Addressing Low UG GPA in Statement

[edardi1]

Hi all,

I'm about to continue writing my statement, and I was wondering how to address a low GPA?  I graduated five years ago with a bad GPA, but since then I've taken CSD prerequisites and received all A's and B's.  How should I address my low UG gpa in addition to assuring that that GPA does not reflect the type of student i'll be in graduate school?

I sent you a message, @edardi1!

@ccran can you spread this knowledge to me as well? I decided to not directly address it but still just stating that my last 60 credits were successful.

@OP this is random, but I go to UL if you have any questions! I am almost a senior.

@ccran Can you share it with me as well? My overall GPA was a 3.3 when I graduated last fall, but my major GPA was a 3.1 and I have no clue how to address that. I am retaking the course I got the lowest grade in so maybe that will help.
