Many students may indulge in fun in their sophomore or junior years, resulting in failing some courses and retaking 60 points. Some schools are allowed to retake the exam, so they can have another chance. However, some schools do not have the opportunity to retake the exam, which directly leads to the low total GPA of students and greatly reduces their confidence in applying for prestigious schools. But is GPA really the only condition for the assessment of American admissions officers? Must I not apply for a prestigious school if my GPA is low? This view is actually one-sided. Today, we will talk about what kind of schools we can apply for with low GPA, and what other aspects can make up for this disadvantage of our low GPA.

First of all, we should know that applying for a university requires students' transcripts, language scores, resumes, personal statements, letters of recommendation and interviews. For students with low GPA who have no chance to retake the exam, we suggest improving their professional course scores as much as possible in the remaining stage of undergraduate course, so as to calculate their professional course GPA. In this case, you can describe in your personal statement that you attach great importance to your professional courses and let the admissions officer know that you are a student who likes to delve into your professional field and have strong academic ability in your professional field. Then some GPA lowered in public courses can be made up in this way.

Then there is another situation. Students have just started school, and their grades are very poor. They are interested in everything and ignore their academic performance. The next year, I found a little feeling. In the third year, you began to get serious and made a breakthrough in your studies. If you are such a student, your comprehensive GPA can't really reflect your strength, and your academic GPA can't explain the problem. You should consider calculating your GPA scores in the last four semesters, and then tell the admissions officer that I was still adapting and surpassing at the beginning of my study, but in the last two years, I finally learned how to manage myself and became an efficient student.

Then there is another situation. Students' school exams are too difficult, such as Tsinghua Peking University 985, the top school in China, which leads to a low GPA. You can prove your academic ability by ranking your age.

On the other hand, the GPA of students is a little low, but it is not too low. In this case, you can prove that you are a person with strong academic ability through your language scores, such as getting GRE 320 and GMAT 720. In this case, it is no problem to apply to the top 30 schools in the United States.

Another situation is to attend the summer courses of famous American schools. If economic and time conditions permit, you can choose to participate in the school's summer courses during the summer vacation. This can not only submit your international background, but also be very effective for improving your professional background. Many local American students will choose this way to make up for their low GPA.

Other types can show their academic ability and planning ability by participating in high-value scientific research and internship, and get high-quality recommendation letters from their tutors.

Finally, supplemented by excellent documents and interviews. Certificates can make up for the low GPA. Students can take the highlights of some academic research they usually participate in as favorable conditions for application, such as participating in project research in a certain field or publishing papers, so that the audit Committee can see that you have academic potential and are suitable for research. Or focus on your responsibilities and achievements in a certain job, which are important highlights that can impress American universities.

In short, we can still strive for some measures to make up for the disadvantages when the GPA is low. After all, compared with the Commonwealth countries, the American GPA is not omnipotent, and we can make every effort to make up for it. The dream of applying for a prestigious American school can still be fully realized.
