* If your GMAT score doesn't appear in the table - find the closest score and adjust the points (add/subtract 0.5 or 1 point). |
* If you have two BA degrees (or double degree) and only one with distinction, go with the level which is exactly in-between. If there is no level exactly in-between, go with the higher level. For example, if one degree GPA is 73 and the other degree is 82, treat it like a 75-79. If one degree is 81 and the other degree is Magna Cum Laude, treat it like a Cum Laude. |
* If at the time of applying you still did not receive all grades of your BA/BS degree: - If you expect to have all grades of the degree by the MBA start date: for most schools, decrease 1 point. However, it's best that you contact each of the schools you are going to apply to, explain the exact situation and see their exact response. - If you do not expect to complete the degree by the MBA start date: contact each of the schools you are applying to, explain the exact situation and see if you are eligible to apply. |
* The change in GMAT prefix from 690 to 700 (from 6 to 7) has a significant impact. * If you are an Indian engineer - reduce 1 point (since GMAT scores of Indian engineers are relatively high). |
