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.
Can somebody get into Norway/Germany/Finland universities with 2.8-3 GPA?
