Hello! I have a bachelor's degree in physics, and I want to continue my study. However, my gpa is only 3.14 with my major gpa 3.44. I have a C in Mathematical Method in Physics III and a C+ in Atomic Physics. I was a chemistry major before I switched to physics during my second year. What is the prospect of me being admitted to a Master's degree program? I have attached my academic transcript for your reference.

If you were here in the USA my opinion is that your prospects would be good.

But I also think you're getting ahead of yourself. Do a deep dive into what your goals and prospects would be once you have the degree. Kinda like going swimming before you know what the water is like.

But he says he has his BS now...

EDIT/ADD -- Oh, you probably mean once he earns the MS degree.

@CreamyLasagna . Well, you got your BS degree in Thailand. Where are you planning to apply for your Master's? Also in Thailand? If so, you'd get get better guidance from someone local (perhaps professors at your previous university?). Also, your transcript shows that you got your degree 10+ yrs ago. What have you done in the interim? Has your coursework gone stale? Do you need refreshers before starting grad school?
