Is the percentage obtained in the master's degree required for the application process?
Yes, your master's degree percentage is typically required when applying to U.S. universities.
Admissions committees review your academic performance, often asking for your percentage or GPA from previous degrees. While many programs expect a minimum GPA (commonly 3.0/4.0, about 75% in India), some universities may consider your full profile - including research, work experience, and personal statements - especially if your GPA is lower.
Your master's percentage will be an important part of your application, but other strengths can also be considered. If you need guidance on presenting your academic record, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
