<p>If you just graduated from undergrad this year and have an interest in going international for grad school some time, LSE for their grad programs says you must have a BA with a 3.5 on a 4 scale. If you have a lower gpa than that, do they not consider anything else? What about your GRE scores? Hypothetically if that's great and your letters of rec along with your personal statement do they still reject you?</p>
<p>I mean, you can always submit an application just to see what happens. As far as I know UK graduate schools are a lot more numbers-based than US grad schools, so you certainly won't be a competitive applicant if they say you need a 3.5 and you don't have one. If the whole rest of your application is amazing and you have a 3.48? Perhaps. But if you mean, you've got a 3.2 and your other stuff is great but not outstanding? ...who knows.</p>
<p>The only way to find out is to actually apply, but LSE is quite selective.</p>
<p>^thanks for the advice so far. I'm a believer in if there's a will ,there's a way. I know that sounds cliche, but I keep finding out its true in life. Given that it is numbers-driven what else can you do t compensate for your not-so-great gpa? Does LSE even require the GRE? I didn't see it on their website.
Basically I'm looking to see any other possible way to go to LSE someday despite your GPA.
Anyone else want to get in on this</p>
<p>Perhaps retake a class you bombed at a community college if you have already graduated?</p>
