There are a couple of changes in the
decision tracker I would like to suggest
Under primary industry, why don't we club "Healthcare" and "Pharma + Biotech" as one industry? In my experience, most schools club them together.
Is there a specific reason why we have kept them separate?
For GPA: It might be better if it is a free form entry. Rather than a required entry from a 4.0 scale. Because many applicants from other countries do not follow a 4.0 scale, e.g., A 8/10 CGPA translates to ~3.0 GPA on a 4 point scale. But my understanding is that that is not how Adcom sees it?
If someone with a GPA on 4 point scale in the US wants to have a competitive GPA for M7s, they probably should be around at least 3.3 - 3.4. But I have heard that a CGPA greater than 8 from IIT is good for M7s. So probably 8/10 translates to a 3.2 or 3.3 and not a 3 in such cases.
Others will have totals like 75% or something. So how do they convert that to a 4 point scale objectively and accurately?
Plus, somewhere in Europe (Germany, I think?), 1 is the highest GPA, and 4 is on the lower end of the same scale.
Finally, the work experience entry. Should everyone be entering their current WE or total WE if admitted on matriculation? I think we should make that 100% clear.
