M.S. in Food Science

[foodscience]

Hey everyone. 

I have my Bachelors in Nutrition from a state school and am applying to Masters in Food Science programs, however I have a low GPA (2.79). I have about 2 years of work experience and pretty good letters of recommendation. I was wondering if anyone had applied to this program or knew how competitive it was to get into them. These are the schools I am applying to:

University of Kentucky, Mississippi State, Iowa State, Kansas State, University of Tennessee, Texas Tech

ANY advice at all would really be appreciated!! Thank you in advance.
