Hi, I am new to this forum and thinking of applying to MFA (photography) in spring 2014. The BFA program that I am currently enrolled in is my second bachelors degree and I have about 3.5 GPA after 2nd year. However, I graduated with my first bachelor's degree with an absolutely horrendous GPA and it will bring my cumulative GPA significantly when combined with my current BFA degree. I was just wondering how much emphasis do schools put on GPA when selecting their grad students? Thanks!
