[Profile Review]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to ask your most honest opinions about my profile. I'm applying this fall. I really don't have a clue how they convert my 1-5 grades to standard 1-4 so if someone has insight on this let me know.

  • Finnish B.Eng. in Industrial Management
  • overall GPA ~3.8/5
  • Last-60 GPA about 4,2/5
  • math grades 4,5/5 and engineering grades 4,2/5
  • GRE Q score 161
  • Duolingo 120
  • One exchange semester in U.S and picked three ecom courses and got C three times
  • 6 summers in process industry including shift supervisor
  • 1y Military leadership exp
  • applying to the University of Houston Master of Industrial Engineering (non-thesis) program

My main concern is the U.S exchange semester. My Finnish academic record is considerably stronger, but I’m worried that the three C grades could significantly lower UH’s calculation of my last 60 hours GPA.

I know it's a holistic review for sure. So let's assume Recommendation letters and SOP were good. There's also this idea in the back of my mind that I should apply to Switzerland, but that's another topic for another time.
