Hi everyone,
I’m currently studying at a top 30 university globally in a rigorous mathematics program, but I’ve run into a bit of a dilemma.
My first two years were rough—a combination of very difficult courses and a lack of proper preparation. As a result, my GPA took a serious hit. Even if I score 85+ averages in my 3rd and 4th year, it’s unlikely my cumulative GPA across all four years will hit 80+.
That said, I’m making a strong academic comeback and am very focused on applying to top MFE/MQF programs in the U.S. and Canada.
My question is:
Are there any competitive programs that either weigh the final year or last two years of GPA more heavily—or even exclusively? I’ve heard some schools are more lenient if there’s a strong upward trend, but I’m looking for specific examples if possible.
Thanks in advance!
