There is no one definitive answer to this question as it can vary depending on the program and university. However, generally a GPA of 3.0 or higher is considered competitive for most grad schools.
Yes, your undergraduate GPA is an important factor in grad school admissions. It is often used as an indicator of your academic ability and potential success in a graduate program. However, it is not the only factor considered in admissions decisions.
While a high GRE score can help strengthen your application, it may not necessarily make up for a low GPA. Admissions committees typically consider multiple factors when evaluating applicants, and a strong GPA is still an important factor for most grad schools.
This can vary depending on the program and university. Some grad schools may only consider your overall GPA, while others may also take into account your major GPA. It is important to research the specific requirements of the grad schools you are interested in.
It is possible to get into grad school with a GPA below the minimum requirement, but it may be more difficult. In this case, you can try to strengthen other aspects of your application, such as your GRE scores, letters of recommendation, and personal statement, to make yourself a more competitive candidate. You can also consider applying to less competitive programs or retaking courses to improve your GPA.
