What should I do if the university GPA is particularly low?
Hello, according to your question, it is normal for many students to have low GPA. Because I don't work very hard at ordinary times, my grades are not as high as those of other students. So their GPA is very low. We all know that it is better to have a GPA above 3.5. If you need to improve this GPA, you need to improve your grades first. How to improve your grades? We need to spend more time on reading, study textbooks carefully and summarize what the teacher said. Then take the exam carefully and review well, so that your grades will improve and your GPA will go up.

Solution 1: Try to choose the most favorable recommender to complete the recommendation letter.

One of the ways to make up for your low grade point is to find an authoritative recommender to help you make a letter of recommendation. On the one hand, it has 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 scores or other reasons. Foreign schools have always attached great importance to letters of recommendation. The authority of referees and the weight of letters of recommendation account for a considerable proportion when they decide whether to accept or not. As long as your GPA score is not particularly low, such as below 2.6 or even lower, a letter of recommendation from a weighty recommender is equivalent to improving your GPA by 0.5- 1.

Solution 2: enlarge the advantages of academic research or internship experience, and improve and decorate your PS as much as possible.

Focus on enlarging academic research and internship experience. For some academic research that you usually participate in, you can take the highlight amplification as the favorable condition for applying, such as participating in project research or publishing papers in a certain field, so that the IEC can see that you have academic potential and are suitable for research. Work experience is also the most important thing for overseas universities. Without work experience, you can highlight your internship experience, which shows that you are actively involved in practice. Practical experience is also one of the important highlights that can impress institutions. In addition, a good PS is often even more important than your grades. PS highlights your strengths and personality and will make up for your lack of grades to some extent.

Solution 3: Take the GRE/GMAT exam organized by ETS.

Although the task of preparing for the special exam is very arduous, compared with the writing of application materials and the choice of schools, majors and tutors, the exam is the easiest step to go abroad. At present, not everyone will take the GRE/GMAT special exam, but if others don't take your exam and get higher grades, they will definitely have an advantage when applying.
