Urgent Help - GPA Conversion [#permalink] New post   14 Oct 2015, 21:46
Hi All,

I'm trying to fill the Foster Application on deadline day.
They ask for "Cumulative GPA as reported on school transcript".
Now, my college transcript has a 10 pointer grading system. Should I mention this or should I convert it to 4 point scale ?


Thanks !!

I did this:

1. in the portion where you add school details, put in the actual GPA received.
2. in the portion where they ask you to convert, use their HELP section to convert your GPA into the 4 point scale. (taking your country and grades into account)

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I've found this tool to be very helpful: https://www.foreigncredits.com/Resources/GPA-Calculator/ They hava data for some 150 countries in the world, so they take your country of origin into account and estimate your American-equivalent GPA. I was very confused about how to translate my GPA, since it's quite different in my country, and this worked out great for ne!!!

Hope it's useful for you as well!

Cheers

The requirements section mentions that "Studies conducted outside of the U.S. do not need to be translated to a four point scale. " on this link https://foster.uw.edu/academics/degree-p ... uirements/
So can't we skip the CGPA option ?

I would reach out to mba@uw.edu for clarification. In the past, they have asked students to not do the conversions as they will it for them. But reach out to them for the definitive answer.
