<p>Hi. I have quite a few things I can't figure out and I would really appreciate it if someone who went through this could answer.
1. How do I convert my Romanian gpa into the US gpa? I tried finding calculators that would do this for me but I simply can't find anything official.
2. Does my high school graduation year matter?(I graduated in 2004).
3. What would be considered an appropriate extra-curricular record for someone coming from a country such as Romania where working as a volunteer is not a tradition. I activated in an NGO but I have no remarkable activity due to the fact that the NGO itself lacks such activity:(. I also worked in the US 2 summers in a row. I heard that this can be considered a plus, but it doesn't seem very plausible. Also, I am not sure if graduating from another university matters. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
