How important are the academic scores of a student?

Is there a way? I mean, how to get into a grad school with low GPA?

Universities are becoming more and more open-minded.
They are accepting applicants with low GPA scores, given that they have a good overall profile.
A few steps you can take-

Explain yourself
Most people will tell you to avoid mentioning your scores at all.
Do not listen to them.
The admissions committee at any university will notice your academic scores.
It’s better to explain yourself in your SOP or write a separate Explanation Letter talking about why your GPA is low.
Highlight a few subjects
Even though your overall score may be less, chances are that you have high scores in particular areas or subjects.
Highlight that.
Score high in GRE or GMAT

Suggestion-
Even though you may not have scored so well in school, a report showing that you enrolled in specific courses and earned recognition while doing so would be very helpful in enhancing your profile.
