GPA specific entrance requirements of TOP 100 universities in the United States.

American universities corresponding to different GPA

1, GPA above 3.7, it is recommended to choose institutions within Top50.

If the GPA of American university applicants is greater than 3.7, American universities within Top50 can be considered when applying for studying in the United States. However, a good grade point can only be said to be one of the conditions for applying for a prestigious school. You also need good TOEFL and SAT scores and a rich background in extracurricular activities.

Yale university interviewer once said: "American universities attach great importance to what activities students take part in after class." Students with GPA above 3.7 can take the top 50 American famous schools as the sprint direction, and also pay attention to the cultivation and progress of their own soft power.

2.GPA score is 3.0-3.7. It is suggested to choose the organization of Top50-Top 100.

Students with a GPA of 3.0-3.7 should consider that the ranking of American universities is below 100 when applying for studying in the United States, and the probability of successful application for schools after 50 is relatively high.

If you want to apply for a prestigious university around Top50, I suggest you do some academic research in extracurricular activities, and highlight your personal ability through academic papers or activities to make up for the lack of GPA. If students are excellent in other aspects, they may also successfully apply to Top30 institutions.

3.GPA score is lower than 3.0. It is recommended to choose the organization of Top 100.

Students who apply for studying in the United States but whose GPA is lower than 3.0 are advised to apply for American universities ranked around 100. It is unlikely that you want to apply to an American school in TOP50, unless you have a good reason to explain what you really did in your professional field, which affected your score.

Of course, it does not mean that students who apply for American universities with low GPA scores have no chance to apply for prestigious schools. If they want to apply for a good school with a low GPA score, they should improve their software, such as application materials, because American universities admit students not only by grades.

What if GPA is not enough?

As a part of the hardware conditions, GPA is more convincing than SAT/ TOEFL when applying for American books. However, many students woke up when they applied, and at this time, the low GPA has become an established fact. In this case, what efforts can we make to avoid the shortcomings of GPA?

1. Explain the reason of low GPA reasonably.

Many students didn't give a reasonable explanation for the low GPA when they applied, which easily gave people the impression that the institution "didn't study hard". Whether it's because of one's own subjective reasons, one's own preconceptions in the university, one's weak ability to take exams but strong ability to solve problems, or one's suspension from school due to illness, we should make an objective explanation.

2, computing professional GPA

Like most students, you may be interested in your major, but you are not so keen on public courses, or you may be miserable, which has lowered the overall level a lot. In this case, you can calculate the GPA of your career achievement yourself and emphasize it in the interview or personal statement.

3. Calculate GPA by time period.

Suppose a situation, at the beginning of school, the grades are very poor, and you are interested in everything, ignoring your 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 transitioning at the beginning of my study, but in the last two years, I finally learned how to manage myself and became an efficient student.

4. Provide rank ranking

Some schools have great difficulty in exams, which leads to low GPA of students. At this time, students can provide grade rankings to prove their learning ability.

5. Make up for it by retaking the course.

If you still have enough time and are not satisfied with your current grades, you can find your worst course and choose to retake it.

6. Make up for it through SAT and TOEFL scores

In addition to GPA, students' TOEFL and SAT scores can also explain their learning ability.

7. Take the special SAT2/AP exam.

Students who apply for undergraduate courses can take the special exam of SAT2 or AP. If your GPA is not outstanding, you will be reduced. You can seriously consider taking such an exam to show your professional ability and level.

8. Attend summer courses

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.

9. Improve the quality of letters of recommendation.

Find an authoritative reference to help you make a letter of recommendation. On the one hand, you have professional authority and can emphasize the dominant position of schools and majors; On the other hand, some reasonable explanations can be made for this classmate's low GPA score. It can be proved that such a low GPA is due to the strict requirements of domestic schools for grades or other reasons. A letter of recommendation from a weighty recommender is equivalent to an increase of 0.5- 1 GPA.

10, tap the bright spots in academic research or internship experience.

Some academic research you usually take part in can take the highlight enlargement as a favorable condition for application, so that the audit Committee can see that you have academic potential and are suitable for research.

Americans also attach great importance to work experience. Without work experience, you can highlight your internship experience, which shows that you are actively participating in practice. Practical experience is also one of the important highlights that can impress American universities.

1 1. Teach magnetism in advance.

This article is aimed at American students who want to transfer to another school or go to graduate school. Two students with similar competitive strength are in front of the professor. One is a student who has been in contact with the professor for several months and has repeatedly expressed his desire to study at school. The other is students who have only read the application materials but hardly know them. In this case, the professor will definitely choose the former. If you don't live up to expectations, at least show your enthusiasm and sincerity.

12, professional promotion application documents

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, or they can focus on their responsibilities and achievements in a certain job. These are all important highlights that can impress American universities.
