[申请总结] 过低的GPA补救措施

1. Securing a highGMAT score.
如果GPA 过低比较直接的一个方法就是你有一个超出平常的GMAT 分数，尤其是比较高的quant 分数能有比较大的效果。

2. Securing a one-year degree with high grades to provide a different GPA for the committeeto reference. If you had a 1.5 GPA from college, but you enroll in aone-year master’s degree program and earn a 3.8 GPA, most admissions committeeswill give greatest weight to the most recent degree, so this strategy can helpyou override the GPA from your earlier degree.  
如果过低的GPA, 还有办法就是用最近的一个master 的GPA 来补救，因为招生官会更看重近期的GPA。

3. Time. The more time you put between your lower-than-ideal GPAand applying, the less relevant your GPA will be. If you apply only twoyears after college and you had a lower-than-ideal GPA, your GPA will likelyfactor much more strongly in your admissions outcome than if you put four yearsor more in between that GPA and applying.

4. When assessing the strength of your GPA, similar broad guidelines apply. Certainly,statistics about each business school’s average GPA for matriculating studentscan help you gain a sense of your chances for admission. But beyond this,specifics matter a great deal. As with your GMAT score, your profile can affect whether the admissions committee will view your GPA as sufficient or not. Underrepresented profiles including women can often have GPAs lower than the average GPA for matriculating students to a particular school. Many men and overrepresented profiles often must have a GPA at or above the average GPA formatriculating students to a particular school.
