Greetings,
I am from Nepal and a GPA of 3.66 is an average nationwide but in the top 10% in my school. From what I have seen all my friends have a decreasing trend due to the fact that our grade 12 exam included 40% of marks from grade 11 which made getting top grades in some subjects a little impossible for me.
Most of the students from the class of 21’ and on will have a GPA of 3.8+ as for my class of 20’ the average GPA is around 3.75 from the people I have known who are I think all top of their class in top high schools in our country.
Recently due to covid schools had conducted the exam on their own so the rise in GPAs 4 and 3.92 was very much, If I had to guess every school has its own 4 and 3.92 students. Rampant cheating and the unfair exam were very visible. For comparison before the pandemic, no one used to have a GPA of 4, and only a few students used to have a GPA of 3.92/3.93 all over Nepal.
So to conclude my GPA is average for an International application this year, maybe below average too.

I don’t have any good safties in my country for the subject I want to pursue but I have a few of them in India and I am watching the possibility of other countries too.

I certainly don’t have hope of getting into any T100 with aid so I was wondering if there are any public unis with tuition less than 20k which provides scholarship to reduce my tuition to about 8k/yr.

Thank you,
.
