我所在的大学双非一本 GPA政策异常Tough...全学校平均GPA2.5不到 然后本人基本上大学没怎么学习。一晃眼已经大四了，有极其坚定的信念想要去美国留学..不知道现在该何去何从 能不能去不太差的学校？ 我都快疯了。。。
本人前三年GPA 1.78 Major是DBM工商管理背景
经过认真复习后GMAT730 托福105
我真的不想去读太差的学校 GPA不可能改变 我甚至想要拼一拼读前100的商学院 即使要我再考GMAT和托福也无条件愿意
希望各位大神指点迷津！万分感谢！！我这样的背景申请能拼到什么样的学校?

ps:本科是经济学
我的Master目标专业是MSF MSBF MSBA MSM 和管理类的商科专业都行 不读MBA 不读会计

UIC的？你们平均gpa还是有2.5+的吧。。
美国前100里面有几所不太卡gpa，问问你的中介，或者自己做做科研。。
从40找到100.。

总体来说 平均gpa在2.5左右吧 各个专业略有差别
我非常想知道有哪几所学校是不太卡GPA的（T.T问题我这种情况不止是“不太卡”，而是要“很不卡”才行。。）
希望能留下一点点相关这些学校的资讯 灰常感谢！！

1点多实在太低了。 放在美国都不给毕业。。 我觉得就算optional essay写了。 学校也不会信的。

Hello, my friend! For school applications, it’s reeeeeeally important to know your strengths and weaknesses. You need to highlight your advantages and find ways to make up for your weaknesses, to really show yourself as an all-around STRONG candidate.  

Your biggest disadvantage is... obviously your GPA. If your school has a very tight GPA score system, you can request for ranking documents, explain it in your essays, or even try to take classes in your senior year to raise your final GPA. But what’s more important is you need to know what your advantages are. You need to give the school a REASON why they should enroll you in their programs. High TOEFL and GMAT scores are of course good for your applications, but you can use this as your core competency, because there are toooooons of other applicants with similar scores and a way higher GPA.

Now, to find your core competency. It could be a good option if you choose to work first and gain some more work experience and on-the-job achievements. This is the thinking you need to do before application. Hope this all helps, my friend, and feel free to contact me again if you've got more questions floating around.

I'm verrrrry appreciate your earnest reply. Certainly, your words are much helpful for me. I firmly believe that there are numerous students who have the higher TOFEL and GMAT scores but also a way higher GPA. Probably I do think I can accomplish any task not worse than those people because I have the remarkable insight, logical thinking and even problem-solving ability on my standpoint.  And actually, I must highlight all my advantage about my core competency to make up my weaknesses in account. But the issue is, almost all the applicants won't have such low disastrous GPA, and in the other hand, the students with such GPA won't apply for U.S. master college not even apply for a master studying.
So, probably I am processing a historic thing, I dunno. I want to know whether there's probability to make this application success. And was someone apply for U.S. graduation college with semblable GPA and finnaly get an admission? As you know, you can only adopt the 3-year GPA to apply since you even haven't finished the undergraduate degree. About whether work first or not after graduae, my decision is apply for master studying first after deeply consideration.

Hi my friend, If you’ve made your decision to further your studies in the States directly rather than working, the question comes down to the school selection.



As you know, the applications for US Masters programs are extremely competitive. Many of the school will have a minimum GPA requirement. If your GPA is not good enough, they won’t even give you the chance to highlight your strengths in other documents. Cutthroat, my friend, very cutthroat. But there are some schools that will evaluate your application as a whole and may want to know more about you through your essays and other documents. So, researching schools is REALLY important for you.



For MSF, I’d suggest you start to research the websites of the third-tier schools, like American University or Pace
University, and check their minimum requirements. After you nail down a few schools that are flexible on your GPA, it’s time to really focus on your essays. Hope this all helped, and best of luck!

UIC拿分虽难 不过你1点几绝对自身原因所致 2，3这样总该有的吧 不知楼主现况如何

smilehxy

而且楼主啊。。。真不是一个校友说你，1.7+的GPA貌似拿不到浸会学位证的，这样是很难申请学校的

elysion1991

lz啊不是我打击你，我也是uic毕业的，我们学校的gpa政策虽然tough，但是也远没有你说的那么BT吧？至少我身边的人3.0+还是很多的，你要说拿个3.5以上，那确实非常难，但是只要你按时去上课，认真完成平时的各种essay和assignment，我觉得拿个3.0以上不是什么很难的事情。所以gpa低不要把责任都推给学校，肯定你自身的问题是主要的。
另外，你想去美国，还想申请前100的商科，这个难度实在太大了，GT再高也掩盖不了你的gpa硬伤，你又不是不知道美国竞争多么激烈。。。要是你在校外有很牛的实习经历或者相关的大型program的经验，那么解释一下你是为了实践而无暇顾及学业，这个可能还能加分，但是看来也没有，所以劝你还是留条后路，这么想读研的话，试试美国以外的其他地方吧。
