Hi
I am from India and I am confused with some terminology - could you please explain the following points:
Post-secondary education - does this mean bachelor's degree i.e undergraduate degree ?
And Master's degree corresponds to graduation right?
What exactly does IVY league & M7 mean ? I came across these terms when I am searching some school sites?
In India, for academics they use percentage scores - how do we convert percentage scores to appropriate GPA ? Can we self report the GPA based on self-judegement ? If so, what are the factors that need to be considered before reporting?
I know these sound as very general questions - but I have no clue about them.....
Thanks a Lot,
Satish.

Many relevant questions especially for Indians who start applying for the first time.
I know a few things. ABout IVY league and M7 - I have no idea.
Bachelors Degree is called undergrad - equivalent of engg, B.Com etc.
Yes this is confusing. In India we call this as graduation.
Masters Degree is the graduation. MSc etc. is grad. Again this is confusing. In India and MS or an MSc or a BCom would be called post-grad.
About converting percentages into GPA - try this site wes.org. But if you are in Gujarat there is this institute - IAES. Website is https://www.iaesgujarat.org. One of my friends is a member there and he said that they would convert your percentages into a GPA. I enquired and was told that most US schools would do the same. So the formula is generally accepted one across the schools. I am told that most US schools accept the GPA conversion norm followed by IAES.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
"Ivy League" refers to a sports league of 8 relatively old colleges in the United States. The members:
Harvard
Yale
Princeton
Columbia
Cornell
University of Pennsylvania
Dartmouth
Brown
Of course, Brown and Princeton do not have MBA programs.
At one time these eight colleges were considered the most prestigious colleges in the United States. While these schools are still highly respected, they are no longer the undisputed leaders even at the undergraduate level (let alone the graduate level). For instance, schools such as Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Duke, MIT, and Cal Tech are more selective than many of the these Ivy League schools.
"Ivy League" is also used as a generic term for a selective, demanding school. Thus, some people refer to Stanford or Georgetown as "Ivies" even though they are not in the sports league. Some private schools such as Virginia, UCLA, Michigan, and Berkeley are sometimes called "Public Ivies."
Do you know the context where the M7 term was used?
