Is a delay in getting BSc important for admission to MSc?

[QUOTE="Choppy, post: 5510814, member: 127425"] I can't answer specific to European universities. In North America, it's not a big deal. Most schools look at your cumulative or field-specific grade point average. Few, if any, asses applicants via grade point velocity. The only caveate to this is that the reason for the delay can play a larger role. If you take extra time because you have to hold down a job as an undergrad, have family responsibilities, are involved in a competitive sport, or are otherwise doing something productive, it's all good. On the other hand, you're expected to accomplish a lot in graduate school. If the only way you can do well is by avoiding a standard course load that's a potential flag. Even that is not a game-limiting factor though - just something you should personally take time to assess so you can decide if you can be successful in an environment with increased demands. [/QUOTE]
