linden Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I will be applying to public policy programs for Fall 2009 entrance. My graduate GPA was 3.6. I went to graduate school straight from undergrad. Shortly after starting, I realized I had chosen the wrong profession. I quickly lost interest in my studies, and I ended up with a 3.6 GPA. I know this is an acceptable GPA. Nevertheless, I am concerned because it is much lower than my undergraduate GPA, and I am applying to top public policy programs. Do you think this lower graduate school GPA will be a problem? Should I try to explain it on my statement of purpose? Thanks for any advice.

Dreams Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Your gpa is fine. You do not need to waste time explaining an already solid gpa in your statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
