      Universities are becoming more and more open-minded. They are accepting applicants with low GPA scores, given that they have a good overall profile. A few steps you can take- Explain yourself Most people will tell you to avoid mentioning your scores at all. Do not listen to them. The admissions committee at any university will notice your academic scores. It’s better to explain yourself in your SOP or write a separate Explanation Letter talking about why your GPA is low. Highlight a few subjects Even though your overall score may be less, chances are that you have high scores in particular areas or subjects. Highlight that. Score high in GRE or GMAT Read more tips here.

      Each grade is assigned a point That means A=4, B=3, a C=2, a D=1, and an F=0 Suppose you’re pursuing a program and have a course with 4 units (Credits=4). Suppose you score a grade ‘B’ (remember, B=3). Therefore, total grade points = 4×3=12 Then add up all your grade points together and divide by the total number of credits This will help you convert your grades into GPA

      Here are a few resume writing tips you should keep in mind- The first and the most important advice I’m going to give you is this – do not exceed a single page. Every bullet point you mention shouldn’t be more and one to one and a half lines. Follow a single chronological order. Use active voice instead of passive voice.

      I suggest you mention co-curricular activities instead of extra-curricular stuff Your SOP needs to tell the university why they should accept you So talking about co-curricular activities will be more helpful

      You could either send an email requesting the admissions office to waive off your application fee by saying you don't have enough money Or you could apply to partner universities of iSchoolConnect and get a waiver or a discount on the application fee

      First, you'll have to scan each sheet. If your printer allows you to combine these scans into a single folder, do that. If not, you can combine all of these scans into a single file using an online tool. There are many options available for this - Merge PDF, iLovePDF, and more. Make sure the end file is a PDF document. Then upload it to your application!
