Having pass marks instead of distinctions does not automatically make you ineligible to study abroad. Most universities focus on whether you meet their minimum academic requirements, not just distinctions.

Higher grades can help with admission to competitive programs and scholarships, but if your marks meet the minimum criteria, you are still eligible to apply. Leap can help you find programs that match your academic profile.
