SOME TIPS FOR APPLICANTS
WITH LOW GPA
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.
 Besides, potential employers thanks to GPA can interpret
your results and get to know how good you were at
school.
 If you are trying to get accepted to the school but have
got not so good grades, don’t upset. You can’t 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.
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
don’t get upset if you will
be rejected. Find graduate
schools which are flexible
with low GPA and forget
about giving up!
 Even applicants with a high GPA
quite often don’t 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.
 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.
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.
Retake courses in which you’ve 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.
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
– you’ll be such a person for sure.
Create an impressive application portfolio
 List all your experiences related to the chosen course. Include
volunteering, internships, attending a community college if it’s
relevant. You have to present yourself as a proactive and hard-
working person.
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 you’ve
got in classes relevant to the
course you’re applying.
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.
Letter of recommendation
 A strong recommendation letter can also
boost your chances to get accepted despite
a low GPA. Find professors you’ve
cooperated at school and ask whether they
can help you and your education future. Tell
them what you’ve accomplished since you
took their classes and why you deserve a
place in college.
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.
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 you’re matured
enough and have done a lot for your future career and personal growth as
well.
Being waitlisted
 Is it very good if you’re
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.
Keep applying
 If you don’t get accepted the first time, don’t give up. Graduate
programs are quite competitive so there is no wonder why many
students are applying not once.
 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.

Google book.
