GPA and scholarship/fellowship?

[levo99p]

Low GPA (B+ from top school) but otherwise strong application  

 

No chance with scholarship/fellowship? What do you think? Thank you!

I had a 3.4 and got a full scholarship and a few other good scholarship offers, do you have good and relevant work experience (at least 2 full years), good LOR? just make sure you do well on your GREs, I studied a lot and got a 164Q, 160V(non native speaker) and 4.5 that made the difference. Most schools even when they say they don´t tend to supplement GPA with GREs so do really well in one and you are set. Obviously be realistic, Harvard and Princeton are hard and just take very few, but all other schools (Harris, LBJ, GPPI, SAIS, Wagner, etc) you should be set
