So let's imagine that some hypothetical person is approaching the final year of his or her electrical engineering degree, and the prospect of graduate studies has recently become alluring. If that person does not have very good grades (below the guidelines for admission), is it still possible for them to get into graduate school? How?
Edit: Also curious about different countries. I'm in Canada - how difficult would it be to get into a program in the US or Europe and what are the pros and cons in your opinions? I realize that a lot of this information is available elsewhere but I'm eager to hear the HN version.
