Control Engineering Master's with Mediocre-Low Undergrad GPA. Possible?

[Philmac]

Hello,

I am currently half way through my forth year of undergraduate electrical engineering at the University of Waterloo (Canada) and am considering going to graduate school for control engineering. Unfortunately, mostly due to poor work ethic on my part, my GPA is only about 3.3/4.0 (77.78% cumulative, 77.5% in third+forth year). I've looked at the websites of the notable Canadian universities that I'm aware of and those that do provide their GPA requirement all require 3.3/4.0. However, is it even worth applying to these schools with my GPA? Also, I really have no idea which schools are good for graduate engineering studies, let alone controls. Anyone have any advice?

Thanks in advance,
Phil

UofA requires a 3.0 gpa

I know it's not an answer to your question, but I think it might be helpful to know.
