Honestly I don’t think GPA carries that much weight. I think they take everything into consideration with additional emphasis on experience and your essay. With that said, you’re right, it’s an extremely competitive program, especially considering the low cost. You’re GPA is excellent, wishing you good luck!
Did you apply to any other programs? I recently received my letter of acceptance from Columbia but still waiting for the CSU schools that I applied to. Not expecting to hear back until early spring ?.
