    final GPA vs CGPA
    I have received a conditional offer from essex that says I must receive a final GPA of 7.3, is this my last GPA or my CGPA?

    Drop them an email; they should be able to help you

    But I would think it's the CGPA they were talking about.

    Why would they care about your last GPA? Of course it is final CGPA, the one you will have on the final transcript.

    My transcript holds both my GPA and CGPA, they have my transcripts with all of my course except my final grades from this semester.

    Final transcript should show your final GPA. It is calculated by adding up all your grades and dividing them by the number of classes you took. This is what they will be looking for.

    CGPA definitely. But isn't that 3.7 they ask for?

    My university is screwed up with their grading system, 7.3 is a B+. And if it was a CGPA wouldn't they write that instead of GPA since my transcripts show both?
