How to Calculate Your Global MBA Admission GPA
A strong academic record, typically measured by your **Grade Point Average (GPA)**, is a cornerstone of any successful MBA application. For international students, converting local university grades to a standardized scale (like the US 4.0 scale) is crucial. This section details the process and the importance of using a weighted calculator.
Calculation Formula and Weighting
The core principle of a weighted GPA is that not all courses contribute equally to your final academic score. The formula is:
$$ \text{Weighted GPA} = \frac{\sum (\text{Local Grade Conversion} \times \text{Credit Hours} \times \text{Weight Factor})}{\sum (\text{Credit Hours} \times \text{Weight Factor})} $$
In this calculator, **Core** courses are weighted higher (e.g., factor of 1.2) than **Elective** courses (factor of 1.0) to reflect the importance of foundational business knowledge for MBA programs.
Importance of Weighted GPA for MBA Applications
MBA admissions committees look for candidates who excel in quantitative and core business subjects. By providing a weighted GPA, you demonstrate your proficiency in the most relevant courses. A simple, unweighted GPA may mask your strength in these critical areas, which is why a detailed breakdown is essential for a competitive application.
