JustPassing Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I thought I had a decently competitive GPA (3.6, junior year 3.5 and Senior 3.7). After CASPA calculated all my jacked up grades from when I was 18 and 19 and did not know what I wanted to do etc, CASPA showed I have a 3.02! Has anyone ever been accepted into well known university in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laifalove Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 You just have to keep your head up and hope for the best... I am in the exact same situation as you, there are some schools out there that will place a greater emphasis on your last 30-45 units, hopefully you applied to those!

lov2xlr8 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Trends are important, will also depend on a few other things, what is the B.S. in? It's good it's still above a 3.0 as some schools would cut the app before even looking at rends. A Science GPA above 3.0 with strong work in the core classes (Bio's, Chem's, Micro, etc...) and a trend for the best at the end, you should be OK, won't be a walk in the park but touch on reasoning behind the lower grades in the beginning in your narrative. Also, don't be afraid to apply to a lot of schools, get your application out there, each school has their own "grading system", good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
