I am on hold. I missed the automatic admission gpa by a hair. As far as I know the department is lowering it to fill the seats. They will go through everyone on hold (which goes from a 3.39 to a 2.5 I believe) and see how far they will lower it. It might be half a point, it might be 3. It will depend on what fills the seats. The admissions office said they are expecting to know if they are lowering it and what they are lowering it to in about a week. The it will take some more time for them to go through our files and update us. They still expect end of November for final decisions on anyone who met all the requirements, but did not have a 3.4. Hope that helps!:)
