You will be surprised to know that for various top academicians, economists, researchers, and HR officials high GPA score of an applicant is never the only requirement for selection because there are some very important things which a high score/high GPA can never account for such as research ability, interpersonal skills, leadership skills, and interpersonal skills and this finding came from James Heckman (Noble Prize Winner) co-authored research paper.

This is why various top ranked international universities do not consider high GPA/score to be the only benchmark to grant admissions to local/international students and instead their admission offices are instructed to evaluate admission/scholarship applications based on applicant’s research proposal/study plan, previous achievements, ressearch/patents and many other similar factors.

Similarly, there are a set of international universities which are providing admissions into undergrad, postgrad, and teaching assistant (TA) positions to local and international students who do not have high scores or high GPAs and this is why i wrote this useful article for all of my those students with low scores to apply for scholarships/admissions in these 36 international universities and for your ease i have also mentioned their international university rankings (Ref USNEWS) so that you will know these universities are all under top 1500 global universities.
