Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum so I hope this is the right subsection.
I have a question about selection to the Msc in international management CEMS at the Rotterdam School of Management and I hope some of you can enlighten me.
In their first selection process they will create a list based on GPA Languages and Gmat, do they all weight the same amount ? How are the languages evaluated ? How is my Italian GPA converted to the Dutch/International one?
Regarding the GPA conversion I checked their website and I could only find conversions from our bachelor grade (voto di laurea) that is different from our GPA.
Thanks in advance

Hey muniyant,
Well regarding the weight-age of the profile elements, they vary as per the school. Certain schools like German and UK ones have a stronger emphasis on the GPA, while a lot of EU Schools, like those in France and Spain, are relatively more relaxed about the GPA if the overall profile is good.
This being said, if I needed to standardize the weight-age to each of the profile elements on an average, here is how I would put it:
GPA - 10%
GMAT - 25%
Extra-Curriculars ( in which languages are included) - 22.5%
Apart from these, if you have some work ex. (either in the form of internships or jobs), that is taken into account as well, which roughly accounts for 10% weight-age. Finally, your application is super important which is estimated to have about 30% of weight-age.
In case you want to get your profile evaluated across these selection elements, you can take up a free evaluation https://mim-essay.com/profile-evaluation?gcf
Regarding the GPA conversion, here is how RSM recommends the applicants to go about the process:
The easiest way to calculate your GPA yourself is to use Excel. You can use the example below to make the calculation. In column A you should enter the grades you have earned so far. In column B you need to enter the credits earned for each course. When you have entered all of the grades and credits, you need to put the following formulas into the spreadsheet:
In cell B5 =SUM(B1:B4); In column C =SUM(A1*B1), =SUM(A2*B2) etc; In cell C5 =SUM(C1:C4)/B5 This last answer is your GPA.
(Please note that Grades earned on an exchange will not be included in the GPA calculation.)
In case you are still facing any issue with the GPA calculation, you can get in touch with the school directly and they will calculate it for you.
Hope this helped!

Hi
Interesting split up. Do you happen to know the weightage of each part of the profile for an MBA in Europe?
