Hello guys,
I am an indian applicant and wish to apply R2.
I have a small confusion. I was going through FAQ on Rice website. It says:
If you have completed an equivalent four-year degree but your GPA is not in the 4.0 GPA format, you must convert it to the 4.0 scale in order to enter your GPA accurately into the online application. To obtain an English credential translation (required) or evaluation (recommended), please contact one of the following companies:
Educational Credential Evaluators
SpanTran Educational Services
For a small fee, you can use an online tool to convert your G.P.A. to a 4.0 scale. You must fax, scan, or mail the printed GPA calculation that lists the grades and courses as you entered them.
Where on the application portal, I saw:
Do not recalculate GPA, and do not report if not printed on transcript.
1) What have others done? Do we need to convert it?
2) As far as I could understand, I do not need to send official transcripts now, uploads would be fine. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
