erdos1123 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have a very poor GPA at a university in california (2.3). I want to eventually apply to a M.S. program but am not sure what I can do to make myself a good candidate. I haven't really done research. After I graduated I took an internship in information technology, and have been there for a few months. I have not yet taken the GRE. What can I do now, to help myself get into graduate school.

fdhkjal Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Realistically, you're in a tough spot. Schools normally have a 3.0 hard minimum. I would retake classes if you can. Mecasickle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned with your LORs and SOP at this point. With that low a GPA, you probably don't have LORs from undergraduate, so you will have to get them from non-degree graduate. Good luck.
