Question about Temple ACMS grade criteria

On their website, I read that they look for a B average, but then a 3.3 GPA. At my school, a B average translates to a 3.0 GPA. Which one is it?! Which will Temple look for more?

Generally all transcripts should provide the entire scale of the GPA (which would include info that B=3.0 at your institution). Check to see if it is on your transcript. I would submit it anyway and bring attention to Temple that your school scales your grades differently. I would imagine that it shouldn't have any drastic effect on your application.

Thanks for the info.

I'm still not sure if they are looking for a B average (which would translate to a 3.0 average at my school), or a 3.3 average, as both are stated on their website for ACMS.
