Can High GRE compensate for low GPA? in Political Science Forum Posted June 1, 2011 · Edited June 1, 2011 by ketty Hey guys, I'm a senior in undergrad with an econ/polsci major. My cumulative GPA is an unimpressive 3.5 - definitely far below the median for most grad schools. Should I bother even applying to polisci grad school? (I'm interested in IR and theory). Can a strong GRE (1500+) compensate for my low GPA? Assuming a 3.5 GPA + 1500 GRE, what schools should I be looking at?
