Hi friends!

I have one question regarding my GPA and application to B-Schools.

My recent postgraduate or master degree is in Computer Sc or MSC (completed in 2002) with 78% in total or some 3.6 GPA on scale 4.

We have three years of undergraduate degree program in our country and percent system instead of GPA. My undergraduate degree is in Medical Sc with 61% (GPA 2. something on scale 4) in the final or third year of studies (completed in 1993). It was a 3-year BSC degree program in Medical Sc.

When we apply to any B-School, it asks for 4-year undergraduate degree's official certificate. Since my country does not follow 4-year undergraduate degree program in some streams, what should I do here? Should I submit my BSC degree's or Master degree's score? Besides, my Master degree's % or GPA is pretty higher than my undergraduate degree's. I am confused.

Please advice.

Thanks.

Thanks Praetorian!

I got it. Different schools have different policies in this regard.

Since I have a better GPA in my Master degree, can I apply with that degree only and not with my undergraduate degree or I have to submit both?

I would imagine that you have to submit both. I know of no schools that provided an option. The best thing to do is to reach out the specific schools in which you are interested and ask them directly.

Ask the schools directly. At some point - you have to provide originals, but some schools let you do that after an offer of admissions is made. Some ask for originals from the start.
