Weepsie Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 When applying it was not something I gave much consideration to as It's not widely used in Ireland/UK, but how important is GPA and what is the scale. On the face of my overall results, one may not think theyre all that impressive. I averaged around 64/65% in both my BA and MA. That equates to second class honour, grade one (2.1) or a B. generally75% isan A+ and is quite hard to get. I think my GPA is about 3.4 or 3.5 but not sure whether that's considered good. If it is I may get offered some sort of funding which would make it an automatic yes to head on over to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theodidactus Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 sorry Weepsie, I would have gotten to this sooner, but I wanted to see my results before talking out of my backside. I've been accepted to every school I applied to with a 3.3 GPA, this is average for college students, but a tad below for applicants to most graduate schools (Especially Madison, my #1) I I think (I don't know, but I think) that experience matters A LOT more than GPA, I have teaching and archival experience, and I think this shows that you have a commitment to library sciences in specific.

Weepsie Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I did figure that experience and my references would be most important (both of which are good) so wasn't too concerned. I barely thought of it after all. It may not matter any way as ive got more unforeseen costs are arising in the meantime that is making it a little more difficult.
