What do you think is better ! School reputation or high GPA ?!

What do you think is better !
School reputation or high GPA ?!

 

[Montaha Aldoaan]

For me high GPA . Low GPA with good school reputation won't help to apply for a job or studies .

 

[Thamer Aljuaid]

I totally agree with Montaha

 

[Monira Ald]

Moderation is the best . School reputation plays a critical role as well beside the high GPA. Having high GPA won't help if the school reputation not that much good buz it's clear to everyone that school gives anyone A .

 

[Rayyan Alsamadani]

School reputation as long as your GPA above 3.0

 

[Abdullah Alharbi]

High GPA

 

[Rakan Alqahtani]

المعدل اهم وبكثيييييير. من واقع خبرة.. بغدين يجي ترتيب الجامعة، خصوصي اذا كان بكالريوس..

 

[Abdulrhman Abduljalil]

High PGA

 

[דלת אלחרבי]

High GPA

 

[Sami Hamed Alalwani]

School reputation is the most important factor. Usually those who study at these schools will have high GPA because its difficult to be accepted at high reputable schools unless you are a good student.

 

[Arwa Gh]

المعدل. طالما الجامعة معتمدة وكويسة مو شرط تكون الاولى ع العالم. المعدل وقوة اثباتك لنفسك ف الدراسة والانترفيو. ايش الفايدة جامعة تكون سمعة ومعدلك 3 او 2! بينما جامعة كويسة معتمدة ع مستوى البلد او الإقليم ومعدلك عالي ومتخرج ببروجكت يرفع الراس. مو معناتو انها ضعيفة كجامعة

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

It depends. I prefer graduating form Oxford or Cambridge with very good classification to getting first class honour from a bad or not accredited university

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

For the record, Oxford and Cambridge are not as concerned about the postgraduate applicants' GPA as characters, achievements and "Names & Titles"

 

[Maryam Esaa]

Mohammad S Al-Saffar how do they evaluate your achievement ? And what do you mean about "Names & Titles" !

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

Maryam Esaa I don't evaluate my achievements, I just mention them and the academic committee and programme director do the evaluation. With regard to names and titles, they prefer names that starts with HRH, Duke, Sir and names of famous people, but you still have a chance if your name does not to start with one of these titles or you don't have connections to some of them.

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

Achievements could be: Certificates, a published journal or research, participation in international events, a successful business or any recognisable thing related to the programme of interest that show what success factors you have that make you successfully complete their rigorous programme. Also, these universities expect you to add value to their world, so you have to show what you can can add or provide to improve your field of study or the programme itself.

 

[Maryam Esaa]

Mohammad, I just know about the names issue. I hope we could make some achievements other than names. Thank you

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

Sorry, I'd hit the "enter" key by mistake before I finished my previous comment so it posted an incomplete message.

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

Names are not a big deal you still have a chance anyway. What university are you planning to apply to?

 

[Mohammad S Al-Saffar]

Names issue is considered when it comes to Oxford, Cambridge and LSE as far as I know.
