Alright. Thanks for the clarification guys!

Hey Guys, I was reading the requirementsand appliers must have a cumulative GPA of above a 3.0 during the last 2 years of undergraduate work. For the CUM GPA section on the application do I put my cumulative for the last 2 years or for all the years I've been at the university? It might be a stupid question, but it can really make a big difference. I'm a senior with 2 semesters left (applying in January) and right now I have an overall 2.997 cumulative GPA. Freshmen year was completely atrocious, but I during my past 2 years I've averaged about a 3.3. If anyone could answer my question I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! -Buddy

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm basically all set with recommendations, so now it's just the GRE and the Statement. I'm pretty good in math, but man the verbal section in a practice test absolutely dominated me. If anyone who is thinking about applying for grad school is reading this... learn from my mistake and study the vocabulary words way in advance. Because of work and a full school load I'm honestly just going to focus on finishing this semester strong and apply with a poor GRE score that I know I'm going to get and see what happens.

Thanks for the advice, adaptations. I'm actually just going to be applying for Masters Programs. I think you're right though about the last 60 units. I guess I'm just going to study like crazy this next semester, take the GRE, gather my recommendations, and then apply in January. Thanks for the help!

Hey Guys, I just had a few questions that hopefully someone can help me answer. Right now I'm entering my senior year going for a B.S. in Environmental Studies with a cumulative GPA of 2.997 (messed up Freshmen year). Without Freshmen year I'm averaging about a 3.2ish, which I guess isn't too bad. My main concern is how in the world am I supposed to apply during my senior year? I know a lot of programs require atleast a 3.0 GPA for the last 60 units, but I won't know my GPA since the applications are due during the beginning or middle of my last semester, so what would I put down for that? And second how is the GPA for the last 60 units determined? I have a lot of courses that are considered Credit/No Credit mostly coming from units for my major related internship. I was hoping to start gaining work experience just incase I got rejected from every school. I really messed up deciding to apply for grad school so late and I haven't even started preparing for the GRE yet. Any advice would be appreciated. -Buddy
