[quote=Anonymous]I’m wondering if anyone has experience with their student studying abroad after having a lower GPA than the program required. My DC is a sophomore at an SLAC and wants to study abroad in Europe next fall. He’s doing much better academically (all Bs) this semester, but his cumulative GPA will only be around a 2.5. The programs he’s looking at list a 2.75 requirement, though some mention they’ll consider applicants "on a case-by-case basis." If your student was in a similar situation, did they try appealing or providing an explanation? Were they ultimately allowed to participate? And if so, what seemed to make the difference — a strong personal statement, faculty recommendations, upward trend, etc.? I’m also curious how other families navigated that process. Any insight or stories would be much appreciated![/quote]
