Which is more important in admissions the Cumulative GPA or major?

[hopefulspeechie16]

Also for those of you that applied this year do you think GPA was the main thing that got you the offer/rejection?

 

Thanks!

My guess would be that CSD classes would be the most important, regardless of whether that was your major or not. Similarly, admissions committees should take into consideration which courses brought down your GPA. For example, poor grades in Sanskrit, chemistry, and music theory are probably looked at differently than poor grades in language development or anatomy. That's just my two cents.
