I am writing this to ask a question if I can have chances to get admission from grad schools considering my low GPA.
I am a future applicant with a Bachelor of English Literature degree and 10 years of professional experiences in journalism in South Korea. I won several journalism awards with international reputation. Now, I am going to apply MA or MS in comm/media/journalism programs as many as possible this year.
Unfortunately, after having read the degree program overview of some programs, i figure the programs require a minimum 3.0 GPA(on a 4.0 scale) for admission. My undergrad GPA is about 2.9 on a 4.0 scale. So, I wonder if my application will not be reviewed by Admission Committee at all because it is too low. Also, is it possible that I make up for my low GPA by submitting GRE scores or my professional experiences? Of course, I ask this questions to some admission committees of the schools, but they gave just a general answer. So, I am seeking pieces of advice here.
[Applying Grad school] Could I make up for this?
