@BrownParent‌ He is. The OP’s GPA is terrible, no doubt about it. If his CGPA were to be translated into a 4.0 scale, he’d be averaging around 2.4-2.8. Plus, he’s an international, which means he’ll be up against people who have better GPAs. It’s not that he has no hope, some colleges like Iowa State accept Indian students studying in CBSE with a CGPA of 6.0+, but he shouldn’t expect much with that CGPA.
Plus, the A-level (I’m studying this) and IB applicants from India are lesser in number compared to the CBSE/ISC students, but a lot of them will have better grades. The competition is immense.
