Do I have a chance??
Hi, I'm going to apply for MSc in media and communication at LSE in December.
Problem is that my GPA is uncredibly terrible - 2.9/4.0 (fortunately there's uptrend: 2.4 at 1st semester ->3.5 at 8th semester)
Although GPA doesn't meet minimum requirement, will they still review the documents?
I hope personal statement, reference and CV can make up.
I graduated from top 50 univ. in the world as an international student and worked for global consulting firms.
Do you think it's a waste of time for me to apply? If so, I'm wasting my referees' time. I should drop it for them.
(Thankfully, my referees are willing to support me and explain a bit about GPA)
How about other schools? people are saying that it's alomost impossible to be accepted by top 30 in UK with that GPA. Can't I go good grad school...?
Is GPA really really a key factor to admission?
please give some opinions based on real cases. Thanks.
