Over the course of the following year, interest in academic Xi grew, and a breakthrough was made in academics. If everyone is this type of person, it can be seen that the average GPA score does not represent their ability, and the academic Xi score does not represent any problems. Therefore, everyone should calculate their average score based on their average score over the past four semesters and explain it to the teacher.

3. U.S. Graduate Application: Increase Xi and practical experience.

If you have a good Xi experience or a Xi experience, and your GPA is low, you must highlight your Xi learning ability. When applying, you can bring out your research results, which is also your advantage. If you participate in a research project or publish an article, you have to prove to the university that you are a person with research potential. In addition, American education is very focused on work experience, even if you have no work experience, you can bring your own Xi experience out, which is also an important factor to impress American universities.
