I am preparing VS applications and my undergraduate degree is from a US University. This is proving to present some issues when I go to write my 'module grades'. On my transcript, I have 36 different classes listed, each with its own letter grade. Each of these classes was weighted more or less equally to calculate my overall GPA, for which there are a few different tables floating around for converting it the UK degree classification system.
I reached out to one firm and they said "it would be best to just include your final grades for each of the 3 years" — but that's just not how it works in the US. I did not receive a 'final grade' each year. It's also unclear to me if whether I should list an 'A' grade class as a 70 or a 100, or somewhere in-between.
I thought perhaps I could just list 5-10 of my classes from including a few from my 'concentration', and a few from each year, but I'm not sure if this is the right approach.
Do you think I should reach out to every individual firm I apply to?
Would be grateful if anyone has any intel/experience/common sense
Thanks!
EDIT: Follow up thought. I have an official university approved transcript that lists all my classes and grades. What do you think if I put it on Dropbox and share a link in the 'further information' section that usually accompanies the module sections? It doesn't include my overall GPA because my former university doesn't do that, but I could share an excel sheet that shows how I calculated my degree grade and the conversion system?
