Really appreciate your reply. Actually, my GPA is slightly above the required minimum (3.0), and I've known several people in my university with similar GPA got admitted already. So I'm confused why the graduate division would pick on me... Anyway, I'll try to contact the department for more information and wish for good things to happen

Hi, Don't know if anyone has encountered such situation. The department has recommended my admission to the graduate school two weeks ago. However, yesterday I was informed that my application was returned to the department because the graduate division thought my GPA was too low... ...Moreover, the mail also said that "A memo from the Department was requested and must be finalized to submit to the Graduate Division upon which time the Graduate Division will consider your application for an official decision". So what does that mean? Does that mean my department is arguing for my admission and I still get a chance? If yes, how good can the chance be? The waiting is killing me and I really can't take rejection at such late time....Huge thanks to anyone that may give me some opinion or advice!
