When graduate programs say the look at your GPA (for certain cut offs) in the last two years of undergraduate course work and you apply to the graduate program in your 4th year Fall term, do they look at your: 1. 2nd and 3rd year grades OR 2. 3rd year grades only Some schools have deadlines before Fall grades are released, so if I apply in the Fall of my 4th year, then my 4th year grades won't be available. I know this question is probably school dependent, but I want to ask for a general consensus.

You should email the PIs at each school to see how long they will fund you, in case you don't get a PhD within 5 years. Some PIs will fund students for more than 5 years. I know of a student who went to the same undergraduate and graduate school for 15 years (6 years for undergraduate and 9 years for graduate). He selected that particular school because he knew it was a safe option since he would still get his PhD even if he can't get them within 5 years.

You should select a PhD program with full funding.
