I asked for a feedback and got to know my low GPA was the reason why I was waitlisted.
Seems to be some confusion with my GPA conversion. I have sought clarification.

Show more

7.88/10 NIT Rourkela Chemical Engineering 2008 batch.
I used the following URL to calculate my US equivalent GPA ->

https://www.foreigncredits.com/Resources/GPA-Calculator/

and got a GPA of 3.57.

Mendoza has an average GPA of 3.3.

There is a confusion in grading scale - for e.g. In NITs and IITs, C grade corresponds to an absolute marks of 60 to 69.
Whereas in US grading scale it will be considered as B+.
C will be 40 to 49 in US.

That way my grade points have gone down to shocking 2.87!!!

So I submitted my application for R1 on the 13th of Oct.

No interview invite yet - Is it time to let go ? Considering tons of interview invites have already been floated.

Try to use the Letter Grade Conversion Scheme, That seems to be much closer to our grading systems.

I wouldn't count yourself out until you get the final word. A few weeks back, I looked through last year's admission posts on this board. There were a couple of applicants that received very late invites. Some even had an interview a day or two before the final decision. Could happen again, you never know. Also might help to confirm they have everything needed for your application. Should be under the Application Status tab, on the application portal.

Hey.. Had my interview today. Below are the questions..

- Tell me something about yourself
- Why MBA
- Why Mendoza
- Example of ethical dilemma
- Example of Teamwork
- Then there was a guess-estimate. How many people are trekking globally right now? : gave a figure with my assumptions.. Fingers crossed.. :roll:
- Then little more digging - Instead of assuming, how would I go about collecting information to come to a more credible number... Attempted.. Not sure how this one went!!
- any questions for me.

Overall a conversational interaction though not sure how I fared in the guess-estimate.. :-D

I hope this helps guys...

Hi there!

Does anyone know if a voluntary interview before an application is submitted is considered as the interview for your application profile?

Thanks!
