| Nov 7, 2020 at 19:06 | comment | added | Louic | So tell him the truth then: there was no specific reason for the low GPA, but you have done X and Y afterwards to compensate. | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 19:04 | comment | added | user111388 | Then just say you did not pay attention before and say why this has changed now. | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 19:02 | comment | added | Black Sheep | I don't want to lie, that's why I am asking what can I tell him so that it makes sense. If I wanted to lie, I could have come with a story and wouldn't ask here for suggestions | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 18:59 | comment | added | Louic | Are you seriously asking us to come up with lies you can tell your prospective supervisor? No thanks. | |
