1. GPA不是绝对,还有gmat成绩和其他 2. Research 不多,但是TEACHING and other related work are easy to find 3. MBA is not that hard but depends on what level you would like to pursue
建议先确定自己的专业,然后master or phd, budget 如果你真的想做research, 需要套磁,也是有这样的funding的
In theory, H1(80+) in Melbourne Uni is equivalent to A in the US, while High Distinction (80+) in Monash is equivalent to A+ in the US. But I do not think US people will know.
as long as you get first class honors, which will be stated on your degree/transcript, you will be fine GPA-wise. i'd be more worried about coursework and research experience
