Is it okay to go abroad for postgraduate study if gpa is not 3.0?

GPA plays an irreplaceable role in the application for studying abroad. Generally, people will go to the school official website to check the admission requirements before applying, and the school will often put forward clear GPA minimum requirements.

Since GPA is so important, what should I do if GPA is low? First of all, we should distinguish some "excusable" low GPA:

1. If the grades of freshmen and sophomores are relatively poor and the overall GPA level decreases, it means that the grades of juniors and sophomores have improved, then this progress of juniors and sophomores is the part that we need to focus on in the application.

2. If the GPA of professional courses is significantly higher than other minor courses, you can highlight the GPA of professional courses in your resume.

3. The grading standards of each school will be different. If the overall performance of undergraduate institutions is relatively low, such as Beihang University, which may be at a disadvantage when competing with students from other institutions, then we can list the results outside GPA to show our learning ability.

Excluding the above conditions, what remains is that the GPA is too low and can only be improved by re-building. Some students may want to delete some subjects with lower grades in order to present a good grade point. It should be noted here that foreign schools will take the unauthorized deletion of grades very seriously. Once discovered, it will face quite serious consequences, from direct refusal to enter school to cheating and dishonesty.

If you want to know whether your current grades meet the admission requirements of any institution, or what level of foreign institutions you can apply for with your current grades, you can input your gpa average score, IELTS/TOEFL scores and professional college background into the study abroad reference system, and the system will automatically match the application cases similar to yours to see which universities they have successfully applied for, so that you can know which foreign universities you can apply for at present with your IELTS level and have a more accurate positioning of your choice of schools.
