I'm an Italian student and I'm attending last year of Bachelor Degree in Economics and Business Economics.

I'm applying for the Master Program in International Management at Utrecht University.

My GPA is about 3.0 ( non-Dutch system ) but having just done a couple of exams I'm looking forward to slightly raise it.

My IELTS score is pretty good ( 7.5 final score ) and I believe I've written a pretty solid motivation letter.

Sooooo.... my concern is : how hard is to get acceppted at Utrecht University with such backgroung?

Thank youuuu

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

Have you read the information about admission and application on their website?

Your IELTS more than meets their minimum 7.0 requirement; they don't mention GPA scores as an entry requirement.  So on the face of it, you have a good chance of being accepted.

My opinion is that these Universities don't know individual applicants from each other, they can only go from applications and perhaps an interview.  Universities will accept to capacity and will always favour those with the best potential of success; put simply, if they have 10 vacancies and 11 applicants for those vacancies, they will choose those with the higher grades - always.

All you can do is try your best, that's all that anybody can do.  I wish you the best of luck.

Hope this helps.
