them!

I guess i am screwed. Why the heck did i not leave that field blank.

I really don't think so. I don't know this, of course, but I think it's likely that schools are going to base their understanding of your academic history on the fields you enter yourself and, more importantly, on your transcript.

Think about it. Did the GMAT folks give you a space for other GPAs? To explain? No. Did they even tell you that you needed to check your transcript before coming in? To be honest, I wasn't totally sure exactly what my GPA was - I had to guess a bit, because I hadn't looked at my transcript yet.

I bet that that field is used for exactly two purposes: institutional research on the part of GMAC and so schools can run you through their filter and decide whether or not to send you unsolicited PR materials.

Relax. There is a lot more to worry about in this process.

Thanks very much. You're right, there's so much else to worry about.

I just realized there are so many people in this forum who messed up their undergrad GPA's but have outstanding GMAT's.

right.. there really isn't a whole a lot of space to say much..i'm sure its just for PR materials..

I have computer science and business degree, but you could only select one major while taking the test...I thought I selected business administration.. but when the score report came back..

Business Education?...guess I was in a nervous rush
