Back to blog

My son studies in an American school in Brazil, and is attending the IB program. He has just started 11th grade, he wantes to study Industrial Engineering and his gpa is 2.9 due to a poor 9th grade. Since last year he is one of the best students of his class. Does he have any chances to enter a competitive school?
