Back in the day I was searching for prospective universities to apply for in Canada. While the general requirement for application was minimum 2.5 GPA on scale of 4. Though I expect to get around 2.9 , sort of . But these days I was searching about universities of Germany / Norway and Finland and now what I come to know is that in these countries grading system of ETCS is used with 1 being best while 5 being the worst grade. The requirement for application to be considered is grade C which is equivalent to 2.0 in ETCS while it is 3 GPA on scale of 4. So in other words can a person with GPA lower than 3 expects to get into any German, Finnish or Norwegian university. Has anybody got accepted. Why Canada can accept student with low gpa but not European universities.
