Masters application with a low GPA

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Admission to Biomedical Physics master's programs in North America is highly competitive, with most universities requiring a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 for consideration. Applicants typically have GPAs of 3.5 or higher. While achieving a high GRE and TOEFL score can strengthen an application, a GPA of 2.90 significantly limits options for full funding and acceptance into these programs.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of graduate school admission requirements
  • Familiarity with GRE and TOEFL testing formats
  • Knowledge of Biomedical Physics as a field of study
  • Awareness of funding opportunities for graduate programs
NEXT STEPS
  • Research universities with flexible GPA requirements for Biomedical Physics
  • Explore GRE preparation resources and strategies
  • Investigate TOEFL preparation courses and materials
  • Look into alternative funding options for graduate studies
USEFUL FOR

Prospective graduate students in Physics, particularly those with lower GPAs seeking to enter Biomedical Physics programs, as well as academic advisors and educational consultants guiding students through the application process.

Hello!
I just completed my honors from Bangladesh with a 2.90 gpa in Physics. I want to get a masters and if possible a PhD as well in Biomedical physics. Would it be possible for me to get accepted in any university in US with full funding if I manage to get a high GRE and TOEFL score?

It is extremely unlikely.
 
Medical Physics graduate programs in North America tend to be quite competitive. In most cases there is a minimum cumulative GPA requirement of 3.0 before your application will even be considered. Beyond that most students that are actually accepted into the programs tend to have GPAs in the 3.5 and above ballpark.
