Hi everyone,
I am a senior in college majoring in chemical engineering. Right now my plan is to work in industry for a couple of years and then maybe go to grad school.
My major GPA is pretty decent at 3.6, but my cumulative GPA is quite low at 2.6.
I took the GRE and got 166 on the verbal part and 168 on the math part. My school has a very highly ranked chemical engineering department. I like my adviser and three professors and I think that they like me too, so my recommendation letters should be pretty good.
Do you think I have a shot at any of the top 20 grad schools in chemical engineering? Since I want to go to grad school to study chemical engineering does the major GPA have more weight than the cumulative GPA?
Thanks
P.S. I'm a white female, although I'm not sure if that makes any difference in grad school admissions.
