Creativity is another aspect. Many ancient masters had unique creative thinking. Take Michelangelo for instance. His sculptures and paintings showed extraordinary creativity, which inspired us to break the traditional thinking pattern and be creative in our own fields.
They can inspire modern people by showing that with great passion, one can achieve success. Ancient masters were passionate about their crafts or ideas. Just like Aristotle was passionate about philosophy, and his passion led him to make significant contributions to the field.
Yes, there are. I know someone who had a low GPA in undergrad but got into a great master's program. He had participated in a lot of volunteer work related to his field. This showed his commitment and passion, and the admissions committee saw his potential beyond the GPA numbers.
One way is through strong recommendation letters. If professors can vouch for your skills, knowledge, and potential in other ways, it can offset a low GPA. For example, if you were actively involved in research projects outside of the formal grading system.
