I am very anxious (as is everyone I'm sure) about getting an interview due to a lower sGPA than cGPA. I feel that if I get an interview I can excel in the interview process!

Do you have any kind of upward trend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any kind of upward trend? Kind of. Sophomore year I had a C in organic chem. Then junior year is a bit weird. I was injured during basketball season, had to have surgery, and missed a lot of school. My grades suffered that semester. The second semester of junior year I studied abroad so I do not have a GPA for those classes. My senior year, I earned a 4.0 first semester and 3.7 second semester.

Sounds like your more recent courses are stronger, so I would say that’s a plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
