suckygpasucky Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 No advice to ask. I recently submitted my SOPHAS application and I'm feeling some anxiety about it. I just need to let things out. It's a boring tale really. I picked the wrong major but stuck with it even though I didn't love what I was learning. But now that I've found something I do love, I'm being haunted by this GPA. I highlighted the few good things of my academic profile in my applications -- decent GRE score, went to a top 25 university, publications, volunteer and teaching experience -- ..... .........but I can't help but feel held back by my less than spectacular GPA. /rant&sobstory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayla123 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I had a 3.2. like you, my major got hard--a lot of levels of calculus and physics, which are NOT my strong points. However, I did a lot of undergraduate research and was active on campus and in the community. GRE scores were good. Got into Hopkins, UNC, GWU, and U Michigan. Don't worry too much. You are MUCH more than your GPA--and your essay/resume should reflect that. I was actually told not to bother applying to graduate school by a career counselor, because she took one look at my GPA and said forget it. Thankfully, I didn't listen. And admissions personnel don't just look at GPA numbers. If you were in a hard major, that definitely factors in (a 3.0 in engineering is a tad more impressive than a 3.8 in criminal justice or something). Hang in there!
