Quick GPA question..

[10thomer]

Does anyone know if a 3.67 is just a generally low GPA for admissions into top grad programs for molecular biology, such as UC Berkeley and Stanford?

While all around academic performance is important, there is also something to be said for your major course (or courses relevant to MB). If that is higher, that will carry some weight with it.

My major is molecular genetics, and I've done quite a bit of upper-level and some graduate level molecular biology. So hopefully that will help me out. I was just wondering if there was an understood GPA threshold that if you were under, these top schools won't even bother with your application. They're pretty bad about posting the stats of their incoming class, so I don't have much info to work with.

That GPA might be stellar or really sad depending on the school and department it came from.
