Yeah my GPA really came back to bite me in the butt. It's enough to get me interviews seems like it but not good enough to compete with the 3.7-4.0 crowd. Even after retaking some of my science courses my GPA is a 3.4. My GRE was a 319. So it's a numbers game. One school will say yes to us!

Feel this. They didn't seem to care about anything else on my résumé other than my GPA. It was brought up twice in that short 15 minute interview

You know what's crappy is they mentioned my GPA I gave them an explanation on why it was "lower" then they were like why is your GRE score so high. So I explained to them because I have grown from when I was younger in my early college days. And one of them said "you are smart but your transcript shows you are lazy" and then when I was further explaining my situation one of their phones rang and they couldn't figure out how to turn it off. I'm not trying to sound salty lmao like it is what it is, all we need is one yes but like come on lmao
