MA SCM: How should the academy reject an answer or upload in the application process?
One of the questions specifically in the SCM master application process is if the GPA is included in the diploma/grade list (YES/NO) and if NO > a second question pops up asking the applicant to uploaded some other document on which the GPA is mentioned. These questions, regarding the GPA, is not part of the admission process checked by the Admissions officers as it does not influence the level of education, but is part of the selection process done by the academy. Therefore the academy is to reject the question / uploaded document in the event this is not answered correctly or if the uploaded document does not include the requested information about the GPA.
This question about the GPA consists of 2 questions:
- "for the academy intake, the GPA of your Bachelor obtained / to be obtained is taken into consideration. Is a GPA mentioned on your Bachelor degree / current transcript of records?
- If NO > "Please upload a separate document, issued by your university, on which you GPA is mentioned".
