i heard there are no gpas in the UK? is that true?
the adcoms consider each application as a whole.
some people also say that high GPA and high GRE does not guarantee to get you in but just gets your application to be looked at. in my case i had a high GPA and my GREs are not really that great but i was offered interviews at every single school i applied to.
in my opinion letters of recs is by far the most important part of the application
then the personal statement comes after.
what type of program are u looking into?
