G. Cuvier Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hello everyone! I just graduated college with a degree in Biology with a gpa of about 2.7. My gpa didn't end up so well because of a bunch of reasons depression, transferring schools, didn't really know I wanted to do until it was already too late among some other things. My passion is set in marine biology and have been pursuing that since I graduated. I would definitely say if college went differently I would had no problems getting the gpa I needed. I plan on going for a masters and possibly a phd. Unfortunately, all the masters programs I've seen require a 3.0 just to apply. I've read that I could get a second bachelors degree to improve this but other than that I'm not sure what I can do to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoh197 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 There's a really good thread in the Lobby... the sub-3.0 acceptance thread, that has lots of great advice on what to do in your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edotdl Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Does your school have a 5th-year master's type program? From what I've heard, getting into those programs is much easier and may be more lenient about any GPA cutoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
