Hello,
I am applying to B-School this year and would like some clarification on how to correctly approach my situation. I have two bachelor degrees from two different university in the US (both 4 year accredited institutions). After graduating my first university, I worked for a startup that was acquired and as a result I cashed out my stock to reinvest in my future by going back to school for a degree in applied mathematics; however, my credits from my first degree transferred so I was only in school for 1.5 years for my second degree. Below are some question that I need clarification on:
1) My first university had A- (3.7 which ranged from 90 to 93) and B- (2.7 which ranged from 80 to 83). At this school, I graduated with just over a 2.9 GPA, which would be above an 83 and at most other schools would be a 3.0+ (still not stellar but better than having a 2 in front of the GPA). What is the best way to highlight this to the admissions council or will they see the transcript?
2) At my second university I had a 3.5 GPA. I assume I can't just submit this GPA as I used credits from my previous college to complete the 4 year requirement, correct? I would have to add up all my credits and submit combined GPA off of two different GPA scales?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JG

Many schools will look at your graduation GPA while others will look at an overall GPA. We would suggest that you report your best GPA here in the application, and then use the optional essay to explain points (1) and (2) above, so schools are clear about the grade systems and your calculation. Every school will understand and accommodate once you do this. They will still see the transcripts but your explanation will really help.
