help about the following programs

Your limiting factor will most likely be that GPA. Most schools look for a 3.0 or even 3.5, in at least the prerequisites (or even overall), for people to apply and be accepted. Just because they state 2.8, does not mean people with a 2.8 are chosen to enter the program. And there are programs that turn away people with 4.0 GPAs. Decide what your geographical desires are and start to apply. Or, if you find that your GPA is too low, look for the programs that do not require a high GPA. You have found one. I would start there. Good luck.

Ya I have found a few on this list that dont require a High GPA or GPA at all (but at least a C in all prerequisites which i have) So I was thinking about applying to those. Also, I live here in St. Louis one of the advisors at UMSL told me even though they require a 3.0 GPA there that I still should apply because I am a male and they require so many males each semester. Is that true?
