Hello everyone, looking for advice for my situation!
My undergrad GPA is less than the 3.0 requirement, but I have an opportunity this fall to come back and bring it up to a 3.11 if I retake two courses. However, that would mean paying for part time tuition and housing for an extra semester. And money is tight, so there would be a little bit of a struggle there.
My other option is to live at home, save money, get work experience but apply to grad schools knowing I don't meet the minimum requirement.
I guess my question is, which situation is more ideal? If I apply with less than a 3.0, what can I do to improve my application so that I have a chance of getting into grad school? (My resume and LOR are competitive)
I have also read on these forums about people taking online courses or retaking at other universities? Does anyone who has experience with that want to give me any advice?
Thanks in advance!
