how strict are gpa requirements?

Applying to College

<p>I have a 2.86 at a top 10 school in the US and want to study abroad in London, or anywhere that I can take courses in English that have neuroscience offerings but a few programs that I've seen, specifically the University of Sussex one, has a 3.0 cutoff. I am not proud of my gpa at all and I kind of think its sad that I've done so bad but I was wondering if anyone knows how strict they are with these cut-offs. I would wait and call on Monday but I have to tell housing if I will be on campus in the fall. so if anyone can help I would REALLLYY appreciate it.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t count on those science credits being transferred over. A lot of times US universities don’t trust universities overseas to provide the same quality of teaching in the sciences.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it would depend on the number of applicants (aka the popularity of the program). London is a pretty popular choice for study abroad so I think they would be pretty strict with the requirements since more people are applying. But apply anyway.</p>
