Hello,
I know I know...it is not all about the GPA. Graduate school admittance is based on many factors like GRE scores, recommendations, research experience, etc.
My question however is: what is the GPA at which admission to a graduate program will be rather challenging? I am obviously asking about myself. I am getting ready to apply and my GPA is not bad, but it is not stellar either. It is above 3.0, but not by much.
I have decent research experience and other related hands-on skills, I also have some professional experience. I believe I can get very good recommendations and I am determined to do well on the GREs. Are most schools only interested in high GPA students? Should I not waste my time with competitive programs and focus on smaller less prestigious universities instead?
If any of you guys can relate from personal experience or experiences of people that you know, that would be helpful too...
Thanks,
