What GPA do physics and math grad schools require?

[Tony11235]

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but what is the lowest gpa one can have to be accepted by graduate schools in the areas of physics, mathematics, and/or computer science? I will be a junior next year and I'm majoring in physics and math/csci. But I don't regularly have the best gpa. I tend to get between 3.4 and 2.8 unfortunately. I still have plenty of time to improve. But what are the chances of getting accepted say at a 3.3?

A 3.0 GPA will not kill your application, if other aspects of it (specifically references, GRE score) are strong. The top grad schools, however, may be reluctant.

what about engineering?

which one is more important?
GRE, GPA or references?

 

[EvLer]

all to some degree, i think something like this, in order of importance:
1. references
2. GPA
3. GRE

Research experience is also very, very important. If you can do research with a prof while you're in school, do it. Also aply to REUs!
