The application mentions "Please convert your GPA to a 4.0 scale". But it also has a field where we can mention the scale (Ex: out of 10)
Is it mandatory for International students to convert GPA to 4.0 scale?

My univ gave me a GPA on a scale of 10.

I went with the tweet, which was originally my last choice due to how difficult I thought it would be. I ended up with 140 characters that I was happy with so I'm sticking with it.

I didn't know this either. I figured any interviews would be waiting until after the Round 1 closing date.

Now I'll have to check my status more often, I submitted a few days ago.

Done with my interview. It was quite fun.

A 2nd year gal took my interview. She was quite hot, so took me a couple of minutes to settle down. :lol:

I thought she was tkn d interview for the first time.

After 15 minutes she had nthn to ask and kept on askn me if i had any questions. After a few questions when i said i had none other, she talked about herself, the school, city for next 15 min. She was very cheerful, kept on laughing and smiling.

Overall a vry good half hour.

P.S- I asked her, she said its not rolling process but you will get interview invite in 15-20 days of your submission. Decision in Dec

Interview on campus all wrapped up. Campus and the area of town seemed nice to me, I haven't been to Houston too often. I thought the interview went very well, though it is tough to tell sometimes. My interviewer, a second year student, was very friendly and I thought she did a great job with the interview.

Reviewing in my head afterwards there may have been one detail she misunderstood (not totally sure), but if she were to review my resume it would be more clear. It seems minor so hopefully I'm just overthinking it.

Good luck to everyone else.
