Hank Gorman Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Well, since you're looking for Master degree level. What is your undergraduate GPA and major? How do you rank these institutions?

My undergraduate school graded us on percentage. However, equivalent GPA is 3.5. I did my ug in electronics and telecommunications. Thereafter I worked for 5 years in the software industry
