###############################################

Can anyone give me some suggestion to explain or compensate my GPA in undergradue degree?

In fact, GPA in my previous University is low in general, Ususally, we get a 'C+' if our score is average. Moreover, I have put lot of time in sport teams when I am undergraude student. Should I use these reason to explain my low GPA?

Also, Master in Financial Engineering extremely foucs on Math. Should I take a GRE sub Math to compensate the low GPA?

Thank you very much
