SOME TIPS FOR APPLICANTS WITH LOW GPA
2
What is a GPA?

• The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an international
  calculation of all grades which a student
  achieved during the studying. It is essential for
  the admissions tutors who can compare results of
  your academic performance with other applicants
  grades.

3

• Besides, potential employers thanks to GPA can
  interpret your results and get to know how good
  you were at school.

4

• If you are trying to get accepted to the school
  but have got not so good grades, dont upset. You
  cant let a low GPA stop you from applying to the
  desired course. Here are some helpful tips on how
  to get into college with low GPA.

5
Apply to lots of schools

• Do research and find out colleges and
  universities with low GPA requirements. Of
  course, you can apply to top-notch institutions
  but dont get upset if you will be rejected. Find
  graduate schools which are flexible with low GPA
  and forget about giving up!

6

• Even applicants with a high GPA quite often dont
  get a chance to get into the desired school. So,
  look for masters programs that accept low GPA and
  still have a good academic reputation and are
  interesting for you. Keep in mind that getting
  from ANY graduate schools is prestigious and
  valuable for your future career.

7

• Look for a graduate school which is not
  concentrated only on grades but on the whole
  application package. For this, talk with the
  admission advisor or check admission policy
  whether the school immediately rejects candidates
  with low GPAs or not.

8
Submit your application early

• What is a low GPA in college? Quite often it
  means that a student is lazy and sending in your
  application only will prove this prejudice. So,
  do not postpone submitting.

9
Retake courses in which youve failed

• In lots of schools, you have the second chance to
  accomplish courses in which you had troubles with
  grades. If you do your best and get better
  scores, your GPA will be higher as well as
  chances to get accepted to college.

10
Study hard

• Take some extra courses in a community college or
  at a local university to boost your knowledge in
  the chosen field of study. I got into medical
  school with a low GPA youll be such a person
  for sure.

11
Create an impressive application portfolio

• List all your experiences related to the chosen
  course. Include volunteering, internships,
  attending a community college if its relevant.
  You have to present yourself as a proactive and
  hard-working person.

12
Write a kick-ass personal statement

• Compose a catchy and amazing PS. Talk about your
  achievements, strengths, abilities and other
  great things that make you special. Also, mention
  good grades youve got in classes relevant to the
  course youre applying.

13
Admissions Essay

• One of the essential parts of the application
  package is the admission essay.
  Perfectly-written, engaging and convincing essay
  can make up for a low GPA. Be honest, precise and
  do not bore your readers.

14
Letter of recommendation

• A strong recommendation letter can also boost
  your chances to get accepted despite a low GPA.
  Find professors youve cooperated at school and
  ask whether they can help you and your education
  future. Tell them what youve accomplished since
  you took their classes and why you deserve a
  place in college.

15
Good grades

• If you still have a semester to finish your
  studying at school, do your best to get straight
  As. If not, come up with convincing and strong
  explanations for your low grades.

16
Work experience

• It is not a decisive factor but it matters. If
  you have a low GPA and a great work experience,
  the admissions tutors will ensure that youre
  matured enough and have done a lot for your
  future career and personal growth as well.

17
Being waitlisted

• Is it very good if youre waitlisted in lowest
  GPA college. You are not rejected and still have
  chances for success. Send in a letter of
  continued interest to show the admission tutors
  how eager you are to be accepted.

18
Keep applying

• If you dont get accepted the first time, dont
  give up. Graduate programs are quite competitive
  so there is no wonder why many students are
  applying not once.

19

• Copy your application package, continue studying
  or working and try to apply for the next year.
  Then, your portfolio will be much stronger as
  well as your chances to get in.
