so i am trying to apply to grad school in canada....i graduated form a US university with a 3.065 GPA and now I have 2 yrs working experience with reliable references (managers and above). But still every canadian university is saying I must have a B+ average from school. It doesnt make sense to me. I graduated almost 2 ys ago ...a lot has changed since then, you cannot use my grades then to determine how good i would perform in grad school. Has anyone ever been in this situation? If so pls advise on what i can do. Thanks

Take the courses you want to take as an unclassified student. As a graduate, you are pretty well entitled to take any course you feel up for without the whole grad-school application rigmarole.
If you do well in graduate-level courses and then go to your professors with a thesis proposal, they will likely be amenable to letting you change your status from unclassified to graduate.

There is huge competition to get into grad school and limited spots, so that is why they have that standard. Keep trying...maybe write a letter to the University asking them to accept you into the program (and why you would be a suitable candidate)...attach your transcript and your references and request an appointment to meet with them to discuss this. If you show them how serious you are about your studies they may accept you in spite of their policy.

Absolutely not. You need 8-10 years of experience playing or coaching hockey, professional use of the words, "eh", "oot", and "aboot", proof of having killed a moose, and a large jug of maple syrup
