深夜发帖，求NN帮忙评估GPA

windbrave

简单介绍一下个人的情况。

目前G/T还没有考，由于外语一般，估计成绩也就是达到普通的水平。

工作六年，前两年在一家报社，没有精彩之处。后4年在国家某部委下属的事业单位，从事的工作是市场经理。我去时参加的是创业团队，从5人发展到现在20多人，自己在市场方面一直独挑大梁，负责品牌建设和市场宣传推广。整体团队的努力，使得业务从0做到全国均有渠道，年收入2000多万。自己评估经历也是中等。

读MBA的意向是转行，我想从事金融行业，并且很喜欢，我大学专业是市场营销，大学士和毕业后自己评爱好学了些金融的东西，对期货和外汇的trading很感兴趣，取得了我国的证券从业资格和期货从业资格。自我评估目标还是很明确的。

但关键的是我各方面都比较平稳中庸，GPA不佳就显得很拖后腿了。我计算了几种GPA，详情如下：

1. 百分制加权平均：76.63，在班级排名大概中等

2. 标准算法GPA ：GPA=∑(学分×成绩)÷∑学分 * 4/（满分）
结果：3.07，勉强过关，但问题是貌似按这样计算的学校不多。

3. 常见算法GPA ：GPA=∑(学分×绩点)÷∑学分
结果：2.26，惨不忍睹，好像没任何希望。貌似按这样计算的学校比较多吧？

4. 北大4.0算法
结果：2.67。很差，但好像还有希望。但关键在于老美好像也不认可这种算法。

虽然我也看到论坛上有说2.4也被牛校录取的，但毕竟是极少数，不是常态，运气不会落在每个人身上。由于按照常见GPA算法，我的GPA太低了，所以由于了两三年都没有决定去考G/T，没有走申请MBA的道路。但是，我因此不能实现梦想也确是心有不甘。请各位有经验的牛人帮助分析一下，我这GPA是否有希望？

GPA不要去管了，已经既成事实。只要避开那些写明有最低GPA的学校，其他的，先尽人事吧。

Grade Point Average (GPA)
Many applicants worry that we may not know that lower grades in one concentration (or university; or, for international students, educational system) may be equivalent to the strongest at another. We do.

However, it is not a grade point average (or rank in class, or actual grade) that is of greatest importance to us.

By focusing on your achievements within context, we evaluate how you have excelled within your individual academic environment and how you have taken advantage of the opportunities available to you in your school and community.
If you attended a school that reports grades on a scale other than a 4.0 numeric system, report that GPA or other classification and the grading scale used.
