Eligibility Review

[towoju5]

Good day,

Please am planning to apply to study in Canada, I actually studied Mechanical Engineering in my undergraduate, but my result is not yet out due to the COVID-19 closedown, but I can probably say I will be graduating with 2.4+ out of 4 GPA (that's a 60% or more if am able to pass 2.4) but I will appreciate if anyone can give a review of where I stand.

Thanks.

So you want to do a Master's degree in Canada?

I think they tend to require at least a 3 out of 4 for GPA to do higher learning but it depends on the program, i think generally Engineering they are more lenient and can accept something like 2.8.

It depends.

As long as a university accepts you and provides admission, they you should be fine with immigration.

Yeah, that's more of the reason why I created the thread for help since about 3days now have been thinking about it, what GPA scale is Canada using, i can't really figure that out, but come to think of it you will mostly see 70%, which i tried calculating and i actually can't really figure it out.


70% of 5 = 3.5
70% of 4 = 2.8

and most of the schools will request for 3.0 or 70% but if they are using 5.0GPA maybe i could find schools using 60%, or maybe if there is any program i can do to easily get this issue resolved. thou i currently work i an Automobile workshop as I have heard that work experience might probably increase my chance of getting accepted, but i want to leave that job experience aside and focus on the main thing here.

Most universities in Canada use the 4.0 scale.

i think less than 2.8 would be difficult for engineering but you should look at individual universities' admission criteria for the program you want to study.

Okay bro, Thanks.

Will be tough with that GPA
