Hello to everyone,
I have a question regarding undergrad GPA importance for being admitted to Columbia LL.M.
I am Armenian and graduated French University in Armenia (a branch of Lyon 3). My transcript are not brilliant. Exactly saying they're composed of 5 elements - a transcript for each year (undergrad is 4 years in Armenia) and one transcript for state exams. My GPA for 1st and 4th year is quite high (among top 5). Besides my state exams GPA is also high (again top 5). I was doing quite well in my second year and only in the 3rd year my GPA is low (17th in the class), which not really tragic but not a rank for a very good student. In my fourth year I selected among top 8 students to pass an internship in France.
I am now doing LL.M at American University of Armenia and my GPA for 1st year is 3.9 (1st or second in the class).
I have a rich work experience for my age and a high Toefl score. Meaning that all other components are quite good.
I've heard that undergrad GPA is the most important element and it should be absolutely top for Columbia. Could anyone advice whether with my profile I can get in or I don't even have to try. I've sent my docs to the international transcript authentication service and I think that the report is going to be bad because of my performance in third year.
How can this affect my admission?
Thank you for your responses.
