I'm applying to the graduate school of MFE or MSFM. I have 3.79 overall GPA and 4.03 math major GPA.
My college does have a max GPA at 4.33 with A+, and one have to get above 97% or above 100% after curving in order to get an A+. Thus people barely get get such a grade. However, will the admission committee understand this fact? Will they think that A+ is equivalent to a normal A or so?
I'm thinking to just state that the full GPA scale is 4.0 without actual conversion or to convert all the scores according to the 4.0 scale and report the converted GPA. I have 3 A+ and 2 in the major so my GPA after conversion would be 3.73 (overall) and 3.97 (major). Is there any suggestion? Thanks!
