Yes, most US universities require a minimum of 70% in your undergraduate degree (equivalent to a 3.0/4.0 GPA) for master's admission in STEM courses. This is the typical threshold, but some top programs may expect a higher GPA.
Your 70% in BSc meets the general minimum for many STEM master's programs. Requirements can vary by university, so some may have higher or more flexible criteria.
For a stronger application, focus on other areas like standardized test scores (such as GRE), relevant work experience, and your statement of purpose.
