GPA importance

[Reinels]

Hi guys.
I want to know how much of an important part does your GPA playing in getting IDP program. I graduated from the Philippines and my GPA is 2.6. It was accredited by ECE. I know my GPA is kind of low..my school didn't give good grade overall..actually i was top 3 in my class with that grade. Is my GPA is too low to compete with other candidates?

Hello,,
I have a gpa exactly as yours. So I will tell you about my experience. I was worried as you when i started applying. I was depressed as I did not hear from any of the schools during my first cycle. This is my second cycle and I got 5 interviews and one acceptance.( I declined some of the interviews). My advice for you is stay focused and keep improving your profile. Every candidate has a different profile and the universities look for a good mix of all kinds of students

Hi dentist network, you seem to have good credentials,, maybe you should work on your sop and try to reflect your personality through it. Don't undermine any part of the application. Also since you are not based in the US try to show what drives you to do DDS here.
Don't loose hope,, stay focused and you will get through!
