Outside activities is also important. Be good to know more about how you selected your target programs. What are your long term goals? (0)

anon17422 Likes Earned: 4 GPA is actually 7.5/10 from a top-20 Engineering College in India and I graduated top 25%. Program selection based on 2 key things: Strong Finance Curriculum rooted in Quant/Analytics and Location (proximity to Financial Hubs). Longer term goal is to be a Portfolio Manager in Macro-themed HF. (1)

alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1676 Yes, 7.5 makes sense. A direct conversion can skew things a little, make sure you show the ranking, etc. Might want to add 1-2 more programs to your target list, are you targeting round 1? (0)
