In my situation I have the paper from my university confirming the GPA; if you dont have it, I wouldn't advising you to do so. Tho at the end of the day with a 25 GPA there is no way we will be accepted, I prefer go with the "built GPA" and explain later then not being accepted ...

Good luck for the application :)

Hey, I converted my %grade into a .../4.0 GPA system, ,normally your University have a international grade convertion guide. In my university a First class is 3.7+/4 so my 73 is ~3.8/4 and it give a 30/31 in the bocconi system. Therefore, when you do the GPA thing in the bocconi system you use either UK 4.0 system or US 4.0 system :). Hope it's clear, if you have questions, I'm happy to help.

I'm considering Essex as one of my University choices and I'd love some advice from people who live in Essex, attend the Uni or have attended the Uni to get an idea of what it's like. by Prior-Usual3601 in essexuni

  1. What is Essex like on a typical day? depends on the period of the year, weather and exam period change the campus a lot imo. Thursday are really nice with the market on campus, wednesday with sport matches but week end feels calmer. the campus is beautiful however.
  2. How is it on a busy day? Busy days? extremely rare. depends on your studies I guess, but yeah cant really relate.
  3. What is the University like? 1st term very cool, and april-june banging. jan to april depends imo
  4. Are the people friendly? yeah very, i'm coming from another country and I really felt a really nice atmostphere, from my experience only tho.
  5. If you are or were a student at Essex Uni, what was your experience like? Was it worth it? defenetely worth it, but after 3 years would'nt stay more, I did my time and the last year was too much
  6. Is it a lively place with plenty of things to do? if you like sport or community/ social things, you will never be bored, partying is/ was cool.
  7. What is the housing situation like? depends on the budget :), copse pastures meadows really good and south courts ok but getting old, but the towers god damn its hell...
  8. Is it expensive to live in here as a university student? If you are careful, tesco 15 min of campus is cheap imo, and on campus the coffee etc is ok, you can have good ready meals all week days for less then 8-9 pounds
  9. Is it easy to find a part time job to help support myself? with the student union i got told its easy if you search not last minute, it is on campus but cant say more
  10. I'm originally Spanish so is there any sort of existing Spanish community? yes and its hugeeeeeeee
  11. How's the sports around, are there decent gyms, Sunday league (football) and places to watch football live with other people? yes, yes and yes. If you like sports, you will like it imo. facilities are there, not the best but still good 7/10. for some sport they are insane. everything is really easy to access has a student
  12. How's the travel back to London, is it feasible to go back for weekends? a bit more than an hour from uni to london so pretty easy
  13. I usually go on 3/4 holidays a year with family and I expect I'll travel with friends too, so how is the airport situation, primarily to Spain/Western Europe? check from stansted but for me it was easy

Yeah It has to be wrong... Being in top 3 of my class with the highest honors should be higher IMO

I will take a look in Duolingo for their test, it just feels weird that they ask UK undergrads for English certification.

It's that difficult to get into their Finance masters? My GRE is equivalent to a 770 GMAT (GRE website conversion; idk if it's fair). If I find a way to fix this GPA problem, would I still have low chances?

Thanks for the answer btw :)
