cjs1822 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 On 19/02/2017 at 9:39 PM, Asaad Khan said: Hi cjs1822. Welcome here. How could an overall score of 71% translate into a GPA of just 2.89/2.9? If you've converted it yourself then are you sure you've converted it the correct way?. Get it converted from the official authority if you haven't done that already. Hey Asaad. We receive a score as well as a grade. So when you average the scores, it's 71%, but if I would use the grades and a gpa calculator, I get a 2.8. The universities in Australia really don't talk about GPA and if they do, it's on a 7 point scale. Most people I've seen getting accepted have GPAs around 3.3 or higher, so I'm most concerned about this part of my application :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The selection is multifactorial and I'm sure a strong SoP and LoRs will help you. I can understand though that at this stage self-doubt is inevitable.... so hang in there! All the best!! Hopefully! I heard on the webinar they said that strong LoRs and a strong SoP won't really make up for weak grades. The question is what they consider weak though. I also wrote in my SoP that I would be happy to be considered for the masters of sociology and anthropology of development, so fingers crossed! Good luck to you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to you too In one of these boards, there were a couple of candidates with average grades who got into the program. So let's hope for the best!

Akansha Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Um, okay guys, my application got postponed to be evaluated in this round (I applied for the early bird application) - would you know if that is a bad sign or very normal? It really has freaked me out, and now with the results approaching, I have been doubting my application again and again. Does anyone know people who have already been admitted to the disciplinary courses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sula Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have already been accepted in the International Law Masters in early admission; however, my scholarship application was postponed to be decided in March =/ Rubezahl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per their website, decisions for interdisciplinary programs will be given in mid- March. So only early applicants for disciplinary programs might have received the mail.
