How to Get into Universities with a Low GPA

Here are some of the things that you should keep in mind: 

• You can talk about the reasons behind the low GPA in your interview or your SOP (Statement of Purpose)/personal statement. You may also write a letter separately to the admissions committee at the institution, talking about these reasons as well. 
• Your SOP may help you overcome your low GPA if it is written well and impresses the admissions committee. 
• Keep highlighting those areas/subjects where you scored higher. 
• Focus on other components including your work/professional experience, experience, internships, leadership and community initiatives, extra-curricular activities, etc. 
• You can also take up certification and other smaller courses online or even offline, for showing the admissions panel that you have the requisite skills. 
• If you have strong GMAT/GRE scores, your application will always have a higher chance of approval. 
• Build a solid resume and present it impeccably to the admissions committee along with a portfolio or research proposal if applicable. 
• Make sure your academic and official transcripts are in order along with all other documents. 
• Get two references or LORs (letters of recommendation) if needed. They may help your application. 
• Try and score as high as possible in your English language proficiency test (IELTS/TOEFL). 

These are some of the pointers that will serve you well while planning for your MS applications in the US.
