这样的分数要解释吗?

josiesun

毕业6年半, 大学成绩78/100.  要写OPTIONAL ESSAY解释吗? 用什么借口呢?

谢谢.

个人认为这个分数比较正常，没有必要额外解释。

按你们学校的GPA 换算标准 算一下GPA 是多少

专业课的GPA怎样？ 前两年和后两年的GPA？you know what I mean

工作都六年多了，还解释什么啊？我觉得不用。

查一下该校的平均GPA，如果还算接近，就别解释了。

感觉没有这个必要解释...

Thanks a lot for all your quick responses.  I will not make further explaination.  Actually I don't have any good excuse to explain.

Ordinary excuses:
1. Physical problem
2. Strict or crazy professors in your schools
3. Provide your rankings in the class
4. The research time ate up much of your time on study
5. Poor economic condition, you have to work during the study
6. Anything can manifest your academic ability, such as awards or some special things
7. Don't forget to tell admissions, what does A,B,C,D grade mean in your school if you have such scores of your courses. I mean, B means 85%, not 80%.
8. NEVER TELL admissions THAT YOU WERE FALLING IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHEN STUDYING IN THE SCHOOL AND THIS GREATLY INFLUENCED YOUR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. (Delete this point)

The last 60 hours might put huge weigh on your academic performance (I believe most schools are thinking in this way). Please go to compare the last 60hs with the previous 60hs (“usually” undergraduate credits are believed to have around 125 hours in the States), and if you found there is a difference between them, then you could make a pretty good excuse. BraveMBA bro gave us some awesome reasons (ethically such action is not the good one). I think the GPA of 78/100 is lower than the 3.0, which is again relatively lower than the most school’s average. You know what I am talking about, do you?

希望你申请的不是YORK,我见过YORK的admission officer, 他们的逻辑是:正是因为你离开学校太久，你更需要证明你的academic ability. 奇怪的逻辑！
