AspirantPH

I'm actually planning to go to grad school, maybe 3-5 years from now (cause I need to prepare financially, and to get all the experience I need), and I've just started looking for possible universities to attend. I have a Bachelor's in Speech Pathology, which I didn't obtain from a university in the US. Upon looking at the minimum grad school requirements, not gonna lie, i was disheartened. This is, again, about the 3.0 GPA minimum. I tried converting my grade into US GPA, and I only got a 2.98 overall if I remember it right (though I was advised lately that the schools are usually the ones doing the conversion/interpretation of grades, since I came from a country that has a different grading system, and a different academic system, for that matter). Do you think I still stand a chance? Is there still anything I can do to get into the program/s? I mean, this is all I've ever wanted. My parents sort of indirectly offered to fund my education for med school before, and I turned it down cause, well, this is what I want. However, it seems that I've had really bad luck.

Well, so far, all the schools I've looked into have this 3.0 minimum gpa requirement. Some have stated they're making considerations if they see that the applicant is capable of finishing the degree. I thought I would try and convert my grades into US gpa just to see a 'rough' estimate of what it might be, though yeah, they're 2 different systems so I can't be entirely sure about the conversion. Also, what exactly do you mean by the cutoff being more difficult to implement? I mean, most schools state that it is one of their minimum requirements. And I do hope experience helps me. AND I hope working in a bilingual setting gives me even a little advantage.
