Low GPA and High GRE Score

Question from Arya

Dear sir, I’m a third year computer engineering student studying under pune university. I appeared for mock GRE and scored nearly 1400 so I’m confident of earning a stellar score in GRE which I’m planning to appear for during mid October this year. But the problem is that i have a horrible undergrad academic record standing with a pathetic 51 percent.

I have gone through hundreds of blogs and websites which provide guidance for graduate school admissions, nearly all aspirants have much better GPAs and I’m beginning to get the low GPA blues. Can you please advice me on my situation. Should I drop this GRE thing and strive for something much more attainable. I can manage some strong recommendation letters and a neat sop, but the minimum requirements of most of the universities are higher than what I have to offer. Are there some ways to mitigate the ill effects of awful undergrad transcripts? please help me out of this..

Answer:

No worries, Pune and Mumbai University’s GPA are less. Universities in U.S. are aware of that fact. Universities from South India, like Anna University, Bharathiyar University offers higher scores like 80 to 90%, but all of my friends who graduated from Pune or Norther India Universities have low GPA, so thats not a major factor. And Again, GPA is not the only factor to get admission. So, get rid of the blues and think about greens($$).
