Hi gastoneMIT,

You're ultimately asking an Admissions question, so you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about this issue. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

but if they see it it could not be perceived as an intentional lie?

many thanks


It could be... could be perceived as lack of quant skills too ;-)
It is a highly subjective situation but it will only matter if you are being compared to applicants from your background and your county...
I think if you are feeling uneasy, you could try to use it to your advantage and send a quick note informing the adcom that there was a calculation mistake that was made and also perhaps mention that GPA is not used in your country and perhaps say that you were top 10 or top 20% of your class or something like that!
