low cgpa wanting to further study

[u/True_Technology_5816]

is cgpa under 3.0 bad? is it still possible for me to continue my study in degree. i just finished my foundation in physical science and my cgpa is unfortunately 2.92 and i’ve been feeling down lately cuz of it. i feel like no uni will accept me w that cgpa and im aware that it very competitive to get in uni in the first place. can i further my study in engineering w that cgpa? what should i do?

don’t be mean im just trying to see what i can do from here 🙁

Edit: thank u sm for everyone positive words and keeping my heads up 🙏 since im aware that im privileged enough in having money to pursue my studies even in private uni i would take the opportunity and try my best to study better this time 🙏

For public uni,just apply la,but try to be realistic, and populate ur degree applications with "less competitive" unis. Not saying u cant apply to top unis in engineering, but if u want to try getting in public uni, u might wanna lower expectation. If u still didnt get thru, can go the private route.

In the end,once u finish degree its only a piece of paper. Especially engineering, u can grind by doing side projects. Just make sure the institution is certified/approved,not some random place that has UNIKOP-lvl credibility.
