Motivation Note: “I was also selected for a fully funded US Exchange program back in 2017. It was a SUSI leadership program. I was a student with a GPA of 2.02/4. But still, they selected me based on my leadership skills, thinking, and Ideas. So, the point is that GPA doesn’t matter. You can read my story.
